About
Who is VirusHead?
I’m a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary thinker. I use the word “thinker” only because the word “intellectual” is so desperately misunderstood.
I’m a humanities Ph.D., discourse analyst, spiritual eclectic (former Jehovah’s Witness), poet, would-be novelist (join the club), progressive liberal, writer, teacher, researcher, webmaster (white-hat SEO) and a whole host of other things.
All of these are attempts at labeling my identity. While I’ve chosen identity markers that I like, these “identity groups” may attract or repel you - or exist entirely outside your interest zones. What makes me different from others who may share the similar “labels” is difficult to articulate, just as you have differences from even the people with whom you have the most in common.
If you’ve ever heard an outstanding eulogy, you know that labels can’t capture what is unique about any one of us.
Fond of stimulating conversation, walking under moonlight, writing, reading, singing, snuggling, playing the piano, debating, and taking photographs - but not necessarily in that order.
Averse to violence, abuse, destructiveness, totalitarian/authoritarian attitudes and methods, mold, mustard greens, and cleaning floors.
I’m located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA (via Massachusetts and Iowa).
You can call me Dr. Heidi or Dr. N. (so that I don’t feel so horrible about the student loans), or you can call me Heidi. Some people call me VirusHead, but usually with a chuckle; at least one person calls me “Vi.” I kind of like that. (Why “VirusHead”?)
