CURRENT MISSION

to make those frikkin comic books already

ABOUT ME

I used to work at a comic book publishing company, which was my dream job until I discovered that i despise sitting at a desk for 40 hours a week, even if it IS all about comics (plus my boss was an ass). So i quit my job, packed my bags, bade a goodbye to my friends back home, and went traveling. I've mostly been doing volunteer conservation work, trying to learn how to live in an environmentally low-impact way, and generally attempting to do my bit to eradicate the evils of patriarchy and capitalist domination. That's about the past year and a half of my life in a nutshell. Feel free to ask me anything else!

PHILOSOPHY

I will destroy stagnant mundanity in my life by firing from a cannon one (1) rotund, handle-bar moustachioed man into any block of banality, laughing as it shatters into tiny little bits. Then I shall cover the rubble with gasoline streamers and napalm confetti, setting it all on fire with my heart-shaped lighter, feeling the flames of it's destruction warm my back as i ride into the sunset on my giraffe.
The rotund man will go back home to his family.

i'm sorry, what was the question again?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hung out with kangaroos for a month in the Australian outback. Kangaroos are AWESOME. My boyfriend is a kangaroo. Living in the woods for 7 months trying to help stop a coal mine was also pretty neat. SAVE HAPPY VALLEY!!!! www.savehappyvalley.org.nz
