We're the ones your mother warned your about...No, seriously. We are.








I am a presence in the night, a silent shadow that moves amongst you, folding clothing in large retail stores when you turn your back and creating magical jumping pills in Flash for nutritional supplements. A member of a fellowship formerly known as The Bronze, I have survived flame wars, strife, three years without sleep, and various moments of inadvertent porn to get a degree. After these trials and tribulations, my circle of kindred has been whittled to a small but hearty band of trusty companions, bonded together by naught but an obsession with pop culture and in some cases, sparkly boy lurvin'. (*sigh* That one kinda scares me.) In my continuing quest for a some semblance of a life, I am joined by my faithful four-legged companion, Zoey, whose undying devotion to me may or may not have caused her to once inadvertently launch herself off Anya's head one morning. *cough* Mine is a noble cause - to make sure that everyone has to live up to the fact that life is, in essence, so freakin' weird that if you don't sit back and laugh at it, you're not doing it right. It is in pursuit of this that I have recruited Sam & Robyn as my minions and begun this site to bring to you, our reader, the sweet, sweet madness that is our world.

I am.......the girl that just opened up a pack of Starburst to find three strawberry ones in a row! Woo!
