Come on in, I'll put on a pot of Bourbon.

About Me

Malicious obedience: "The opposite of civil disobedience. A quiet protest of company policy in which employees go through the motions of doing their jobs but intentionally accomplish nothing."

My Interests

I like to play, and that ends up being whatever seems fun at the time. I don't really have an interest I stick with. I have social ADD. :-) I like trucks and all that goes with them (except the $$ you have to invest to make them cooler). I like going to aquarium shops with James and picking out new and weird things for the tanks. I like to curl up in a chair and read trashy novels. I like to plan things but only if that involves making some spreadsheets.I like to snuggle with the kitties and watch TV. I like to harrass the dogs and take them to Niles park so they can play in the water. Mostly I like to kick it with friends, hang out and chat & laugh over a cocktail or two.

I'd like to meet:

I have enough friends! Don't even bother!
