Ugh, it's been way too long since I posted. Here are some facts you may find interesting about what I have been up to since I last found the time to update you all.

Let's start out with the thing I really should have posted about several weeks ago but didn't: Beth Kinderman & the Player Characters are thrilled to have been invited to perform at a ( Read more... )

First off, a link that made my soul hurt a little. I was bullied terribly throughout virtually my entire K-12 career, and often teased relentlessly about having interests that weren't seen as fitting for a girl (including Star Wars), so reading this article was like looking back in time at myself.
