About Me Reclusive twenty-something. Married for five years now to an honest-to-God Prince Charming. Mischievous Christian. Vegetarian with vegan aspirations. Fond of black lace. Cherished slave of one small black and white cat. Apartment-dweller. Constantly online: might as well be physically plugged in to the power outlet and the local server. Holds a BA in Religion. Has worked in education, special education, youth ministry, and children's ministry over the past eleven years. Reads books like Cookie Monster eats cookies. Writer, artist, and musician. Laboriously learning how to dance. Utter scatterbrain. Adores Lewis Carroll's Alice in all her various incarnations. Also loves L. Frank Baum's Dorothy Gale. Alice, however, best suits overall mood and interests at present: world just gets curiouser and curiouser every day.

What Gives Me Hope Trees and children.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by ... um, I will never be Mayor.
