I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am crafty, I'd give a kidney for a good ball of baby alpaca yarn, I love my dogs, my boyfriend and good music.
I bite my nails, worry that my house will burn down if there isn't someone in it watching it at all times, and have a tendency to sing out loud to songs in public.
Mostly I knit a lot, for fun and for profit. (www.danido.com)

I study sociology, I read a lot and I watch an insane amount of crime drama. I dig anything that is just a little dark and twisty even though I appear fairly normal on the outside. I promise you, I'm dark and twisty.

My Interests

my pets, crime t.v. technology. good music. good books. jack daniels. knitting. writing. dissecting why people do things.

I'd like to meet:

Matt Skiba.
anyone in Vegas who digs art, music and coffee as much as me.
Other people who are into the DIY thing.
Down to earth Vegas people.
The self taught and the ambitious. People with ethics. The free thinking, free wheeling and free standing.
People interested in art, fashion, creating, cultural studies, tattoos, dogs, reading and politics. Those not afraid to talk about religion, politics and sexual preference.

Music:

matt hopper, the pixies, the cure, alkaline trio, modest mouse, deathcab for cutie, the yyy's, jenny lewis, the decemberists, my brightest diamond, the old 97s, billie holiday

Movies:

My Blog

Fast As You Can

I update here so infrequently I’m not sure why I bother. I have two other blogs of my own that I update as often as I remember, as well as the blog I do for my job that I try to update every wee...

A Random Couple of Weeks

Christ on a cracker it's been a long couple of weeks. Josh and Devon came down for a week, which was sharply puncuated by both Mike and I coming down with the flu/worst cold ever/plague. I'm not sure ...

Adios 2007!

As a rule, I do not put much stock into new year resolutions. As a rule, I rarely reflect back on the year we are leaving or look much into the year we are about to begin. Generally speaking I simply ...

Insomia...

O! Cruel mistress, you have me in your frigid grasp! Mike is asleep. I kind of hate him for it. Everyone is asleep. It's just me and the cat, roaming the house at all hours of the night. I used to lov...

I think I’m coming unraveled...

I spilt vodka on a ball of yarn. It seemed a fitting way to begin this. I'm coming a bit unraveled. Just around the edges, a thin fraying that isn't necessarily evident right away. Sometimes it take...

I’m horrible at updating...

So it's been a coons age since I updated this thing. Again. I do that. I have two other journals I update regularly or semi-regularly, it makes it hard to remember to do this one regularly. Here's wha...

The Kooks

When I first heard "Naive" I fell in love with Luke Pritchards charming vocals and gorgeous head full of curls. I wasn't expecting to like the whole album though. I expected it to be an album of songs...

Missing friends

I was just mentioning to a friend of mine today that I had messaged someone on MySpace a few weeks ago asking about a mutual friend. They haven't returned the message, which I took to mean that they a...

Update Schmupdate

So, here's the deal: I love my job. It's stressful in new and fun ways, different than any job I've done and so much fun it's unreal that I get paid to do this. I love love love the boy I work with in...
