About Me


You have been marked on my profile map!
When I was a little girl, maybe 9, I dreamed that I had to save the world from the devil, who was my next door neighbor. Everyone else thought he was a dentist and had really cool cook-outs, but I noticed that the name on his mailbox was Dr. S. A. Tanner. Why was a fourth-grader the only one staying on top of this shit? But don't worry, God gave me this magical charm bracelet that helped me do...something. It wasn't so great but I was supposed to think it was special. Mostly though, I spent the dream feeling extremely put upon. And randomly, I would float up five or six feet in the air. It wasn't a tremendous help defeating the Prince of Darkness and rescuing my parents, but it's probably why I have such bad vertigo today.

I am an asset to Kings County (and a good citizen!)

I've been sick for awhile. I've got all kinds of random, sometimes hilarious but mostly tedious, stuff wrong with me. I sleep 14 hours a day. My bones are softening. I don't leave the apartment much. ...

Do rabbits and hamsters go to the same heaven?

Back in 2001-2002 I, and many others, followed the antics and cuteness of rabbit named Oolong. You see, Oolong was special. He could balance things on his head and he had his own website. Well, pr...

Sic Semper Tyrannis

...Thus always to tyrants. I met a girl the other day who I decided to make my new best friend (NBF). She seemed supremely alright. She was funny and kind of mean and she had little glasses, cute hair...

It's true. Everyone is good at something. As much as I wish I could be a ninja or think strategically or have some superpower (even if it was just the ability to predict when the phone was going to ri...
