About me

Gender Female
Occupation Archivist
Location Washington, DC
Introduction I've moved around a lot, but I like this city. It's different, and I feel like a different person here. I've done lots of things here - I've wrangled and tamed the babies and little children of D.C.; I've slung coffee to bitter and bold pioneers of the northwest quadrant; I've worked in dusty archives both near and far. I've been lonely and I've felt overwhelmed. But I like where I am now the best of all.
Interests tidying up, painting, cats named clarence, gardening, knitting, lots of other things.
Favorite Movies Nightmare Before Christmas, Moonstruck, among others.
Favorite Music Will Oldham, Modest Mouse, Neko Case, Hoyt Axton, Rufus Wainwright, slide guitars and church hymns.
Favorite Books Coraline, The God of Small Things, The Girl of the Limberlost, The Harvester.
