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.
