Sin is in...and so we begin.

About Me

I have lived in eight cities in seven years. Homeless people tend to attempt to befriend or kill me. I was once fondled by Keith Richards. I drove a 1991 Chevy for almost fifteen years, and I miss it terribly. I used to sing opera. Little kids think I'm hilarious. Once upon a time, I was a timid,blonde,bespectacled private school girl, and now I am a drunken, foul-mouthed, black- haired, pierced,tattooed freak...However, I am still a card-carrying dork. I, for one, am pleased at my progress. I am attempting to be both a respected psychoanalyst and a dirty little burlesque suicide girl.
