The Girl with a Lobster

I'm a 22 year-old lady living in Kansas City. I work in a grocery store, although I kicked ass in getting an English degree. Some call me Elizabeth, some call me Ishmael, some call me Octopus-Hands. And others (well mostly Heather) call me Katarina von Pillows McElroy. Take your pick.

There isn't a cohesive focus to this blog, although I do fancy Britcoms, literature, language, writing, sci-fi, plants, webcomics, history, and other geekery.

I do have an odd sense of humor, and you'll just have to deal with that.

… before I could read them for myself I had come to love just the words of them, the words alone. What the words stood for, symbolized, or meant was of very secondary importance—what mattered was the very sound of them as I heard them for the first time on the lips of the remote and quite incomprehensible grown-ups who seemed, for some reason, to be living in my world.
