Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

  • Things that are great about renting a car for Easter weekend with your sweetie

    Things that are great about renting a car for Easter weekend with your sweetie:

    + Zipping through the Bay Area suburbia of your early childhood and playing tour guide.
    + Not being reliant on public transit to get you out of family functions that are faraway from your house.
    + Realizing once you leave said family function that neither you nor your sweetheart have ever been to a drive-in movie. Looking up drive-ins in the Bay Area, just ‘cause. Going to a late-night $7 double-feature show at a drive-in in Concord, even though it’s kinda far away. Because fuck it, you are IN A CAR and you have that magical ability.
    + Also, it doesn’t matter if the first movie is TERRIBLE and you only stay for one. The point is not so much the movie. The point is the drive-in.
    + The adorable gay 17 y/o drive-in attendant with the eyebrow ring.
    + Drive-thru milkshakes.
    + Car make-outs.

    All of which is to say that yeah, maybe it is time I finally learned how to drive.
