That Screwball Ass

Hi everyone!

I’m pretty sure everyone write this but I never quite know how to tell people about myself and I always try to avoid doing so when given the opportunity. I do like bullets, so you’ll have to deal with that. :)

• I’m Hyacinthe de la Neigeuse—No, it’s not my birth name.
• I’m a sociopolitical philosophy and ethics major with a minor in Queer/Sexuality studies.
• My birthday is August 13, 1993 which makes me a Leo with a Gemini Moon and a Sagittarius ascendant. 
• I speak, read and write fluent French and Gallo, as well as a small bit of German.
• I have Coeliac disease and Eosinophilic esophagitis with severe sensitivity to wheat, barely, rye, and soy. 
• My shoulder blade are considerably thicker than they should be and because of an assult and resultant crushed nerves I have no feeling in a fair bit of my left hand. 
• I can read and write ancient and ecclesiastical Greek and Latin.
• I live in Atlanta and I’m fairly active in local activist efforts.
• I identify as a faggot or queer with preference to the former.
• I’m somewhere in between a genderqueer and a trans*woman. Simply, I don’t want to fully present as a woman; I like being able to pick and choose elements of my identity; I just don’t want my penis. I’ve never put much effort into gendering myself.
• I plan to go to graduate school in a year or two after I finish my undergraduate work obviously. I’m really liking UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, CUNY, Yale and U Toronto at the moment.
• I’m a vocalist. I sing contre-tenor in the range of a mezzo-soprano (F#3-B5) and baritone (A2-G#4), but I prefer work in the upper registre or falsetto that was written for castrati or contre-tenors.

On to my interests:

• The hystory of philosophy starting with Thales of Miletus,  Esagil-kin-apli, and the Ubuntu tradition all the way up to the current philosophical happenings of today and the ways that they have influenced one another. 
• Discovering queer people throughout hystory who have been repressed or erased by the oppressors. 
• Exposing concepts to dialogics.
• Learning about my own privilege from others.
• Teaching other people about their privilege. 
• Animadverting natalist theories in favor of an antinatalist counterpart that would hopefully make Schopenhauer blush.
• Making new words that I see a purpose for (such as making French as neuter as possible).

Should I get a give a list of people I find interesting?

• Luce Irigaray: I find zir work absolutely enthralling, particularly the mimetic stylings of zir Bachelardian “elemental series,” L’Oubli de l’air, chez Martin Heidegger; Amante marine de Friedrich Nietzsche; Passions élémentaires (with Maurice Merleau-Ponty); and an analysis of Marx and fire that I still pray will be published.
• Guy Hocquenghem: Zir works, L’Amour en relief and Eve, drew me into the fabulousness of zir work and I stayed for  Homosexual Desire. I secretly wish to translate zir work one day.
• Michel Foucault: What queer’s list of Foucault would be complete? I know zie’s problematic, but I still hold a deep admiration for the person.

Well, yeah, I’ve got to go get ready for class and an exam, so I’ll finished this later tonight; it’s not like I have any followers.
