I'm allergic to bullshit. And zombies. Bullshit and zombies, those are my listed allergies.
I have about a million hobbies and there's a lot I want to learn still but some of my proven favorites are dancing, plants, good books, good music, knitting, critters, reading, singing, sushi, other tasty foods and desserts, writing,
Clumsily strumming...

Mysterious strangers
I'm really good at being honest. I don't know what the point of MySpace is anymore. I thought it might be a conduit for meeting people, but it seems more and more that people aren't interested in talking to someone they don't already know and I think that may also be true for me. If you have something substantive to say then please say hi (note: this requires that you know what "substantive" means). Otherwise... I don't know what the "otherwise" is, but I think it means, "if not, then fuck off."Goodnight, and thank you.

She's not 'supposed' to be able to fight back. She's 'supposed' to quake in her stylish-yet-affordable boots as the bad nasties eat her soul, but in the end she's the one kicking ass, taking names, and saving the world. With her friends.Buffy Anne Summers (a.k.a.: Buffy the Vampire Slayer):
"The past few days there have been a lot of people talking at me. Everybody's just lined up to tell me how unimportant I am and I've finally figured out why: Power. I have it, they don't. This bothers them...and I'm fairly certain I said, 'No interruptions.'"
