salutations. here is the section where i get to be completely pretentious.

most commonly referred to as pam, i am 24 y/o college drop-out and an assistant store manager for a wireless communications company. i currently reside in a small city in massachusetts with my husband, steve.

i am not a pessimist, rather a realist.

i am a procrastinator.

i have a tattoo of my name in korean on my left shoulderblade. i have been contemplating about adding more to it; perhaps some organic design. will most definitely get a second tattoo, a feline drawing to declare my adoration for cats. possible location: upper arm or hip.

most of my spare time is filled with working and reading. some favorites are: the chosen, inherit the wind, zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, night, 1984, lila, fear & loathing in las vegas. i am currently reading "walden" by henry david thoreau.

listening to music is another favorite pastime. such as: tori amos, juliette and the licks, yeah yeah yeahs, portishead, bjork, the pixies, bikini kill, discount, piebald, the raincoats, the clampdown, le tigre, smashing pumpkins, tracy + the plastics, ani difranco, the kills, discount, peaches, morningwood, garbage, cherry poppin' daddies, the clash, drain sth, good riddance, the juliana theory, fugazi, fiona apple, positive state, propagandhi, weezer, aha, joan jett, sarah mclachlan, nirvana, the vapors, the cure, afi, the distillers, anti-flag, red hot chili peppers, rancid, moby, live, violent femmes, naked aggression, nin, the cranberries, led zeppelin, radiohead, banco de gaia, millencolin the mad capsule markets, curve, the white stripes, modest mouse, sublime, wizo, social distortion, h2o, tool, the profits, jewel, the doors, the go-gos, etc...

my mouse roofus died. a mouse to remember. it was a sad time when she made her untimely death but my folks got me a cat, spazz, on new year's eve ['97]. pet my pussy. a new addition has been added to the family, sid vicious, an adorable white feline with a stub tail and mohawk.

i have an unhealthy obsession with felines now that i have my own little bundle of fur to adore. i'm constantly "oooing" and "aaahing" and squealing with glee whenever the cats act cute [this annoys my dad very much], which is all the time because i think everything they do is adorable. i know i'm going to be one of those weird cat ladies who has ten thousand cats and celebrates their birthdays with clowns and cake and ice cream and balloons.

i am an atheist. if you believe in superior beings, fine, good for you. why atheism?
