About Me

I'm a quirky hippy chick who enjoys music of all kinds, and sometimes I sell merch for some local bands. I'm also good with things that involve my hands, hence juggling, crochet, and knitting, you perverts. And somehow people think I'm pretty, but I think of myself as a glorified version of Olive Oyl.

I studied abroad. I finally got a real job. Then I got laid off and I'm so glad it happened!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Cyborgs. The Electric Spine. Beer and whiskey tasters. Rock stars. Genetic engineers. Ultra liberals. Socialists. New Yorkers. People who could paint me in the nude. 9 inch Pianists. Dorks. World travellers (especially if I'm travelling the world). Geeks.

Buy some stuff already!

This made me cry

Keeping up with the DOL

So, I had an excellent interview last week.  The company is real chill, the folks seem like they're just really nice and intelligent and all, and people bring their dogs to the office.  In fact, I wal...

Ah May...

This is hopefully going to be a fun month.  Of course it started with No Pants Day, but the boss threatened that I should wear clothes below the waist this year. Lame.  The next big thing is Josh's bi...

New Family Members!

Yes, multiple.  Instead of just taking in one blue russian I have two frazzled and terrified kitties hiding out in my house.  When I contacted a lady about adopting a cat in foster care with one of he...

Really? Booooo!

So, I'm still kinda sick, and I really think the thing that could really help me in this stage of illness is a humidifier.  A few years back I had nearly the same thing happen - I was sick, it was win...

Bad time for pets

I awoke this morning around 4.30 from a horrible dream.  First, my mom's kitty, Vicki, passed.  Then, my mom died in the same day after battling some prolonged illness.  After that happ...
