Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Pink & Skulls
Cats (my cats rule my world), my niece (she rules with my cats--sort of a co-ruling thing), roller derby, reading weird stuff, finding out of the way and strange stores (especially bookstores) when on vacation--I'm not much into hitting tourist traps (although it happens), traveling when I can, libraries, general geekiness, trying to find an outlet for my activist yearnings, Bob and Tom, laughing (love comedies more than anything), reading magazines (especially Bust, Bitch and Ms.), writing (I've written several short stories and a novel, which I've done nothing with since I completed it). Love zines and read all kinds, from political to how-to to perzines. Always looking for bookstores/infoshops that carry them, which generally works out because those stores have the best books. :)

Eliot, Ezra Pound, Nicholas Basbanes. Harry Potter and the [fill in the blank with any seven of the titles]. Also The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death/SB and the Baconburg Horror by Daniel Pinkwater--love them as much now as I did in high school. I read a lot of feminist/cultural studies books, stuff on true crime and serial killers, books about books (history of books, history of bookstores, book collecting, libraries, etc), books about San Francisco. Also graphic novels and comics, primarily undergrounds, but any of an alternative, feminist, or leftist bent.
