Books
Natural Capitalism, the eye, biomimicry, biographies of independent eccentric women, georges bataille, anais nin and sylvia plath (when I was 21), history books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, how-to manuals, subtitles, captions. i do not read self help books- don't recommend them to me. I am comfortable in my madness. comic books, I've been young and read an exhaustive list of the classics a cultured, renaissance woman should ingest. Got a lot of contemporary books I need to hit. I've moved on to short stories at the moment. I am happily unemployed- unable to sit still for too long. Panic ensues. Naturally, facts of all kind fascinate me at this moment.
Heroes
my father, Tommy Mills, is the most amazing man in the world. And, my cats. They put up with me, unconditionally. Margaret Sanger for saving me from ever getting knocked up.

About me: small business owner cum laude. I am also a pilates instructor. I enjoy nesting in my farmhouse, gardening, comics, comic making, whatever i feel like doing. Afternoon rock in the mornings with my cats. i tell corny jokes and i use the phrase 'by the by' a bit too often. 2 chicks and a broom, the biz i started and now some rockin bff's have taken over. i enjoy weekend trips to small towns, big cites, other countries and water parks. I love my family. My bestest friends know who they are. If you know me, keep my wiles under wraps or I will get medieval on your ass. I feel like I'm in a mid-to-the-mid-life-crisis. I'm sure it's just a phase, right? I can speak french when I'm in France and should have three minors along with my major, but, some weren't offered. Poo! If you are an escapist like me and can read a subway and/or street map, call me when I'm stressed or unhappy and I will probably leave with you by plane or car.
Who I'd like to meet: Margaret Sanger, Lenny Bruce, Flannery O'Connor, Paul Poiret, Tom Ford, Grisham from CSI:Miami and Detective Robert Goren from Law and Order, Officer Jimmy McNulty from The Wire, all dangerous muses and real men with their own creative endeavors in motion.
