She was just trying to express myself!

About Me

I went to college for photography and women's studies and graduated with a BFA in May 2006. I'll let you know when I figure out how to make that work for me.
"Maybe it's time to stop not doing what you pretended you can do and can't, and start doing the thing that you can't do, but can no longer pretend that you can."
-Jerri Blank
"Whatever makes you laugh has worth, I think." -Paul Dinello
"It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself."
--Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique, 1963
"But existing is basically all I do!" -Phillip J. Fry
“Let me tell you a little story. I had a painting hanging in a gallery once and it was viciously censored. Nobody bought it, not even when I slashed the price! I was so disgusted I pulled it from the gallery and donated it to the Crab Shanty restaurant and you know something, they censored me as well! When I went there for a bucket of hush puppies, it wasn't hung prominently. No Jerri, if this was an isolated incident I would say maybe. But they did they same thing to my novel, my collection of poetry and my sportswear line. Don't you see what's happening Jerri? They're trying to censor me again by censoring you.” -Geoffrey Jellineck
"I may not be much, but I’m all I think about." -Jerri Blank

My Interests

Paul Dinello , Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert; Art of all varieties; reading a plethora of books; feminism and all its aspects; feminist art; women's studies; My Little Pony; making fansites about gay art teachers; thinking about wanting to paint; the internets; reading; hiding from the real world; making queer crafts (sometimes but not always involving googly eyes, pom-pom fringe and rick rack) and watching excessive amounts of teevee.
I enjoy the comedic stylings of: Demetri Martin, John Hodgman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Margaret Cho, Janeane Garofalo, David Cross, Brian Posehn, Sarah Silverman & about a million other awesome people

I'd like to meet:
