About Me




Hm... so what about me... The short and simple version is: I'm the most punk rock anti-capitalist animal-loving vegan rivethead you'll meet. ;)
I also love music... music and writing are my life... I love the arts.
I'm currently hard at work on a graphic novel (writing only). For lack of a better genre tag: splatter/horror/psychological drama. I may have hooked a really fantastic artist already... I better start writing, eh? ;)
I create synthetic dread falls and cyber/goth/post-apocalyptic fashions under the name DireLOX. Want work done? Message me.
I create original clothing designs when I have the space... unfortunately, I can't do a lot of it right now, so my little machine is gathering dust. Sorry, but hair is about the only thing I can do until I get my own workroom.
I'm looking to hook up with a handful of other vegan artists by August of 2008 to rent a house with in Seattle. I live with meat eaters at the moment and it's hard for me. If you fit the bill, message me and we'll discuss. :)
I've recently come out of a not-so-good situation that had me cooped up and antisocial for a good while. I'm kind of new to Seattle and just barely starting to go out and explore now that I am finally free. I love to explore new places and meet new people, and Seattle is proving an endless well of interesting things to keep me occupied.
Else you wish to know about me... well I'm a complicated girl! There's lots to me... just talk to me, I'm pretty friendly, and I only bite if you ask nicely. ;)

Cory- the sweetest, most sincere & beautiful person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I <3 you, hippie. ;P

Anyone know anything about tropical freshwater fish diseases?

Hey everyone...My pride and joy, David Bowie the betta fish, is seriously ill, and nothing I do seems to help him. I noticed five or six days ago that he was acting a lot more lethargic than usual, re...

David Bowie gets a bigger bowl.
