Salutations from the other side

About Me

Nice. Warm sense of humor. Kind of quiet.

My Interests

I like to write amazing lists about the wonderful and fantastic things I will probably never accomplish. I tend to write stories that I never seem to finish. And I draw pictures that never quite turn out the way I want. Well, expect for the time I painted that "Cannibal Teddy Bear". That was just pure perfection. It came out exactly the way I dreamed.

Books:

I'm addicted to Alice in Wonderland and Fairy tales. I'm fascinated by crazy worlds and twisted monsters. I'm all about Little Red Riding Hood spitting on the grave of the Big, Bad Wolf.

Gordon from "Sesame Street", Mac from "Night Court", Doctor Who, and Alice in Wonderland. (Yeah, it's all about open-mindedm intelligent, non-sterotypical Black role models and a calm english girl who encounters absolute madness yet stays sane. I respect and strive for such things.) And I love the mad, crazy/calm rebellion of Doctor Whos (especially the new one)
