So here i am, the stuff about me, as a person. i hate this stuff. i never know where to start and what is interesting or what isn't. Gah.

Well, to start with, i grew up in Rochester NY, i am 26 (tho i look like i am 12), a Gemini (and am i), the only child of divorced parents. i am quirky, loyal, emotional, private, introspective, serious, practical, sarcastic, thoughtful, and worry too much. i am a tomboy and a complete failure at being female. i hate shoes, the boyfriend has to put makeup on me when we go out. i swear like a sailor. It's bad, really. i have a tendency to rant which my friends seem to find amusing, for whatever reason. i am interested in Voluntary Simplicity, childfree living, and ecology. i am Pagan, read tarot, interested in astrology, photography, love to read and write letters -- i have about 10 inmate pen pals in prisons across the country. i am addicted to Baulder's Gate games. i take my friendships very seriously. i love to scrapbook, tho i don't fit in with the general demographic that fills that hobby at all. i sew--ren fest costumes, ritual or SCA garb are my focus. i am considering grad school next fall, and it's time to put up or shut up. Go or not.

i graduated from SUNY Binghamton in 2000, headed downstate with the Americorps and the Student Conservation Association to work as a zookeeper for a year. Came back here (i hate Binghamton) worked at a grooming shop and a small cafe for 2 years, just putzing around, and then picked up, went back home and spent 7 months at the Onandaga School of Theraputic Massage. Me, who hates people, a Massage Therapist. GO FIGURE.

At the moment i am back in Binghamton (i hate this town) with my beloved boyfriend, his cat, my house mate and her cat, on the edge of 10 or more acres of forest. i work at the White Rose, a small day spa off the BU campus.
i spend my days with my elbow in the backs or shoulders of people in pain, and getting paid for it. HA. i love it.

A candle in memory of Nik, Jane and now my beloved and stunningly pissy Serriphym. You are all missed.
