About Me

Two scientists were racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of them side by side
So Determined...
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans with wives and children
Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope
Forging for the future
But to sarcrifice their lives
Both of them side by side
So determined...
Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans with wives and children
Theirs is to win
It will kill them
They're just humans with wives and children
The lyrics above are from a wonderful Flaming Lips song titled "Race for the Prize." Fitting...
Details about me:
I reside in downtown Wilmington, NC with my male tabby cat, Penelope. I've been in North Carolina since June 2007, and am particularly fond of the warm winters one experiences along the southeast coast. I get frequent migraine headaches, which is a complete pain in the ass (and head).
There's probably more to me than is written here, and if you know me, you can probably validate (or invalidate) that claim. If you don't know me...well, I guess myspace is yet another vehicle in which to do so.
