About Me

So I was totally going to start a magazine about how teenage girls kick ass. And I still am. Really. First, I have plans for a feminist guerrilla art project and website to celebrate the wonders of real women. This will go down in January, I hope.I write about clubs. And offbeat parties. I actually write about a teenage girl, too, for an ongoing series. Really, my life is awesome. If I wake up and I'm cranky for some reason or another, I have to stop, and put it into perspective. Like, wait, life used to suck and now it's a nonstop fount of awesomeness and adventure. Quit the corporate job? Hell, yes... ....
