Frequently Asked Questions
(as far as you know)
You know people at pharmaceutical companies. Can you get me any free drugs?
No, you degenerate.
If you're a writer, why is your website so scant on content?
Because shut up.
Where will you go on your next tame adventure as a tourist who thinks she is more adventurous than a tourist?
Just got back from New Zealand, which was incredible. And expensive. We won't be going anywhere for a while.
What is Burning Man like?
Dusty. Exhausting. Painful. Absolutely amazing.
Do you have any distinguishing features?
Yes: Left ear pointier than right ear; scar on right forearm (impaled on plant stake); birthmark on right ankle.
Um... any accomplishments?
Yes. I graduated from Temple University summa cum laude. I quit smoking. I can surf, sort of. I was a scooter pioneer in Philadelphia in the late 90s. (Now the city is lousy with scooters, but when I started riding, it was just me and the guys delivering Chinese food.) Oh, and so far I have survived my upbringing.
Would you like some freshly ground pepper on your entree?
Yes, please.
