Not lost, just unlocated.

About Me

I'm in graduate school. I have a job. I went to boarding school in Muncie, Indiana. Then I went to college in Rochester, New York, studied abroad in Arezzo, Italy, and transferred to IU-Bloomington. I moved to Chicago after college. Oakland, Berkeley after that. Now I'm getting to know Texas. Or at least part of it. Almost ready to give up predicting the future, though I have deduced that it will probably involve more reading, finishing my degree, and moving somewhere new. I hope to make my fortune publishing my comic series: The SuperSpecial Adventures of Miss Information and Pocketsize, Featuring Lil' Baby Pancakes.

My Interests

walks at night, trash, wind, going out for breakfast, peeing with the door open, blue jeans, rock 'n roll, attending functions, moping in the corner, guilting you out of feeling guilty, water, chewing gum, that Mr. T movie that everyone keeps raving about, cats chasing tails, your mom

fiction for fun

In the desert, I found my greatest disappointment. I wanted it to be all blinding blue and stinging orange. Dust in the lungs and smoke and cough and heartless laughter. It was those things, yes. B...
