Good Girls Don't Undulate.

About Me

What can I say? I'm a laid-back cynic with a strongly developed imagination who thinks that the world must be awfully boring for those who aren't geeks about something.

I enjoy reading, writing, watching TV, going to movies, going to concerts, going to bars, and listening to music (but who doesn't?), birdwatching, bellydancing, roller derby, comparing tattoos, chasing rabbits, eating babies, and generally making myself a nuisance.

My Interests

hockey, t'ai chi, Harry Potter, cartoons, theatre, art, writing, wildlife, vintage photography, burlesque, bellydancing, drumming, birding, bird banding, tattoos, libraries, museums, hiking, climbing, camping, forensic anthropology, cultural anthropology, stories of survival, biology, science, books, music, movies, roller derby

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet other folks interested in tattoos, Middle Eastern dance, cartoons, or any of the other myriad of interests I have listed. I'd like if people I already knew friended me as well. If I don't know you then you'd better send me some sort of message before adding me as a friend or else I will deny your request and ignore you. Look, I don't really care if you think I'm hot. Compliments will get you nowhere. If you don't have something mildly interesting to talk about, or if we have absolutely nothing in common, I'm still going to ignore you.Wackos need not apply.

One is the loneliest number

One of the most difficult things about being in Texas is leaving all of my friends behind. I had just begun to get involved in the Ohio bellydance community, and there are several people there that I...

Austin, Texas

I haven't been in Austin for very long, and already I can tell it's a city that, given the chance, I would spend a lot of time in.  First of all, there's that whole "Live Music Capital of the Wor...

Happy 4th

I got to buy fireworks and shoot them off in the apartment complex where I live with a bunch of annoying neighborhood kids!  They're illegal in Ohio so I haven't gotten to do that before.  I...
