I am here for Networking

About Me

I often fantasize about being an overweight drag-queen named DivIne. That way, I could be outrageous & sassy, get away with vocalizing my bitchy thoughts, and yell phrases like "ooooo girl!" and "holla!" without sounding like a douche.

My Interests

Stand-up Comedy, cooking, oil-painting, jazzercise.

I'd like to meet:

Those not inclined to dochebaggery.

Music:

I hate Enya. Which, according to my friends, means I hate inner peace.

Movies:

"ENOUGH!" ~ j-lo

Television:

Dead Like Me, Firefly, Dexter, Freaks and Geeks, Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Books:

Christopher Moore, Jasper Fforde, 80s lesbian erotica (shoulder pads are kinda my thing)

My Blog

SHE probably won’t bite us

A couple of lost tourists frantically asked me for directions in the Tenderloin (the crackhead enclave). I was so flattered, like "oh my god, you guys think I’m the ONLY normal looking person o...
