About Me

My older brother used to call me Earth's Last Hope. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I take it as a compliment. Me and the Universe definitely get along well. When I need something it usually shows up at exactly the right moment. I collect vintage calculators and interesting people. I love to learn new mad skillz whenever possible. If you ever need a flower pin, I'm your woman. I'm a veggie but I can't stand it when vegan's say "I haven't eaten an egg in eight years". My favorite Smurf is Clockwork. If you don't know who that is, get on it. I wish I had been a boyscout. Green is my favorite color but chrome is a close second. On an average day I quote the movie Super Troopers 3-5 times, like right meow. I grew up on a farm and have the license plate to prove it. Otis Redding is my homeboy. I have a Crocodile Dundee Action figure for a body guard. Someday I'll probably actually turn into a cartoon of myself.

My Interests

I have cartooned since the day I was born. I love to draw myself as a cartoon. If I like you enough you can be one too and then our cartoon selves can play nintendo together but I get to be Luigi dammit. Restoring full size arcade machines with the help of my Dad & brother. In my game room/garage right now: Joust, Spy Hunter, Birdie King 2, Shinobi, Ms Pacman and a table top Crazy Kong. I love to do this. I have three mopeds that have as much personality as I do. Riding them is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I also collect 1960's enamel flower pins & vintage purses among various other sub-collections of thriftsore junk. I was born and raised to thrift. Thanks Mom and Dad!

I'd like to meet:

I don't watch much TV. Not that I'm a hater but I just don't get ANY reception. I do when I have the chance enjoy: M*A*S*H re-runs, ER new and old (only if watched with my Dad) Simpsons, and those cheesy animal rescue shows on cable.
