| | | | Parlez-vous de moi? | Put down the mouse for a second. | | Whaddya wanna know? I spent about 6 years teaching English in Asia, came home, went to grad school, came out of grad school with a publishing degree, found a publishing job, found another and another and a sister and a brother (bonus points if you know what that's from). I'm pragmatic in a useless way, rudeness annoys me, I hate being told what to do, and I can be impatient. I wear cardis and kitten heels in the summer but try and separate me from my snowboard in the winter and you're SOL. Sometimes I take myself way WAY too seriously, but I count on my flist to mock me down to size when necessary. I love to cook and my dream man is Anthony Bourdain, but a bit less of a bastard. And shorter. And without the smoking. I am afflicted with a decision-making disorder- it's called "being a woman". Really. I'm a million different people from one day to the next. If I die of anything other than natural causes, it will probably be skin cancer because I love the damn sun too much for my own good- I can never wear a strapless dress, for example. Freckles are the bane of my clothes-buying life and yet I can't imagine not having them. There's a very good chance I blog to escape real life. I'm guessing to a degree everyone is the same. I'm trying to make :9 happen. It's an emoticon that means "yummy". I like to write, and since staring at Word and filling up a blank page is not as much fun as having a blog, I will blog.
Here I go. Brace yourself.
 Pincers? A pony? Whatever he wants, Felix'd DanRad is ♥.
| | Screw music, chocolate be the food of love, dammit. |  | I like chocolate. As long as it's dark. And by "dark" I mean the kind of dark, evil chocolate that lures Nestle's milk chocolate into a dark alley behind the A&P and beats it senseless with a tire iron. Bad ass cocoa- wimps need not apply. I'm always on the look out for new chocolate. Fave brands include Theo, Dagoba, Lake Champlain (which makes a lil' milk, sea salt and almond bar that is delectable) and when I have the cash Vosges. The local co-op has all these lovely bars that look so good and it is well-nigh impossible to buy a good bar of chocolate, have a square or two, and then stow it in the cabinet! Not a fan of milk chocolate or gianduja. And please do not get me started on white chocolate- IT'S. NOT. CHOCOLATE. No cocoa solids! Don't argue with me on my journal, damn you!
