About Me

As a small child I always wanted to be an pop star, singing idol of millions. Of course, I also wanted to be a fairy princess and ride my magical unicorn across a rainbow to my enchanted castle in the sky. As I grew up, I eventually came to acknowledge the reality that I would never be able to achieve these dreams. And so I immersed myself in the reality of day to day life, trying to take solace in the small victories of home and career.And yet, still, I was unfulfilled. Why did I let those dreams die so easily? So what if I'm not Brittany or Gwen. Don't I have anything to say?So, as the old song goes, I picked up a guitar, and I learned how to play. I found a willing audience and started performing live. Maybe I'm not selling out stadiums yet, but I'm living the dream in some small way.I'm still working on the fairy princess part...

I made a comic strip!

I made this comic strip at http://stripgenerator.com/strip/47786/ . I really only know how to express relationships in terms of work. (I'm the blonde one that looks like a nun.)
