I thought a while about what to title this blog and finally decided on something. I live in the Midwest, where I find myself both on the edge--politically and personally--and made edgy by the disjunction between myself and the dominant culture surrounding me.
Not all of the Midwest is conservative.
Not all of the Midwest is religious.
Where I live is all these things and more.
I'm liberal, feminist, non-religious, outspoken, divorced, and strong-minded.
I locate myself on the far edge.
In addition, lots of people might call me edgy. I'm too concerned with words. Too concerned with minute actions that other people might not MEAN to be discriminatory. I need to "lighten up." Not to take everything so politically. To take off my critical glasses and just enjoy things.
Well, sorry. On the edge, edgy, and proud of it.
