About Me

Self-description ephemeral; it depends on what time of the mind you caught me in. I'm a writer, published sporadically - no real financial reward so far with the exception of one poem which managed to make me money...briefly. Lyricist who can't sing. Perpetually frustrated mediocre visual artist. Music appreciator across several genres but I do tend to like it lush, grandiose, literate and darkdelicious - if it's described as 'pretentious', there's a good chance I'll enjoy it. I am an unrepentant aesthete. I am a pedantic speller. I am an intellectual elitist. I do not enjoy onions. I think the word 'crapulent' is much more descriptively accurate than 'hungover'. Bring me art, make me melt, lie elegant in disarray... I want everything to be more lunarbeautiful. When I grow up I would like to be pyrokinetic.
I live in Melbourne with my beautiful husband Jon, a novelty oversize cat - Ares, an orchid that miraculously I am yet to kill, and some transient insects who, on the whole, are not invited. I am slave to a trilogy that I hope to complete writing by the time I'm...oh, about 80. No, wait - 85.
Where some of my poetry lives

The link to the site I got this background colour from is kinda bossy, but it's embedded. Of course, go there if you like. However, despite its insistence, I do not necessarily endorse the "so should you!" part of things. I am crap at HTML.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The characters from my in-perpetual-progress trilogy. (With the proviso that they're not allowed, if they have the required skills, to murder me for plotlines which left them...annoyed.)

A random, vaguely-but-not-entirely demented person who felt suddenly compelled to endow me with a great deal of money, just because.

Me as a kid, so I could ask me what the hell I was laughing at when I used to watch 'Are You Being Served' aged 7.

Pointlessness

It occurred to me today that, if something doesn't have a point, by default that makes it circular.I think that a lot of what I do is very well-rounded.

why i never seem to update here

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not very good at MySpacing. I think this because: (A) I'm finding it all too public for me to put anything especially  personal (ie: interesting) in it. (B) I...
