    About Me

    I have been in grad school, but i have had to leave due to illness. I do plan to finish my degree in women's studies. I am doing a creative thesis with my poetry. My latest tattoo is for my sun in Leo, with a moon in Scorpio. I am also related to the guy who invented LSD. I love ani difranco, girl punk, and classic stuff like joan jett & the beatles. I watch a lot of cartoons & movies.

    Interests

    Writing (all forms), riding my 1966 vespa, making art, reading poetry & novels, playing with my cat and dog. I also love travel & being outside. Lastly, I love eating breakfest at a diner with coffee & a cigarette-well, now I am health "nut", so english breakfest tea : )
