About me

Gender Female
Location Long Beach, California, United States
Introduction Lara was created in the early eighties when George Lucas’s imagination got bored and went fishing with Timothy Leary. She developed slowly under a tree somewhere in Africa before she too caught the boredom virus. She then created a small, average, awkward looking person to inhabit and hitchhiked across the galaxy searching for the antidote to the dreaded virus, or at least something to amuse her in the meantime.She doesn't know anything about grammar but does, in fact, have a grandma or two. So far Blogging, Procreation,Insane Musicians and Good Cheese have kept her reasonably well occupied but the Hitchhikers Guide is in her back pocket and she is ready to set off again, tackling punctuation, cooking, dancing and a particularly large sea bass along the way... stay tuned! [and just so you dont ask - yes I have seen Yentl, and no - I don't]

Describe the sound of a moist waffle falling onto a hot griddle.

Why does the word moist always sound so dirty, even in stork ads, its so incredibly random, which must mean its vaguely related to punctuation. Like, cousins, but ones who can kiss - "there go Moist and Punctuation again, isn't incest disgusting?"
