areplogle@gmail.com BioHi. Name's Al. Short for Alicia Marie Bernadette Columbia Scholastica McEvoy-Replogle.
In case you hadn't noticed, I was raised Catholic. I'm mostly over it.
I am a mom, a writer, a frustrated stand-up comedian. I'm an occasional muse, yarn slut, opera geek, Rent-head, and gamer girl. I'm an amateur belly dancer, granddaughter, bagel pimp, incest/rape survivor, low-rent kinky Martha Stewart wannabe, submissive in switch's clothing. I'm a fogey goff, craftswoman, Gemini, witch, poet, pervy elf fancier, music geek, sister, evil twin, painter, and girly-girl who hates to admit it. I'm an unrepentant goofball, occasional barista, word geek, cheerful pervert, occasional tomboy, former sorority girl, caretaker, food service wage slave, redhead, wannabe cartoonist, and Wombat in any random order, depending on the day and the phase of the moon and my mood and whoever is talking about me at the time.
I am the girl you waited for and the girl you dread loving.
Or, in the words of the Gore Gore Girls, I'm "one half tomboy and one half bitch."
And there is so much more to me. I'm just now learning that. Only took me 1/3 of a century.
Any questions?
I have two children. They are my life. Even if I still threaten to occasionally sell one or both of them on Craigslist.
I live with my fellow food service professional/wage slave, Kent, in The Glass Asylum. He waited an insanely long time to get to keep me, and I try not to make him regret his patience. He tries to make me not regret that I'm living with a former video game tester. Most of the time, we succeed.
I was more or less raised by Pinky and Brain. In heterosexual, human form. No, really. And they're still happily married after sixtysome years. They have not, however, taken over the world. Yet.
I burn incense. I have issues...and questionable taste in music. I live in a college town, play video games, and am unashamed of the fact that my interests are evenly split between those of 80 year old ladies and those of 15 year old boys. I play the bodrhan, the recorder, and a mean kazoo. I have a Master's in English and prefer to work food service jobs, because working with my hands is what I truly love, and food is my passion. I believe in eating ramen noodles so I can afford 1,000 thread count sheets and Anita Blake novels and used dvds. The sheets will come in handy when I am no longer sleeping in a twin bed with the boy. I have too much yarn, too little time, and a circle of friends and loved ones who keep me from going insane. In this, I am truly blessed.
I am both a collared slave and a feminist, and that works for me.
Oh, and I still wanna be Jo when I grow up.
And, yeah, this is still the theme song hereabouts. Please rise if you feel like it:
Defying Gravity (edit)
from Wicked
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love - I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -
Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
"The only things you find in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead armadillos." Steve Fisher
"Nothing provokes speculation more than a woman enjoying herself." L.M. Alcott
"Live hard, work hard, play hard." KRS
"Sometimes life takes you where you weren't expecting to go." Firefly
"I think there's a lot to be said for contentment." Billy Joel
"Half of life is fucking up. The other half is dealing with it." Henry Rollins
"No shame, no guilt, no day but today. That is how we live in the Glass Asylum." KRS
"Tramps like us, we were born to run." Bruce Springsteen
"If I'm the voice of reason, something is horribly wrong." Stephanie Miller
Any more questions? RTFJ.
