Hi. I'm boring and socially inept. I live alone with three cats, eighty six plants and a few hundred books.
ETA: It has come to my attention that maybe I am not boring. (Some of you kind people even flickrmailed me to right this wrong. I thank you:))
My cats are all strays I rescued from the Science Museum garage. The plant tally is closer to one hundred, largely in part to the succulent cuttings I took from a Mexican cemetery and smuggled back into the country in my bra. A bazillion books? check.
I think it's important to note that I am not a photographer. Though in the recent past I have held such job titles as photography assistant, image specialist, and dead monkey girl. The latter is photography related as I was paid to primp and preen dead primates for their portraits.
This is just my life. Welcome.

"Hopefuldoubtful is an interesting person who smuggles succulents in her bra and has primped and preened dead monkeys. There is probably much that she is not telling us."
