I've just graduated from Smith College with a degree in English and will eventually be a frustrated writer. I am from Texas and love Texas very much when I am not in it. I also love They Might Be Giants, Conan O'Brien, Sloan, U2, The Kids in the Hall, and puppies and kitties. I have two zines which are also on Myspace: Ephemera and Plaid Skirts & Converse (add them!). I'm pretty lousy about answering messages/comments, but I'm trying to work on that.
Who I'd like to meet:
Writers. TMBG fans. People who write about TMBG. Intellectual snobs. Tree-hugging vegetarian hippies. Feminists. Free-thinkers. Iconoclasts. Bleeding-heart liberals. Latter-day Beats. And cute girls are always good, hehe.
Hey Quinny happy Birthday Your Quarter-life is now over. So Sad. So new years eve Rachel and Me are going to get married. So wish us luck. Kisses peace out.
Bisexual? Fluid? Pansexual? Omnisexual? Hetroflexible or Homoflexible? or maybe you're more of the "no boxes please - I'm just me" type. How do YOU identify yourself?
