About Me

Reason 101 Keith Olbermann is my boyfriend...I’m finally starting to realize what it means to live up to the proclamation so boldly shouted from my left shoulder.I’ve been told I have a “shiny” personality and it made me happy.I am very, very silly and will tapdance drunk in your bathroom if the urge strikes.I no longer believe in God, but rather, in cosmic energy, a greater human connection beyond that which can be readily sensed, and in a collective unconscious.I love my job and am lucky to work with my best friends, who I found at exactly the right time.I can bake my ass off, but do not cook anything, ever…really, never. I eat Cheerios A LOT.I’m uber leftist.I love Slayer, The Jackson 5 and everything in between.Hateful speech actually frightens me and I become quite frustrated with people who refuse to extend their perspective past that of their own narrow experience.I delight in words.I devour books.I engage in intellectual pursuits for enjoyment.I forget I’m only 5 foot tall.I have a fire and passion which will always find its way out.I find great joy in everyday life, even in my darkest times.I love hugs.If there are people dancing, I’m one of them.If someone means a lot to me, I make sure to say it often. I find that if strangers are put off by my tattoos, my dimples help.If I had to be vegetation, I’d choose to be a tumbleweed.
