on an insatiable quest for self worth.

ABOUT ME

Growing up in my Americana hometown, formerly a rural township now riddled with meandering cul-de-sacs and a habitat well-suited for the hoity-toity-snooty-yuppie types, I felt disconnected from my immediate surroundings and the rest of the world. Fortunately, library books were my source of cultural exploration prior to the world-wide-web, social networking, etc. These days, I'm definitely a media-mining junkie and avid blogger online. However, when I'm not researching or blabbing on blogspot, I spend my time enjoying the great outdoors (hiking and jogging mostly) and doing crafts and sewing on rainy days.
