love is stronger than death

| Name: | Cera S. |
| Website: | http://www.requiem.com/diony |
| Location: | Mountain View, California, United States |
| Birthdate: | 10-23 |
| Bio: | I'm married to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yessod! Our family also includes the wonderful tabby J.T. Cat and the adorable lynxpoint M.A. Kitten.
Other than that, I have a hard time arranging facts about myself in a coherent way. I'm in my earliy 30s (just barely), and I teach self-defense for Impact Bay Area, as well as serving on the Board of Directors. I'm also a student at San Francisco State University, working on my BA in English Literature. After I finish my BA I'll almost certainly go to graduate school, but I'm not sure if I want to get an MA in Counselling Psychology (and become certified as a therapist) or if I want to pursue a PhD in English Literature and try to find an elusive teaching job, preferably at a sensible state university where I would actually *teach* my students.
I read almost constantly, watch a little TV and the extremely rare movie, experiment with cooking, listen to most sorts of music, study Japanese haphazardly, and obsess about random topics which catch my interest. I also, from time to time, try to write fiction.
I struggle constantly between the desire to transform myself completely from the inside out and the fear of what others will think. Over the last few years the desire for transformation and authenticity has been persistently winning. Go me! |
