Someday you will die somehow and someone's gonna steal your carbon

About Me



They say lawschool kills your soul. They're wrong, it merely kills your social life. Pretty much what I do is study all the time. When I'm not studying, I'm usually bitching about studying. Otherwise, I collect vintage, I used to be an award-winning flute player and singer but I'm completely out of practice. I try to avoid being fat by working out at the gym. I mostly succeed. My boyfriend has reminded me that skiing is fun, and that it's like riding a bike in that you can quit for 13 years and get right back on the mountain. Also I will probably have to learn to golf.... When I have a life again, that is.

I recently retired from Thru the Keyhole Burlesque, go to their shows.
The website is Thru the Keyhole dot com (-click!). Or you can check the lovely ladies out on MySpace too, Thru The Keyhole (-click!).
