After a two years of wavering between malaise and ennui on MySpace, I thought I'd take the suggestion of Merlin Mann (my new hero this month) and join Virb. Hopefully this experience with not be fraught with petty high school antics and offers for sex from people with missing teeth.
I'm a total geek-girl, and the perfect day would consist of doing research on 50s furniture while listening to Mac Break Weekly and Smodcast, then catching pizza and a movie with my kiddo. I'm a hermit, and I refuse to go out until I meet someone more interesting than my computer. That's a tough bill to fit, I tell ya.
I work as a freelance graphic and web designer, and I also work for a local company doing web design and a few illustrations here and there. I'd love to pretend I'm an artist, but I can't focus on any one medium long enough to master it, I dabble in painting, drawing, sculpture, etc., and I'll even make chain maille if I'm pressed to do so. Not Renaissance Faire chain maille- more jewelry or hot and sexy stuff.
I'm not in the profession I'd like to be, though. I'd much rather be a researcher at The Body Farm in Tennessee or working at a mortuary. I did so very briefly. Can't make good money at it, unfortunately, and I am forced to make as much money as possible to meet the ever-increasing demand for Legos around this house.
Other than that, not much to tell. Check out my web site at www.apartment213.com for a look at my work and more of my rants.

iPhone is in Hand. Jun 30
That's right. You heard me. I own an iPhone. And instantly upon purchase, I became, skinnier, younger, richer and hipper. Well, at least the latter.
Suffer Little Children May 28
It seems to me that, when people get married, they cease to grow as individuals. When individual growth stops, your partner has nothing new to cling to when your old shit becomes intolerable. People get lazy. They gain too much weight. The kids take too high a priority. People stop being involved in a social cause, stop going to Bible studies, stop being concerned with political issues. What's left? I mean, other than a GIANT gap that another person can fill without even trying?
Bukowski, Rollins, and George W. Bush Apr 26
Though I have not abandoned my party by any means, nor have they given me any concrete reason to do so, other than minor quibbles with one policy or another, I find myself wondering WHY and HOW I got to this hue in the political spectrum. Let me explain...
