About me

Gender Female
Location Austin, TX, United States
Introduction I love live music. I love cold beer. They love me. It's the very best sort of love triangle. That’s me in a nutshell, but I have so many other loves besides. Above all: My beautiful, brilliant, hilarious, talented teenager. My family: Ultimately, I owe them for my strength. My shining, sparkling web of friends who are just as much a family to me: “Relation now means nothing, having chosen so defined.” (Thank you, Neko Case.) I believe I am beyond blessed to have chosen and been chosen so well. They challenge and inspire me to always strive for better, never settle for less. I feel nothing short of loved and protected each and every day, and that means the world to me. Everything else that makes life worth living: Tift Cat & Gillie Cat, Austin, Tucson, the ranch & all things Far West Texas, road trips, traveling, bodies of water, Carolina hoops, #18, TexMex, Thai, Tito’s Bloody Marys, Scotch whisky, Spanish wine, acceptance, beauty, belief, courage, freedom, guardian angels, ghosts, grace, hope, intuition, laughter, love, magic, patience, peace, people, politics, reading, spontaneity, tolerance, truth, wisdom and words themselves.
