About meI was born on a dark and stormy night on a little farm in Kansas. Except the Kansas thing's not true, it was Fairfax. I like yellow fruit roll-ups best. I am addicted to coffee, even though I don't drink it. I like to set my fan at level 2. I have pi running as the border around my room. My favorite Beatle is Paul because he's the cute one. I can sing the Greek alphabet, and I love to staple paper. And put food in tupperware containers! I have a paper plate on my wall that says, "The deepest questions can't be asked with words." I made it in the Eddas room, which I'm in love with. I make beaded bobby pins! I don't use jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches, and cutting crusts off is for pansies! I prefer gel-ink pens to straight up ball-point BICs, and I read Jones soda bottle caps religiously. I can't remember the last time I exercised. I have a crazy Kleenex box. I'd do anything to work on/for/with McSweeney's, and someday I will buy the cabin next door to JD Salinger and go into a crazy hermit writing stage. Which will be after I become world dictator, obviously. Oh, and I am obsessed with fonts and their subsequent identification. Thankyouthatisall.

About my libraryI am way too addicted to books. And I collect everything from Pocket Poets to McSweeney's, the Pantheon Folklore Library to the Vintage International books (which there are A LOT of). I judge books by their covers, and prefer a larger font (I'm so sorry, but that's just how it is).

Hooray! Thank you for accepting. I notice you have some fantastic taste in literature! We have quite a similar collection. Gosh, its strange to think of the parallelisms one may have with other people across the universe. I wish I knew people like that in a closer proximity, but oh well, I guess that is one of the few conveniences of the internet, right? haha...well, have a gnarly day!
I noticed that you read Who Killed Marilyn Monroe and Did The Kennedy's know?
I would really like to hear your opinion on this book, and about Marilyn Monroe in general, like do you really believe that the Kennedy's might have been involved in the murder?
Also, I just started browsing through "What We Believe But Cannot Prove" (edited by John Brockman). Some mind-blowlingly fun reading in there. (Can you tell I was lured into the seductive parlor of the Borders fly this afternoon?)
Say ... thanks for the comic (I think). Have you seen "Black Bodies and Quantum Cats" by Jennifer Ouellette? (She wrote that "Physics of the Buffyverse" book.) She's a lit-major who "discovered" physics after college. Interesting.
Welcome aboard. :)
