About Me

I am a short lady from a city that smells like beer and cheese and forgotten industry. I like to make puppet shows, videos, poems and friends. I do not like to make my bed. Sometimes I act. On rare occasions I sing. I've recently picked up a guitar and every day it teaches me humility. I believe in the power of community and the necessity of self-education. I dig spaces that empower people (especially youth) to make theatre and to revolt.

My friends are my family.

There are more connections I value deeply than can be rightly honored in some oddball Top 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 58...so enjoy some organizations and beings that I support fully.

Also, there are two of me .

My Interests

porkchops, peace

I'd like to meet:

- Huey Freeman at age 25 and single.

- Queer-friendly folks, please. Especially if you find MySpace orientation choices a bit um, limiting.

- The kind. The thoughtful. The intelligent. The emotionally available.
You know, the four horsepersons of the apocalypse.

- MySpace Tom. I would like to ask for my life back.

Home again.
