So Here I Am, Yes It's Me

No, this isn't my first blog. Far from it. But I've let my other blogs fall by the wayside (one on school librarianship and another on perfume) simply because I've been bored by them, or I've lost the passwords and can't be bothered to dig them out, or there wasn't much readership to begin with. So, as with any person you meet for the first time, a brief introduction:

Hi. I'm Heather. I'm in the US. I used to drink lots of alcohol, but had to stop because it was messing with my brain, my body, and nearly cost me a job once. I still like to drink, with beer and wine being my favorites, but now I only do it on the weekend, and I try to see how long I can go without any alcohol in my system at all (longest stretch, 2.5 months). I think I might have a highly addictive personality. I read books. I shop for books. I have tried my hand at writing books as well as blogs. I also like to shop.

About shopping---I like to shop for clothes, music, books, yarn, jewelry, jewelry-making supplies, beads, food, shoes, and just plain old stuff. Stuff refers to workout equipment (I have a 15-pound kettlebell as well as several sets of dumbbells), athletic wear, make-up, perfume, nail polish, and just various and sundry things.

I love music. I love to dance. I am a hard-core rockabilly chick who also likes to go to dancehalls and dance clubs. I took ballet, tap, and jazz as a child. I still like to go out and break it on down, as well as get jiggy wit' it, bus' a moo', cut a rug, and jam. I have a user account on LAST fm, and lots of my friends over there will soon be reading this post and laughing their almighty butts off. The spelling alone will probably make people giggle til they pee. I also like to listen to Rockabillyradio.net and I used to listen to Live365, but now those sonsabitches want me to register and join. Fuck 'em.

I love to read other people's blogs. My faves as of late are :

In fact, is was because of Srinivas Rao's guest post on Josh's blog that I decided to start this one. Wanna read that cat's way cool post? Clicken zie here.

Well, Feces! My batt'ry's about to die! Don't worry kids, I'll write more later.

Peace out, bean sprouts!

Heather
