About me: I live a life of fabulosity and glamour...in my head. The reality is far grimmer. For instance, I just moved back in with the mother! It's only temporary, but still. The horror! However, it is in anticipation of hopefully getting a job out of the country in the next few months, so glamour and fabulosity could be within reach.
I majored in theatre, I'm working as an editor, and in the future I'd love to use the linguistics double major I would have done if I had taken a linguistics class before my last year in college. Oh, life.
I kind of live for music. Check out the ol' last.fm for my occasionally shameful listening habits.
Who I'd like to meet: Michael Palin. Emperor Norton I. Audrey Hepburn. Eddie Izzard. The Dalai Lama.
Oh, here. Well, then. People. People I know, for the most part, or people I used to know. I'm not really here to make new friends, but it's not out of the question.
Anyway, do say 'allo if you think you know me.
Thank you so much for looking me up! It is so good to hear from you and see how you are doing! I'm in Indonesia right now! Its funny being somewhere where the only way to communicate is the internet! And there are a lot of mopeds and palm trees.
You know that my heart would break into a million pieces if I came back to the hellhole that is the Tri Cities and you were not there. No pressure. =) Muuuuahhh!!
Okay, so a reunion is happening for Liberty in August. Please tell me that you will go so that my trip there will be worthwile. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you!!!!!!!
I see you silly girl! Just got done reading your post. Hm, things seem to be up in the air for the future. Generally speaking. =) Me too. Lady, I can't find childcare for my little monkey AT ALL in Seattle. This is ridiculous. I have turned down work already because I don't know what to do. AHHHHHHHHHH!! (Sorry for the rant in your comments. That was rather rude.) LYLAS! (Ha, 8th grade. So sad. )
