About Me

Greetings! A little over two decades ago my parents made sweet sweet love and the result was a little mistake surprise-me! They named that mistake surprise Charlotte because of my dad's love of the E.B. White classic 'Charlotte's Web' and my mom's love of the '80s country hit, 'Swingin' by John Anderson. Then came motor skill developement....childhood......cried when I found out Jim Henson died.....MC Hammer......childhood......I was really good at Pogs.....childhood.....a very bad haircut in 6th grade that made me look like one of the Petes from 'The Adventures of Pete and Pete'......more childhood......teenage angst.....adolescent milestones blah blah......more angst.....high school graduation.....college gradution. Now I work in the labor movement in Sacramento. My cat works at Del Taco. I like things, people, animals, and situations that are funny. I'm have a fear of getting shot randomly while driving my car and also of blowing up while at a gas station. I'm a d e m o c r a t . I can be too sensitive . I'm a dork. I like going of on strange tangents. It's hard for me to make up my mind sometimes most of the time.
My AIM thingamajig is CharSteelpond but I'm on Google Talk much more often (message me for that).

A kitten bats around a ball of yarn but what he's really saying is, "You know I can't knit, motherfucker." That is one foul mouthed kitten." -Mitch Hedburg
Good friendship is like an outdoor cat. Just hangin' out. It can take care of itself. It can be gone for a couple of days, it'll come back, no big deal. . . Once in a while it'll get eaten by a coyote." -Adam Carolla
