About Me

Fancy to see what I fancy? Here's my Amazon wish list .
Basic info (if you give a shit) about me, in list form. Because lists are easier to read:
- I am trusting to a fault, insecure, and sarcastic as your mom's tit.
- I have chronic "foot-in-mouth" disease.
- I spend a great deal of my time alone.
- I enjoy horror movies a LOT, networking with folks in the 'biz,' and hearing from all-around creative types.
- I am eight-hundred feet tall, and shoot laser beams from my nipples.
- People often confuse me with this girl .
- The previous statement is the foundation for Super Tromette Action Movie Go!
- I have seven tattoos, a weird love of old men, and the urge to consume anything with 'gummy' in the title.
- I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs (straight edge).
- I am very cheeky. Very. Cheeky.
- I make really stupid art .
- The sound of people eating potato chips really bothers me.
- I make puns every chance I get. Hooray for future dementia!
- My major in school is video game design. Seriously.
- I have a large collection of hoodies, and I wear them all.
- I work in a print shop, and play way too much on Photoshop.
- I'm a Tromette (anti-Tromette, really... no nudes here), and co-run the Troma Cafe Press store. Buy stuff!
I'd like to meet anybody and everybody. I'm a pretty easy person to get along with, as long as you're not a total dick. I tend to disassociate myself with those who play head games or aren't genuinely honest with me. I am straight-forward, so I only expect the same in return.
Words of wisdom from Mike Homeowner: "I don't play any more because I've found most musicians are stupid, and don't listen to answers that are given. That, and I found that full contact fighting is more satisfying than music... because instead of trying to act tough, I'd rather just hit somebody in the fucking face."

This is the craziest disease I’ve ever seen.

Have a stroke; gain an accent! Several rare cases of people having strokes caused them to acquire a foreign accent, when they have had no history of ever being in the place their accent originated, or...

Like... art.

So, I'm putting together a bunch of cartoons, which ultimately are being turned into art prints. They also double as tattoo designs, for those interested. Blah, whatever. In any case, the first couple...

"Blue Knight needs pot badly..."

I recently found this while looking for ways to not get agitated so easily over things. It's also something I should put into practice since I pretty much suck at every video game ever invented. It's ...

Things that salt my vegetables.

I'm feeling particularly saucy today, so I decided to draw up (or write up, rather) a list of things that frost my cookies of hatred. Okay, okay, I'm really pushing it with the food phrases. Meat me b...

Best unintentionally funny site I’ve seen in a while.

I got this random spam e-mail about being "prepared for man-made or natural disasters." While I'm waiting for the zombie apocalypse as much as the next gal, it just struck me as a really odd thing to ...
