About
I am: a lifelong New Yorker who planned for many years to leave the city as soon as possible, but has recently grown to like it here; a product of non-schooling and eventual GED recipient who graduated college with honors and without arbitrary gestures; a freelance writer/editor and ESL teacher; a skeptic, a cynic, and an optimist.
My cat is: naughty -- but I love him anyway.
I'm enjoying Virb so far, and it's probably safe to say that I create more Virb groups during a single commercial break of House than most people do all day. Join them -- or else.
Also, I'm happy to receive random friend requests -- but I do prefer it when there's a message attached. (Please?)

David paid me perhaps the best and most dubious compliment I've ever received: "You are an avatar of Holden Caulfield."

Thank you! I thought the wordplay (if you can call it that) was a little... I don't know how to say it, but it sorta looks like I'm trying too hard to be clever. But thanks for the nice feedback! You back for good?

Hey there Alex! I miss having you around. Hope you are ok - virb really is a duller place without your input (and did I ever tell you that it was your influence that started me off with making all those groups? - now you know who to blame...)
