About Me



Abrasive tomboy with a napolean complex.free myspace layouts

My Interests

Riding my motorcycle. Thinking hard about pumping up the tires on my bicycle. Solving the mystery, no matter how mundane. Comedy. Physical therapy. Evolution. Gambling. Language acquisition. Talking to random bar flys for hours. Reading in the bathtub with a glass of wine. People watching. Making feasts. Fantasizing about the book I will one day write. Fixing stuff. Bargain hunting. Beermaking. Traveling to 3rd world countries and eating off of snack carts. Primates. Autism and it's success stories. Archetecture. History that relates more to things than to people. Real Estate as sanctioned by Monopoly.

Why I love oakland (continued)...

Today I got bitten by a squirrel. He didn't mean to bite me, it was just that he misjudged where a cashew was while eating out of my hand. The whole experience traumatized him more than it did me, but...

Resolutions

I suppose I have 5. 1 - To take more chances in life. I've noticed things stay very much the same when I am cautious. This means I will both embrace the unknown and cut off the familiar as I see fit,...

Butterflies

Sometimes the butterflies in my stomach (horrible, huge, gigantic, overwhelming winged creatures) posess me, I think. And, being that butterflies have brains the size of a pinhead, you can see how thi...
