***now, on to the show....***
I'm a 27 year old female, standing 6'1" instead of 5'2"... (liz says to say it's really 5'6", but who's counting?) who just landed the most awesome job ever for an online poker company...
And here's the generic stuff about not stalking poker sites and peoples... I graduated from UC Berkeley so I'm forever going to be a stinky hippie in a lot of people's eyes, and I'll be a sore in the side of my guidance counselor's conscience... "Oh sure honey, there's a LOT you can do with a degree in English!" ::grin:: But I'm not bitter; I got to spend years just READING!! and wasting financial aid on building a computer and taking side trips to Vegas for the long weekends.
So I miss it, though I am loathe to debate deconstructionism these days, and would rather catch a new book by Neil Gaiman (or an old one by Octavia Butler) instead. I fell into an accidental love of sci fi literature, and *especially* like those that prominently display multi-racial characters (I like to see myself represented in popular culture, and sci fi has a knack of doing it and doing it well). And who couldn't love ender?
I also have a soft spot for Japanese writers, and postmodern Americans as well. Thomas Pynchon ran off with my heart to Vineland... I'm sure it's *oscillating* under a stony bridge waiting for me to find it.
I've also been known to clear the *adult* section of any male broswers at my fav local comic shop (Comic Relief), as I look for any issues of Bondage Fairies that may be missing from my collection. Except Vol. 13, that one's just wrong.
I won't be visiting myspace anymore -- so if you want to find me, about me, about GamesGrid Poker-- trip on over to my blog at http://www.asiak.net. Thanks!

Still laughing my ass off...

Okay, so lately I'm way into reading about online poker-- about what's going on in the legal world (WTO, wire act, No Dak, etc) and other lifestyle/general interest online gaming stuff. That's in addi...

Insular football and wiki-emo

I am so unhip. Not in the "dorks rule!" anti-coolness cool (it was as fun to type as it is to say, try it!) but like wearing socks and flipflops unhipness. Like, when you're 16 and you're with your mo...

Crispy/juicy mystery, john titor, and poker dreams.

So trying to be a well adjusted human being who leaves her house on a regular basis and doesn't have an adversarial relationship with the sun, I decide it's high time to get out to the local farmers m...
