To everyone: I've had trouble reading and sending messages on here for about a month. So I hope no one feels unnecessarily snubbed. Maybe Tom can fix it... Re: me. By night, I fight crime, making small editorial changes to signs in my neighborhood, and generally battling evil. Then, in the morning, I head to work, where I'm a copywriter. I read manuscripts and write summaries on the backs of books. (You may have read some of my blurbs.) It can be fun, especially with the romances, classics, Western p0rn, and cookbooks. But other ones, like carbooks and inspirational books, are not so fun. After work, I'm involved in a dance troupe and we practice, take lessons, and perform often. It's fun and good exercise. When I realized what life would be like with four more years of Bush, I freaked out and started working with United for Peace and Justice (of Aug 29 march fame) some weekends. Things I love: Smoochie's ice cream, dogs (and my dog in particular), fat babies, free concerts in the summer, strappy sandals, Eric Clapton (1970-1980 and 1990-present, but not in-between), veil dancing (part of bellydancing), good spellers... I can move each of my toes individually. I get some free cable at my new apt but haven't told them yet. My dog, One-Eyed Clyde, is somewhat of a racist. I've been to India and Kenya but not to Chicago. Things I don't love: mint, spearmint, wintermint, wintergreen, peppermint, and especially that neon green mint gum.
