About me:
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.

Hi there Quinn! Thanks for the add, I really appreciate it.

So you're writing a novel for NaNoWriMo? Neat! I know quite a few people who do that every year, and I think it's just great. Good luck with it!

Aww, you have a cute profile. :)
