Creative Artsy Fartsy Roller Derby Poet Girl

About Me

I am a writer, performer, teacher, event planner and owner of cats. Web designer, middle child, traveler, pub manager, Weight Watcher, and all around groovy chick. I'm now a member of the Dagger Dolls - the most excellent Minnesota Roller Girls derby team! I hope to one day visit New Zealand. I hope to someday actually have a job working in the creative arts (hire me! hire me!). I'm an aquarius...so I like to think things will work out in the end...you know, world peace and all that crap.

My Interests


Travel, writing, poetry, roller derby, poetry slams, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, cats, funny animal pictures, white chocolate, roller skating, sexy accents, publishing, performing, coffee shops, espresso, art, Frank O'Hara, abstract expressionism, painting, Weight Watchers

I'd like to meet:

People in a position to hire artistic people for full time jobs with benefits (a girl can dream!) People that have been looking for an opportunity to be a beneficiary to an artist. People who think that one of the best ways to spend a Saturday morning is at the roller skating rink rocking quads. People who think I'm awesome. Cute red heads.The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!
