About Me

I am a well of luck and goodness, or alternately, the vortex of evil and despair. Your choice!

My Interests

I like to read. I like to make things. Food things! fabric things! picture things! thingsthingsthingsthings I am interested in things! And other things! And yes, those things, too!

I'd like to meet:

you. But then it would all go terribly wrong. But then it would be ok again. And then it would be weird. But then ok again. And eventually neither of us would really care.
