About Me

she could tell a story, but it would be a lie in that it would end. there are a lot of things she has been doing for a long time, and a lot of things she has been doing for a short time, a few things she just started yesterday and god knows how many things she will soon do and become. all have always, do now and will continue to define her. she has sat here for at least fifteen minutes while she should be in the shower trying to think of a list of these things, but hasnt come up with anything that seems definitive enough. shed like to think that through active and honest interaction and engagement, all will reveal itself in its time. think what you already know: she sings, she writes, she reads, she might feel compelled to refer to herself in the 3rd person. just now she thought of yet another great idea for a t-shirt.the point is, I got tired of the old bio, and now Im tired of writing in 3rd person. if you want to know anything about why I sing or where I came from, ask me.
