Basic Info| Name: | Isabel S. |

BioAs a child, instead of taking away tv or other privileges, my mother used to take away my library card because she thought it would teach me to behave. What it actually taught me was to check out the maximum number of books allowed at one time so that I would still have books around the next time I misbehaved.
I do have other interests besides reading, including sewing, gardening, and all things related to food, and I am active in environmental and social justice causes. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and we are childfree (if we had kids, we wouldn't be able to afford books, and a girl's got to have her priorities straight). I am Puerto Rican by birth (well, my parents' really) and Jewish by choice, and that has made for some interesting life experiences. I have a master's degree in Divinity and a certificate in Event Management. I use one or the other, both, and neither, frequently. Someone once described me as an onion-as in with many layers-and I'm hoping to live up to that.
I've been in fandom for about 15 years now but only just discoverd LJ a couple of years ago after a WisCon-related bit of fail. I have met lots of great people at WisCon that I now keep up with on LJ, and I've met lots of new folks as well. I am always learning from and growing because of my LJ community, and for that I thank you.
I want to emphasize that learning is not always fun or easy, and if you see something here that you disagree with, it's ok to discuss it. Debate is good for the soul and makes you think. Keep in mind, debate =/= fight. It is not ok to call anyone names or otherwise behave badly. Actions are fair game, people are not. And NO generalizations! Behave badly and you will be banned.
If you add me to your friends list, please send me a message so I know who you are.
