About Me

It's ALL about me. Period.
You Are a Mermaid
You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else. What Mythological Creature Are You? What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
You will be sucked dry by a leech. I'd stay away from swimming holes, and stick to good old cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when your toe scrapes the bottom.

My Interests

Pink Flamingos. Airstreams. Men in women's clothing. Sheep in wolve's clothing. Oranges. Gerontology. Blog culture. Bringing an end to reality tv. Oligodendrocytes. Punctuation! Midget wrestling. Waxing nostalgic and nothing else.

I'd like to meet:

a painless end.

Music:

I love music! Poorly done music with big heart, well done music with no soul, banshee wails, babies crying, the squash of a melon... it's all music, all the time. To give my preferences for artists would be like opening my soul and letting in voyeurs and there are other parts of my anatomy so much better suited to that,no?

Movies:

I love movies! Currently I am revisiting all things JohnCusack, One Crazy Summer, Sure Thing, Better off Dead and his bit parts in JohnHughes classics... seriously, you can't go wrong there.

Television:

Television, once a passion, sadly has begun to confound and befuddle me. With the exception of a few gems (TheOffice, GilmoreGirls, VeronicaMars) I have nothing nice to say about it recently.

Books:

Books are good, too. But it's easier to list authors.

Heroes:

Copernicus, DIY-ers, librarians, 3rd grade teachers, burn victims, textile workers, my husband, adolescents, chimney sweeps, I have lots of heroes.

My Blog

Knockin' down houses and busting out the erector set.

Ahh.. the bone crunching sound of Christmas destruction! The house next door is almost gone. The men came with machines yesterday and ripped down the shingles and wallpaper and windows and walls. It ...

I am a Gemini, damn it!

Compulsions...

I check these websites too often: www.justjared.com It appeals to my trashy starfucker side, then I wash it down with www.gofugyourself.com Then to feel better about myself I visit www.npr.org wh...

Because Clair is so insistent

I am starting a blog. It may suck, in which case, blame Clair. It is all her fault. I was going to keep my sad ramblings to myself, but no- she had to get all bossy. So- whatever. (I hope it doesn't s...
