I am here for Friends

About Me

Just a gal living in Pittsburgh. I'm happily married to my beshert and I'm a mommy to one very cute and very smart little girl. I used to be "cool" (played guitar/sang backing vocals in a band, was heavily into the goth/industrial scene, traveled to shows all the time, did things most people wouldn't...both good and bad) but now I'm slowly turning into a soccer mom and I'm kinda boring....oh but the stories I could tell ;P
Other than the whole mommy thing my life consists of video games, road trips, computers, horror movies, and 'teh tubes of teh omg internets'. Really, I'm a nerd when it comes right down to it.
