About Me

I wear a lot of different hats. I'm a single mom. I'm a career-minded woman. I'm a social butterfly. I'm a Democrat. I'm an atheist. Et cetera.

My Interests

Texas Hold'em, Hello Kitty, dancing, science, technology, proper grammar, art, sewing, knitting, cooking, yoga, working out, prime numbers, crossword puzzles, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Cranium, reading: non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, The Nation

I'd like to meet:

Maybe you... maybe someone else. I'm not a snob. I want to meet everyone (mostly). For any potential stalkers, I tend to spend my Saturday nights at Shattered. You might also find me at Coffee Zone occasionally after work. I really do like meeting all sorts of people, but please, no psychos.
