I am here for Friends

About Me

It took me 8 years to finish college because of my listlessness. Currently I work at a nonprofit, which is swell as hell. For fun, I like to play derby and knock gals over, 'cause I'm a member of the Minnesota Rollergirls. I don't have a favorite color per se. I am prone to breaking into song without prior notice. Generally, I like stuff that is cool.

My Interests

Roller-Skating and derby in general (MNRG, specifically team Rockits!). Painting, photography, cooking, reading stuffs, red wine, translating manga, singing real loud in my car, video games, kitty-cats.

My Blog

Thump Thump Caw! Caw! Thump

I think something died on the roof directly above of my apartment. All I can hear is the squawking of crows and the repeated pecking of beaks that sound like so many tiny hammers.
