• What do you do for a living?
I'm a starving artist - please buy my work. ;-)
• Who are your favorite artists?

There are too many to begin to mention. The list keeps getting longer all the time, and not only longer but wider, encompassing more areas.
• What influences you to write about/how you do?
Mood swings. Fluctuating hormone levels. Dreams. The weather. Something I've read or seen. Lunar phases. Relationships.
• Where do you see the underground writing scene in 25 years?
Jazzbo and Ron Androla will be traveling around the country readingtheir poetry to reverent masses. They'll be in Cait's van -she'll be barefoot, her socks hanging up on hooks like Christmasstockings. And Ori will be working on his 10th book. That'swhat I see.
• from cait - tell us about the most devastating negative situation you've been involved in and how you handled it and do you still use condoms even if it's not for the purpose intended...? (no water balloon scenes pullleaaaaaaase heh -
Several of the most devastating negative situations I've been in - and this was a long time ago - involved crime incidents. Though Isurvived to tell (or not tell) the stories, I'm afraid of the dark,I won't accept rides from strangers, and I avoid people who (in my opinion) are potentially dangerous. Oddly enough, I'm addicted to reading true crime stories. Sometimes I become so engrossed in themI scream when Kurt surprises me by walking into the room.

Condoms? I plan on writing a book on that in the future: 101 Uses for the Common Condom. Stay tuned.
