Quiet Voice with a Loud Mind

About Me

I would describe myself as being an ambivert because I need to be social as much as I need solitude. It is a tough balance to achieve. Also, I like to practice belly dancing in elevators if no one else is around, send prank letters to friends, read voraciously, and write poetry when the muse kicks me in the butt...which isn't often. I think I'll have to fire my muse.

Currently, I am working toward another Bachelor's degree, this time in IT. Outside of that, I am taking belly dance lessons, writing for Whistling Shade, trying to keep my pets in line, spending time with my boyfriend and friends, and reading when I can. Coffee helps with me keep my momentum. Someone once said that the world does not exist without coffee. I think I believe her.


You scored as Industrialist, Industrial Music grew out of the experimental German "noise" of the late 70's and early 80's with such bands as Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubauten leading the way. The strange "fusion of man and machine" is the basis for all Industrial music, which leads to a huge genre with such disparate bands as >1 (GTO), Frontline Assembly, Coil, Skinny Puppy, Das Ich, and Stromkern being lumped together in the same category.

Scorpio Birthdays

A few of my favorite people are/were born on October 27th. They are Sylvia Plath, Dylan Thomas, John Cleese, and Maxine Hong Kingston. I think that is sort of interesting.
