Writer. Reader. Inadvertent cheater of death. Your favorite reluctant heroine with too much eyeliner on. Former violinist and singer-songwriter. Current poet. Blog keeper extraordinaire. Proficient at profanity. Human services masochist. Mother of 2 children and 1 little white high maintenance floof. Survivor of the Badlands of my youth--with the dark humor to prove it. Terminally in love with what the world has to offer. Owner of a strong sense of morbidly morbid curiosity. I love Victorian Gothic, whimsy, Asian office supplies and indie bands no one else is into.
