Gravity is Always Your Dance Partner

    Basic Info
    Name:aedifica
    Location:Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
    Bio
    I used to live in Ames; now I live in the Twin Cities with my boyfriend spouse(!), our cats, and a varying number of fish. I keep myself busy with various activities, such as dance and music groups; as I said to a friend last night, "'busy' is part of the definition of 'aedifica'."

    I'm a lover of language and of dance. I have studied (now, that's not to say I'm good at all of these--I run the gamut from barely literate to almost fluent, depending on the language) German, Latin, Ancient Greek, Spanish, French, and Ancient Hebrew, and would like to learn more. Similarly, I've done ballet, jazz, Scottish, morris, hoop, and belly dance and I also dabble in contra dance.

    My journal is friends-only ever since my last job search. That doesn't mean I don't want you reading, it just means I want to know WHO is reading--so feel free to ask to be added, and it'll probably happen.

    I keep another journal for my adventures in cooking: [info]liza_cooks

    "Love of one's country should be like love of one's spouse--a give-and-take criticism and affection. Although it is hoped one prefers one's spouse to other people... one does not prove that one loves one's wife by battering other women." -- Garry Willis, quoted by Barbara Kingsolver in her book High Tide in Tucson
