about me
Basically, I'm a scientist with a creative bent. Or an artist with a scientific bent. Depends on the day.

I'm normally artistic and musically-inclined, however I find that my day job saps enough of my creative flow that I rarely get around to drawing/painting, musical performance or composition. Instead, I am crafty---I decorate everything that is in my power to decorate. Including myself!

Relationships: other than one ongoing casual thing, I'm single. There's enough on my plate right now that I'm not actively looking, but if we happen to click, that's great. I'm concerned about honesty, fairness, and getting my needs met. One thing I've found to be consistently true: if all parties in a relationship structure are extremely considerate of the others, i.e. more considerate than is required as a baseline, there is a minimum of drama and complication. In sum: be excessively kind to everyone involved. That's how I want to work.

You might say I'm a little of everything, and that I'm looking for the same.

I do have a spiritual practice; I am not an atheist. The best descriptive term for me is Taoist pagan.

I've been a lab technician for five years now, and I'm thinking about my next career move. Acupuncture is looking good, if I can figure out how to pay for school. I'm also looking to develop my own bath and body line. The biotechnology industry is starting to eat my soul, and that's definitely less than ideal.

I'm a session cellist on the side. On rare occasions, I also play guitar and bass and sing. I need to fix my bass string, dammit! When I have the energy and creative flow, I draw. I have a portfolio online somewhere. Ask and I'll direct you to it. [My portfolio contains art, not photos.] I write songs sometimes.

Anything else you'd like to know?

hitting the Reset button (blog entry) There's a distinct possibility that I might lose my current job due to illness. I used to think, "oh, that's not fair, it's not my fault I'm sick", but that still leaves an employer with a job needing to be done that I can't appropriately do.

So, I actually did get fired from my job. Moreover, with my arthritis and anxiety problems progressing, I'm finding myself pretty much unable to work.
Therefore, I'm looking for someone to sublet my place. I'm not thrilled about leaving to go stay with my mom, but I can't keep doing this. I'm in no condition to start another job right now, particularly not in biotech. As soon as I'm in slightly better shape, I need to do some preparations so it can be shown to prospective renters.

It's been a wicked run of bad luck lately. Car repairs costing $1000. A visit to the ER with a throat infection where I needed 4 liters of saline, because I was that dehydrated. My rheumatoid arthritis is progressing into other joints besides the one... read more

so, perusing my friend Zlana's jewelry company website has given me a creative bug. now I kinda wanna make and sell funky stuff too. so let's see, what can I do....

-I can paint fabric. I adore making funky painted shirts with jewels and such.

-I can make scented bath salts, bath bombs, perfume blends, and body creams. Mmm.

-I like making hanging mobile art with drawings, beads, ribbons, glitter, etc.

I wonder if that's too much of a mishmash of things to sell on one site?

Hm... read more
