"Ya load sixteen tons, And whaddaya get?

Another year older and deeper in debt

St. Peter don't ya call me cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store..."

Another year older. Thirty-four now instead of thirty-three (how did I ever get so old?), still an Illinois grad student but *this* close to being done with her dissertation, and now having found a small handful of people who know where her screen name comes from. Likes still include her fiance (now husband), friendly dogs (and cats) and Michelle West's Sun Sword books; but a new one (belly dancing) has been added. Dislikes include not-so-friendly dogs, those who viciously flame young writers, and sexism in literature. Someday I hope to be able to stop writing so much fanfic and get some of my original stuff published. A girl can dream.
