who is this clod?
“Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?”
“The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.”
“Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?”
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.”
“That is good! That is good.”
Hi there. I’m Helen. My feet are pictured above. Yes, it’s a real tattoo. I am a small, grumpy lady in my mid-20s. My areas of interest include but are not limited to: feminist cultural studies, history, heavy metal, bike rides, little kittens, and fancy beers. Writing is one of my favorite things to do: in addition to this, I keep a paper journal and do a zine called Doctrinal Expletives (currently carried by Stranger Danger, Click Clack, False Start, and Vampire Sushi). Basically, my purpose here is post geek-ass intellectual ramblings about my aforementioned interests, and electronically hobnob with other people who have similar geeky leanings. And get free beer! YEAH!
Hey Helen,
My friend Julia Davidson linked me to your blog. I really like it! I linked mine to you if you want to check it out. Perhaps you may dig it!
Anyway, keep up the witty writing, your blog rocks!

Hey! Glad you liked my blahg, I enjoyed yours as well. It’s always awesome to see another non-fluffy pagan. Well, I guess I’m not actually “pagan” in the sense of religious practice but I do find the Norse epics to be inspirational reading during tough times. (As far as the Poetic Edda goes, I prefer the Hollander translation, though the Bellows one has its moments.)
Hi!
I’ve had multiple friends send me the link to your blog here…i too am a feminist lady who is into metal. I happen to play guitar in a band called Order of the Gash (hence, why several friends have pointed out your blog to me). Soooo just wanted to stop by and say hello =)
