I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'll adore you if you ignore me. If you pinch me, I'll bite you. My wit may astound or crush you...depending on your point of view. Lately, I've been working on improving my shit-talking while shooting pool; I'm told it's the hustler vernacular thats key to playing well. I'm a library bitch; it feeds my habit...WorldCat is my free shopping spree, if ya know what I mean. Through all of my misadventures, I do believe that in the world in my head, Ophelia has finally been revived. If there were a biographical film made of my life, it would be entitled "The Restless Goldfish". I tend to take things to the extreme, which, coupled with my implusivity, often causes fairly erratic behavior on my part. Animals come before humans on a list of my personal preferences for friends. Comfort to me is a crowd of boisterous, drunken, hedonistic sweat-ridden partiers in a club downtown; or a cup of coffee and a cigarette.....Myspace Backgrounds

Dont Get too Comfortable

Fear was forever my four letter word. For so long, I bowed to it, a shining star of obedience; my life bent around appeasing the beast. What if, what if I can't, what should I do, what'll he do? I ...

Scarf Happy

My new winter scarf is a good 7ft long and 16inches wide.  As I put it on, I count the number of times it circles my head. One, around the head, two, around the neck, three, around the neck ...

All for One and One for....honesty?
