About Me

Hmm, I think most people know this but I am legally blind. I tend to take out my contacts and then bump around the house trying to figure out where I left my glasses.

I am a dork.

I usually start the shower and then do about 10 other things that I need to do while the shower is running.

I am a bit daft at times, although I do no like to admit it. To admit it would be to admit that I am related to my mother.

That pretty much sums it up.

My Interests

Lots of things, prehistoric succulent gardens, origami, sushi, and all things nippon. Honen Matsuri. Reading, cats, buddhism. Stinky cheeses. Striped underwear. My compy. Owl decorated objects from around the world. Dia de los Muertos. Dim sum. Four-legged fuzzy butts. Walking in Los Angeles. Strawberries, Greek Yogurt and Honey. Seahorses.

The Muppets- especially that flock of singing chickens that accompanied the Great Gonzo.

Music:

You cannot pin me down.

Movies:
