About Me

Be sure to put "Dagger Dolls" in the "add a personal note" field so we know you're a Dolls fan.

I'm finally giving in to the lure that is MySpace. What else to say? Dunno really. Ask my friends!

Well how about this. I'm obviously a derby girl and love my Dagger Dolls . And I do a lot of other stuff too, like working on my own doing design and development (which makes me fully aware of how CRAP the MySpace interface is). I just started knitting this year and have made a very pretty lacy scarf and a cabled hat. My uber-knitting friend said I'm a prodigy. I read a lot, but mostly just when I'm on the bus which is not so much lately. I play broomball (decent) and snowboard (my own weird, fast way). I love to travel and recently went to Spain and Portugal. See my pics »

There, how's that for a start. If you want to know more, write to me. I just might respond.

My Interests

Be sure to put "Dagger Dolls" in the "add a personal note" field so we know you're a Dolls fan.

Roller Derby, skating (quad and inline), tennis, reading, broomball, knitting, and lots of other stuff that occupies my time.

I'd like to meet:

Fun, interesting people who have some legitimate connection to me or my interests. If you know you know me and I know I know you, you can just send a friend request. OTHERWISE: If you're not creepy or selling something, write to me first and I'll check out your profile. If you're in a band and I know you, go ahead and drop me a line but otherwise I'm just not interested.

Music:

Lots of it. Pretty much anything except modern country. Lately, loving Calexico+Iron & Wine and Sun Kil Moon doing the songs of Modest Mouse and I have a serious girl crush on Neko Case. I mean, with that voice how can you not? When I need to get fired up, some Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Joan Jett or any good old metal.

Movies:

No more late fees thanks to my renewal of Netflix. I probably won't make real good use of it, but at least I won't get pissed at the video store ever again.

Television:

Project Runway addict. The Daily Show. Beyond that, whatever catches my eye at the moment.

Books:

Currently Guns, Germs, and Steel (I don't know if I'll ever finish it...) and The Confessions of Max Tivoli.

Heroes:

Candi Pain and Barbie Brawl . My mom (I'm a softie on the inside).

Stephen makes it simple

I saw this episode and thought this was about as non-cheeky as Colbert has ever been. You can kinda tell he's barely containing his rage. I love it... width="425" height="350">..>...
