Pat Kight: the personal


Reared an Air Force brat ... came of age in the Sixties ... graduated in 1974 from Lake Superior State College ... put in 20 years in the trenches of newspaper and wire service journalism before turning to university science writing and Web-weaving ... In the constant process of reinventing myself, I am a never-married, middle-aged byke in a loving polyamorous relationship with a man I met nearly a decade ago on the Internet. And enjoying assorted crushes and flirtations as well.

I live in a charming, 92-year-old "rural vernacular" house in historic Albany, Oregon, with my partner and his two cats.

In my "free" (hah!) time, I act, direct and design sets and stuff for Albany Civic Theater. Theater is what I love to do. Work is what I have to do.

I also dabble in the decorative arts, from stamping, collage and mail art to book- and mask-making. But mostly, these days, I knit.

I spend way too much time on-line; while my Usenet addiction is more or less over, I keep an active LiveJournal, along with multiple blogs. I'm fascinated less by the technology (although I can geek out with the best of them) than by the social and cultural implications of all this New Stuff. I'm especially interested in how girls and women fit into the mix.

For the terminally curious, here's what I look like.

I enjoy:

Good food
Good books
Good bookstores
Good scotch
Chocolate (All chocolate is good chocolate!)
Good ... erm, vibrations ("... he's outside, looking in...")
Good friends
