About Me

I graduated from UC in the spring of '05 with a degree in Women's Studies. I work as a quality analyst for a DSL tech support helpdesk. Do you see the connection? Don't they just seem to follow one after another so logically?
I hoop. When I say that, I mean I hoop a *LOT*. I am a fire performer. I knit. I burn. I read. I have been to Burning Man the last two years and plan to go again in 2010. I am a member of Incendium Arts, a fire performance troupe that will rock your brains out. I sing with a band called Chase the Fire. I love words: reading them, writing them, playing with them. I am a feminist, a "california granola femme," (which I don't so much totally agree with but Kai said it when we went to Ani and it made me happy and we laughed a lot so it's here for now. If there was a pic of me from that day you'd understand more.) I play RPGs; I can't deny my love of the sound of dice rattling across a table. I love to play cards; I've lost more nights to trump than you can remember. I am creepy-groovy, hippy-peacenik, laid back crazy.

in the heat of the night...

This whole crazy heat thing? Blech. I can only point so many fans at myself and take off so many clothes, even in my bedroom. Should be doing laundry right now, but the thought of trekking the the lau...

are we talking about storms?

I require something to occupy my attention right now, dammit. There's a storm rolling in - despite the fact that there is NOTHING near me on the radar right now - and I'm all full of energy. These sto...

questionable music from time to time...

Today on the way home from Anne's, I was hopping around through radio stations, being tired of my current CDs. And thus I heard, in a row, "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" by Rihanna, "Hips Don't Lie," by Shakira...

too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it

My inner DJ is hosting a trip down memory lane in my head. I can't lie, it's kind of disturbing when my semi-subconscious replays events back to me. It's said that scent is very strongly tied to memor...

binaries, labels, fuck 'em all

I understand on a certain level that people have this....need to classify. To define, to bring order to, in order to understand. But I have to say, I fucking hate labels. I hate them being applied to ...

It's weird to be blogging here instead of over at my LJ. But I must accept that for some reason, many perfectly wonderful people do not have the El Jay obsession and have thusly somehow come to this m...
