About Me



or you can get it here !
i practice sigil magic, have two cats, and smell of dragon's blood. i don't like sushi, which usually elicits cries of disbelief- "what?! how can you not like sushi? who doesn't like sushi?!"...i also don't like caps. by this i mean hats (but only on me) and capital letters, but i do know the difference between "your" and "you're", and "there", "their" and "they're". i love good food, books, movies, conversation, music, and pretty things, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. i've been in portland for a short time now and find it exhilarating. i have put together a full band and they are some fine musicians. we will start to rock pdx...now! also, i just found out that i have the same birthday as steven colbert, which makes me awesome.
