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.

i am still blushing.

I went to the fancy donut shop on 24th Street today to get birthday donuts for a friend. The following conversation actually happened to me:

Girl Behind Counter: Hey, you live in the neighborhood, right?
Me: Yes, I do.
Girl Behind Counter: Okay, so I live around here too, and so do a lot of my friends, and I feel like I should tell you that you’re kinda known as “Cute Sock Girl.” Like, my friend and I were hanging out a couple days ago, and we saw you walking down 24th Street, and she said to me “Look at her! Whenever I see that girl, I always do a double-take to check out her fabulous socks!”
Boy Behind Counter (nodding vigorously & flashing me a flirty smile): Yeah!
Me (dying a little): I… Wow. Wow. Thank you. I’m a little verklempt.
Girl Behind Counter: Oh, just take the compliment, you deserve it!

Then they gave me a free donut.

I am still blushing.
