I think I shouldn't flirt with a robot.

About Me

I make a living telling people they're wrong. When I'm done, they thank me for it. And I don't even have to leave my couch. How's that for a mutant super power? My apartment is filled with Disney collectibles, DC Comics action figures, comic books, wrestling toys, Qees, tokidoki stuff, and hundreds of books. My boyfriend and our cats are also here, somewhere amongst all that stuff. Whatever you heard about me, it isn't true. I'm actually very nice. Sometimes I even say thank you to automatic doors and elevators. But I will kick your ass at Scrabble. And hula-hooping. I'm the best hula-hooper you've ever met.

My Interests

Reading, writing, and rasslin. I like comic books! And cartoons! And lucha! YEAH!

There's no section for art on this thing, so I'm going to put it here. I felt like it was sorely missing from my profile...

Art: Mark Ryden, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Jeff Soto, Saiman Chow, Dave Stevens, Adam Hughes, Coop, Kozik, Kevin Maguire, Glenn Barr, Shag, Gary Taxali

I'd like to meet:

I only add people I actually know in real life, or people who make some attempt to get to know me. Please don't send me a friend request without a message, I'm not here to collect random people who I'm never going to talk to.

Music:

They Might Be Giants, Talking Heads, Abba, Tom Jones, David Bowie, The Ramones, The Clash, Britney Spears, Depeche Mode, Guns N Roses, Skid Row, The Smiths, Culture Club, Pet Shop Boys, Cab Calloway, Wesley Willis, Big Audio Dynamite, Man or Astroman, The Monkees, Elvis, Sinatra

Movies:

Battlestar Galactica, Simpsons, Family Guy, Lost, House, Rome, Arrested Development, The Shield, Scrubs, Futurama, Twin Peaks, Greg the Bunny, Smallville, Conan, Justice League Unlimited, The Office (both), Extras, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and any reality TV with a cruel twist.

Books:

Anything by Henry Miller, 1984, Notes from the Underground, Anything Michael Moore, As Nature Made Him, I dunno. Lots of stuff. I like cynical shit and sociological stuff. I mostly read non-fiction now since I have to read so much fiction for work. When I read fiction, it's usually fantasy. I read a lot of political stuff too, but too much makes me depressed.

Julie Newmar, Bettie Page, Tura Satana, Batman, Michael Moore, Keith Giffen, Gene Hackman, Bramlet Abercrombie

And this is far from the worst I’ve seen...

I'm currently editing a 90,000 word book by a guy who believes that gnomes and nymphs are real and that bats have no eyes. Those aren't tears streaming down my face. It's my brain liquefying. ...

Please look at my comments...

Specifically, the one from Digital Femme. I think it's important for you all to see how insanely fucking gorgeous Ioan Gruffudd is. Seriously. Look at him. He's like, painfully handsome. Yowza.

Buy me toys!

I just got an eToys catalog and I can't even believe what kind of amazing shit they have for kids today. I seriously had to put it down because I was getting sad that I couldn't have all these things....

A plan?

Now that I have a webcam, I think I should quit my job and start a website where I hula-hoop for money.

Heroes was so bad!

SO bad! Insultingly bad. Oh boy, love saves the world! Yeah, because that explosion isn't going to spread radiation throughout the atmosphere or anything. But the best was, "It doesn't matter how it's...

There are monkeys at the end of this post

In the last week, at least 5 people have asked me how I like San Diego. So here's the answer: I dig it. Downtown San Diego is compact enough that I don't have to drive, and the weather is great so I c...
