More about me

I am an ecclectic, flexible adventurer with defining flaws and  passions.  This incarnation walks about as a 5 foot female -  happily married, but emotionally and sexually poly.  Currently I'm doing project management in software development to finance art and escapades, but I am really goverened in this world by the dictates of my Border Collie and my relentlessly being remodeled house. 

My only mission in life has always been to get out of it alive; Knowing what that means occupies my thought much of the time.
