About Me

i like coffee and music. i work on a computer too much. i am addicted to reading, crosswords and snowboarding. I was Female Country Artist of the Year in 2001. my desk will never be clutter-free. it's hard to find the door to leave. doing one thing at a time? the high desert of the southwest. dolly parton should do a song with calexico. i swear too fucking much. i used to pack my holly hobby suitcase and threaten to run away a lot, but my mom could always get me back by bribing me with chocolate pudding. i have an avid interest in the us civil war. there is not enough time ever for bullshit. religion fascinates me.
i think it would suck to be reincarnated as white-out.
i do a lot of charity work, as in, i don't kick old people or steal their purses and sometimes i buy my friends drinks.
