"Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae. Aliquando et insanire iucundum est. Frustra poeticas fores compos sui pepulit." -- Latin Proverbs from Seneca's De Tranquilitate Animi

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." --Antoine De Saint-Exupery

"All doctrines are right in their own respective spheres—but if they encroach upon the province of other doctrines and try to refute their view, they are wrong. A man who holds the view of the cumulative character of truth never says that a particular view is right or that a particular view is wrong."-- Ācārya Siddhasena Divākara

"Openness is our art form. Spontaneity is Genius." --Leonard Cohen

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." --C.S. Lewis

"At the center of any bright flame there's always that little touch of blue..." ----Harper Lee

I'm the woman behind the words, the woman behind the lens...interviewer & acquantaince of many, friend of few, the lone soul that moves in and out of the shadows of a nocturnal existence...I love to support and promote my friends' bands...and expect them to promote and support my mag Crusher just the same....and those who are my friends know just how loyal I can be...

I've written for Creem, Details, Metal Mania, Rock Scene, Reflex, Powerline, Livewire, Creem's Thrash Metal, Metal Hammer, Easyrider's Tattoo, Varla, and IFQ among others. It's many hours of long hard work and not nearly as cool as you'd think. (Point in case: Think about the scene in the movie ALMOST FAMOUS where the kid calls up the famous writer Lester Bangs and is surprised when he's actually home...and Lester tells him it's because, "I'm just not cool." Truer words were never spoken. Thanks, Cameron Crowe!!!) if you'd like to read some of those classic articles, please visit rocksbackpages.com by clicking here

I worked at Gibson Guitars doing endorsements, where I signed Nirvana, White Zombie, Hootie and the Blowfish, Me'shell N'dege'ocello, Biohazard, Rocket From the Crypt, Testament, Killing Joke, Alice In Chains, Hanzel und Gretyl and many others. Not as hard as writing, but more hectic...

I've modeled for Eric Kroll and have been in his books Fetish Girls and Beauty Parade. If you know who that actually is, then you now know a whole lot more about me, and you can pride yourself on the fact that you're smarter than the average bear, Yogi.... you can order fetish girls by clicking here

At this point in my life, I've given up on being a good example...but prefer instead to be a horrible warning...
