About Me

I'M MARRIED. To this guy ...So porn-bots and other random creepy guys can stop sending me messages now, thanks.

Knit knit purl purl.

I could say a million things about myself, but I'd rather not. That's what all those annoying survey bullitins I send out are for.

I am an art school drop out.

If you have something to say to me, just say it.

My Interests

I like, in no particular order: Eating icecream. Hearing from old friends. Picking scabs. Cooking big meals. wondering what it would be like to win the lottery. painting. knitting. sewing. planning big projects that I may or may not ever finish. listening to good music in the car. listening to other people's stories. taking long lazy walks at night with my husband. learning. singing. napping. hanging out with my family. World of Warcraft. laying on a freshly vacuumed floor. the smell of my clean laundry. junk stores and antique malls. Weekends. Getting dressed up semi-nicely. Shopping with Mom. remembering. watching my cats do retarded things. Indian food. Worrying about what kind of parent I'll be. Worrying about being able to BE a parent. Sitting here and playing spider solitaire. Onigiri. Listening to audiobooks while I knit

cars that go boom

Jon and I were rear ended not once, but twice at a stoplight yesterday.  We were almost pushed by the at-fault minivan driver into a blind man crossing the street at the stopwalk.  At the ti...
