An avid fan of anything sci-fi and pop culture. My interest tend to lean towards the weird side of things, which I'll leave to your interpretation. Many lonely and cold nights have made me particularly wary about accepting candy from strangers, but not wary enough to decline such offers of suspicious generosity.

Pop culture, art and design and tech
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Grammar girl.

I stand-up and stretch my legs or play a lot of techno, dance or Lana Del Rey music.
What inspires or excites you?
The smell of newly baked bread and one of my future ex-husbands Russell Tovey.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
A beautiful woman with three dragons will retake the world with fire and blood from the zombies that were imprisoned using by a magical ice wall in the North.
