About Me

Cancel my subscription, I'm over your issues... I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an AWESOME rack.

i am, at times, meaner than penguins. i hate people, but i love gatherings. sometimes. i am fairly bitchy, often snarky and when i'm in the mood, quite opinionated. i'm never wrong, except for when i am, and that's rare. i am also the giver of shiny nickels, taker of blackmail pictures and keeper of all the ponies. when not slacking off, i'm rambling at popgurls.com

i'm tivo's bitch. and a slacker writer. and i really, really like iced tea.

and, like Willem, i want to see the sailboat.

My Interests

popgurls.com

I found the safest place to keep all our tenderness.
Keep all our bad ideas.
Keep all our hope.
It's here in the smallest bones, the feet and the inner-ear.
It's such an enormous thing to walk and to listen.
-- the weakerthans

I'd like to meet:

is there any way that I -- Mary Cherry -- could also become filthy teen trash like yourself?

and ira glass. i'm hopelessly smitten with "this american life."
done.
