I have a big heart. I'm equal parts homebody and social butterfly, but sometimes one side wins out bigtime. I talk a lot but am a really good listener. I can be shy sometimes too (for real). I like writing, cupcakes, babies, Boggle, green tea, fuzzy sweaters, dirty minds, glitter, comedy shows, fishnets, lipstick, platform shoes, cheesy movies, giving backrubs, entering contests, greeting cards, and reading. I'm a bigger nerd now than I've ever been and I've got the t-shirt to prove it. I'm 31 but more often feel about 13. I wear jeans (my one pair) running errands on the weekends but other than that, I wear skirts or dresses.
I'm scared of cars. I have a terrible poker face. I'm very competitive, even (or especially) when I'm playing Wii. I love babies and look forward to being a MILF someday relatively soon (while I can still have kids!). I run a reading series but get stage fright and butterflies in my stomach every time I step up to a mic. My worst vice is that I drink several liters of Diet Coke every single day. That, and hardcore procrastination. I'm dreaming of a vacation on a sunny beach. All the time. I love warm days, long walks across bridges from one borough to another.
I work out at Crossfit NYC (also see their MySpace page ) with Allison five times a week. Getting my ass kicked is fun! I can do back squats with 155 pounds and am getting stronger every day. Highly recommended.
Perhaps a non sequitor, but then again, my life seems to be a non sequitor, I'm also the founder and co-editor of the blog Cupcakes Take the Cake.

I'm a compulsive writer yet I always feel like I have more to say. I write a sex column for The Village Voice am an ex-Village Voice columnist and run an erotic reading series every third Thursday of the month, amongst many other freelance projects. And I'm a writer, editor, and blogger.
Watch me play Ms. Pacman at SXSW:
I am a proud supporter (read: payer of overdue fees) of the New York Public Library. I'm writing my first novel, Everything But..., for Bantam, and hope to write a nonfiction book about sexual politics at some point too, but one thing at a time.I'm a writerholic (I just coined that word), a bit too compulsive about my bylines, but I'm working on trying to relax and take vacations and still do everything I want to do. And laugh more often.
My latest anthology is Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women, published by Seal Press, and it has its very own blog. You'll find interviews with the contributors and lots more there.
