A writer of meandering prose, a weekend vampire, a dilettante student of 19th century literature (particularly Thomas Hardy), a modest goth girl, a slacker sewer who loves historical and fantasy costuming anyway, a devout acolyte of the One True Computer for the Masses -- Macintosh, an ex-Ren. Faire geek, the Champion Queen of Wist and Wistfulness, a very nitpicky editor, an old-fashioned liberal democrat with socialist leanings, a bitch, a Martha Stewart wanna-be, a reborn libertine, a perky depression-sufferer, a thrift shopper extraordinare, a dreamer of decadence, a gypsy and a poseur, a hopeless romantic, a New Romantic, a Gen Xer who struggles with 20/30something angst and watched _My So-Called Life_ with overwhelming nostalgia, a coffee achiever (two creams and six sugars), and a girl who just can't say no ... to more creative projects.
