About Me

did i mention that i used to be a scientist? i was doing genetic engineering. i got fired. it's a long story why. a lot of factors contributed. mostly, i don't think i was a very good politician in my youth.i am pretty mild mannered. someone once told me that if i got any more mellow, i'd be dead. one should not confuse this with laziness. to me, mellow is a state of mind. laziness is a state of being.
i am really into music. and recording. i have a little studio called the
i do a radio show with a bunch of my friends. you can check it out here:
or search for 'creot radio' in itunes podcasts (i'm the mistress of creot).let's see...what else? i'm really into riding bikes. i'm morally opposed to owning a car. i just got a little rickashaw for my bike so my little dog can ride in it. my dog is the cutest little dude.i live in minnesota now, but i've lived lots of places...austin, seattle, san diego, la, madison, san antonio, vacaville, tulsa. i guess you could say i have a restless heart.i also have a weak spot for the underdog. for people who go against the odds and win. but even more, for those who go against the odds and fail. that's where all the real lessons are. all of life's mysteries are wrapped in a beautiful puzzle that a lot of people never have time for.i am a fighter, deep down. alot of people don't notice. because i don't fight to win. i fight to get better.winning is sometimes losing. and losing is sometimes winning. but it doesn't always sink in right away. it's best not to put too much weight on the judge's scores. scoring systems are generally simple linear models that don't mirror reality.
