I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Like most people, I have a job, friends, and various hobbies, but writing about them here seems kind of generic, so I'll steer clear. I've lived in Austin, Texas, for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. I'm a refugee from the east coast, where I grew up, and although I sometimes miss New England winters, I'm generally happy in Texas, despite the heat (and no, it's not all full of cowboys and cacti, despite popular belief).
If you're just dying to know more, you can check out my website , my blog , my jewelry , my gallery , or my photos .

*Ahem* I spend a lot more time on Facebook these days. You'd probably have better luck getting ahold of me there.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Aliens from another planet. Barring that, interesting people. Although I do have a request -- if you want to add me, please drop me a line first, to refresh my memory as to who you are, or why you're adding me, or whatever ulterior motive you might have. I'm not an unfriendly sort, really, but I do tend to keep this MySpace profile reserved for people I actually know (even if it's just via the internet).

My Blog

Big News!

I'm up early. Couldn't sleep very well. My mind's still spinning, I guess. I'll probably go crawl back into bed in a second, but I wanted to post the news. It's big enough to go in two blogs.Last nigh...

New Jewelry, and Big Thanks to Big Star Burlesque Babe, Sugar

I wanted to send out a very effusive "thank you!" to the lovely and patient Sugar Von Tassel of Big Star Burlesque fame. She let me come over to her house yesterday for a photo shoot, in which we stoo...

Best Feel-Good Video Ever!

I don't normally post videos and the like, but this one caught my attention. It's just so dang happy -- even if it kinda makes me teary-eyed, too. But in a good way. Give it a look!Where the Hell is M...

Firestarter

So I'm beginning to wonder if there's some old gypsy woman out there who's pissed at me. I've talked before about my "car curse," but now I'm beginning to wonder if I have another kind of curse on me:...

Fun in the Sun

No movie-related rants this time. Just wanted to chronicle the fun we had frolicking out at the lake yesterday. I've got the sunburn to prove it. It's not so bad, though. I'm pretty dedicated to the a...

Birthday This Friday!

In case everyone doesn't check their "upcoming birthdays" notices, mine's this Friday. So far I'm leaning toward just hanging out at the Hideout Pub -- it's a laid-back little bar owned by the same fo...

Jewelry-Peddling

I put some new jewelry up on my Astraea Designs page. And that got me to thinking. The chances of me managing to squeeze in some kind of show between now and Christmas are pretty slim, what with work ...

Telephone Rant

I've always preferred land-lines over cell phones. Cell phones come in handy, indubitably, but the sound quality isn't usually as good, and one of my favorite things is late night phone calls, loungin...
