March Conceptuals

It's March already! That means there is only a span of three months time to Anime North! but for this month I need to partially eschew it from my mind to be able to finish the sememster. April the 8th is my last exam, lucky me, which is not to long to wait. Until then I have, and have done, and am planning lots of cool stuff.

First is my awareness website done in cunjuction with Kathleen Marques. Awareness of Genocide and Racism towards Indigenous Peoples with a proactive approach to post-colonialism. Something I'd like to get into defining sometime.

A soon to be project I have been alluding to, a work in progress, is achiving an androgynous existance. I dont want to simply look androgynous, I want to be be anndrogynous in everyday life. That means embodying charachteristics of both male an female, although I feel I'm fairly good at that/well along in getting there but I need some more work. In reality I have been socialized as a female in the western protistant world so there is alot about valued implemanted in colonialization, and socail "norms" I need to identify and overcome. It may be a life process, but I really feel I am in many ways a Berdache already. But because I look unmistakably like a woman I am judged as such, it is infact limiting and becoming irritating (well its never been easily tolerable), and so being able to achieve a more andrgynous apperance will help to stifle that and allow me to do as I please more efficiantly. I'll be cosplaying as rather androgynous boys for Anime North so the goal for the physical change is then. This is where the fitness buisness comes in, I need to thin out quite at bit (especially to be Ciel Phantomhive), and put on a little muscle as I am going to be Edward Elric one day that weekend.

Other projects:
for this blog I would like to write a definition for pornography, to apply to "echhy" animes, hopefuly I can use this for a panel at AN(2012) with the crew?

I want to continue the androgeny discussion by defining the gender nexus from Profesor Peter Paolucci.

I also want to write about a few theory books once I get through them, including but not limited to Fast Feminism, and Free Culture.

Later on, I'll post up actual work by me, and writings by me, if I dont take on a Blog specifically for that purpose. In the meantime you can chech out my Electronic Landcape blog "Angie All About the Facs", where I have all of the work I've done for that class. And you can see my portfolio if you haven't already (It needs some updating though).
One day I will finally get working on the graphic novel I have in the works, and perhaps it will make its daybut here!

Now that you know what the blogs potential can be, I can shirk it. The obligations is sor of out there, yay! wish me luck, until next time!
