You wanna know about me?

I've been around as long as mankind has walked the Earth and not a moment longer. I put my photos up here, and write about stuff here.

I prefer odd numbers in multiples of 3. I thrive on colour and wear all black so that when I find some, my outfit will always "go" with it. I think it is far more interesting to be ugly than to be beautiful. I don't exist for myself--I could care less about me--but I think you are fucking amazing. I want you to want me, to use me, to bend me to your mental will and walk away inspired. That shall be my legacy.

I am a geek. I am a dork. I am a pervert and a hedonist. I selflessly exhibit narcissism because I hear some people get off on that. I have no idea what I'm doing half the time and I rather like it that way; it keeps me honest. To those that I inspire: thank you. I love to hear that we have connected in some way.

Waiting is.

Alive and kicking since 1984.
Making squishy brain porn since 2004.
Rocking Portland's complex infrastructure since 2006.

"Merrick is just wonderful, completely and utterly. She re-creates Steampunk, she's that good. Perfectly sassy and full of attitude; while sweet and adorable. Welcome Back!"
