About Me

Hmmm, let's see. I like to think I'm pretty easy to get along with, but if you don't think so, bite me. See? Isn't that easy to get along with? I love to read, listen to music, you know, the usual. I'm a city girl stuck in the sticks. I love to learn. I'm married and I have two babies, but I will never buy a minivan or a SUV. God help me, we bought a minivan. But at least I stocked it with some cool music. All the other mommies listen to the Wiggles, I listen to the Stones and David Bowie. Take that, suburbia! I can never describe myself.Wow, that last line looks like it deserves to be in a deodorant commercial.I have diverse tastes in literature, music and films, and I cannot abide snobs who classify people according to the way they dress or what they listen to, read, or watch. Everyone's different.I am a "qualified" makeup artist, but right now I am the dreaded SAHM. Don't worry, I promise not to run you down with my stroller. Or to shriek, "Won't somebody please think of the children?" Unless I don't like you. Then I will run you down with my stroller and stomp your fingers with my chucks.Myspace Backgrounds

Happy birthday to me!
