Hi! My name is Rachel Kronick. I have many interests, including gender studies, science and science fiction, alternative music, Chinese and other Asian languages, astronomy, philosophy, morality, drawing, computers, makeup, comics, politics and lots of other stuff. As you can see, I like to use my mind a lot (though not so much my body -- no wonder I'm so fat!).

The main contents of this site are listed in the menu to the left.

What's new with these pages I have a section describing what's new with these pages, as there may actually be people who check often enough to wonder if I've added anything recently. I usually list things in the What's New section before I get around to indexing them more properly, so it's not a bad idea to check there if you can't find something elsewhere.

All the other stuff

Chinese version of these pages

This page also has a Chinese version, which shouldn't require a special browser, but it does require that you understand Chinese! (If you can read Chinese but your computer can't, please go to the section of my pages on how to get your computer to display Chinese characters.)

Hmm, what am I forgetting? Oh, yeah, my e-mail address! Please write to me if you have anything to say about this page or me or you or anything. Also, being an English teacher, I get really annoyed by typos, broken links, etc., so if you see any here, please let me know!

Oh, a quick note about writing to me, though... While I don't get many messages from the people looking at my pages, I do get enough (in combination with my own, private e-mail) that I am almost always far behind in my letter-writing. In other words, please forgive me if I take a long time to respond to anything you might write to me. Also, please forgive me for using a web-mail address here, rather than my real, personal e-mail address -- I have to, otherwise I would get tons of spam on my personal account. Don't worry; if you write to me in sincerity, I will read it and eventually write back.
