In short

  • I am quite often an attempted novelist, sometimes a photoshop artiste, occasionally a filmmaker, and always a shower singer. In junior high, I wore the same ratty black platform boots every day and thought that was okay. I have probably seen the Don Bluth's Thumbelina fifty times, and Amelie more. I find alliteration extremely exciting. I once walked at least four miles through Kumamoto, Japan without any shoes. I make famously good cheesecake.
    My dearest ambition is to run away to Tampa and become a Weeki Wachee mermaid.

  • In the future I will save Norway from certain doom using only a rubber band and a full set of Dixie Chicks albums.
