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.

“Come on Alphonse. Go back to your room, re-read the script, learn your lines, then try to sleep. Tomorrow we work. That’s what matters. Don’t be a fool. You’re a very good actor. No one’s private life runs smoothly. That only happens in the movies. No traffic jams, no dead periods. Movies go along like trains in the night. And people like you and me are only happy in our work.” -from Francois Truffaut’s La Nuit Americaine
