About me:
I tend to think, talk, and write stream of consciousness, and my MySpace page is really no exception...
I've tried to organize it at least a bit.
I like smart women...
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?
- Anais Nin
I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want.
- Sylvia Plath
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
- Dorothy Parker
I recently learned how to make moving gifs, and I'm obsessed with it. I especially love it when it goes with the music on the page. Yeah, I'm easily entertained.
A List of Facts:
I was kicked out of Sunday school at age 4.
I am very afraid of sharks, though I live in Illinois and swim only in pools or lakes.
I was the 7th grade city spelling champ.
I was the 8th grade class checkers champ.
I topped out in 8th grade.
I've been married forever.
My old personal webpage was big in Finland for whatever reason.
I'm currently directionless.
Various stuff I love (in no particular order)...
Making stuff
I make hair accessories (for girls, teens, and women), jewelry, thumbtacks, magnets, pins, bookmarks, and whatever else comes to mind. I don't really expect to make any money off of the things I sell. I'll be happy just to cover the cost of the materials, so that I can keep making things.

Art
Making people laugh when I can
Links to some of my older blogs, back when they were actually somewhat funny)
I'm relatively new to painting, but I enjoy it immensely. I've messed around for years with making collages and doing abstract drawings (mostly trees, landscapes, multi-colored circles and whatnot). Natasha Wescoat put all those things together beautifully and made me want to start doing something creative again.

Sorry if I have a TWISTED sense of humor. This is an obnoxious attempt to get more blog subscribers. Basically just taking a break from writing my novel. Hope it interests you.
Check out my free read! How To Lose A Demon in 10 Days. It’s optimized for reading on your cell or Blackberry. Or even better for those of us with short attention spans. J
Smutty Mephistophelean contracts, Russian Mobsters, a woman scorned and one sexy, snarky Crown Prince of Hell makes for a good time!
