Location San Diego, California, United States
Introduction I (still) share a house the size of a postage stamp with a husband and two cats in a very urban area of the way-too-spread-out city of my birth (but not my entire life) and I used to correct other people's grammar for a living even though I let myself write run-on sentences.
Interests Cats (with a bias towards Burmese and tabbies), Crafts that are not from kits, Canning, Reading, Gardening, Telling adorable stories about my cat over and over and over
Favorite Movies Hard Days NIght, The Women, The 5th Element, Old (mostly b/w) movies, Bend it Like Beckham, Lilo and Stitch, Women on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown, Capote, Muppet Frog Prince
Favorite Music Depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Bubblegum pop that everyone else loathes, Irish punk, angsty stuff, indie folk/country/rock/whatevah as long as it's not too precious.

If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?

Festive bunches of stinging nettles, poison ivy, and hemlock leaves over a completely impervious (and inedible) protective layer of clothing. I'd also have an outside pocket with a few spices and some nice sea salt inside ready for *my* meal.
