I've been a backyard wrestler/referee, college rollerhockey player at every position and a professional graphic designer. Now I'm working in newspapers, freelance writing on the side and a roller-derby referee in-training. I've been in the Quad-Cities for more than a year and a half, and it's slowly growing on me like a cheap suit made of fungus. I've met some amazing people since I've been here, but I haven't forgotten about the amazing people I've left behind.

Who I'd like to meet:
I've been lucky in that I'm meeting more and more people. So I'd like to keep that streak up. I'm becoming less of a hermit. Thank you, Quad-Cities. Jorge Luis Borges, Jim Morrison, Gandhi in the afterlife. John Densmore, Al Jorgenson and Steve Yzerman in this life.

Oo Merc found a picture of a happy pocket creature like mine! It is true - they are always anticipating your needs (which consist of playing with them and feeding them ... and letting them crawl all over you).

Hey, how come you always there for a little while, then silently slip away ... like some crazy comic book creature hero or something. Huh?? Where did you go? And how do you go so sneakily? Always?

Oh, and I have decided on grad schooling in Creative Writing. It will at least buy me some time to make some monies before I have to pay them all back ;) Figured I'd tell you.

I should have written a letter. Fuck letters.
