This is me...all that I am.

I still am unsure how to use this site, but I figured now is a good time to reintroduce myself. I'll crosspost this to LJ as I have some newbies reading it and they may be wondering what the hell they've gotten into.

I tend to keep most things flocked, except fic, videos I like, links I like, etc.

What I keep flocked: blathering on and on and on and on about my dog, blathering about politics, flailing about life in general. Trust me, you aren't missing much.

Who I am.

I am an Air Force brat and grew up all over the place. My mom was a major and my dad was a master sergeant. I take great pride in this.

I love my dog and dangerously close to becoming one of those pet owners. She is a retired racing greyhound and spends her days on my sofa and finding the biggest sticks ever. She cracks me up on a daily basis and keeps me grounded. I mean, there is only room for one diva in this household and it's her.

I am policy wonk by trade. I tend to babble on about lawmaking and policy and the US budget. Which I am currently reading. It sucks. I do love what I do.

I live in DC. I am rather fond of this City - not just the governmental aspect of it, but also the multiculturalism.

I run. I love running. I only started a few years ago, but since then I've completed a ton of races. I find peace when I run that I cannot find anywhere else. I must say that I pretty much hate every run I start, but I love every run I finish.

I am single - and I only mention this because I occasionally share my oddly entertaining stories about dating. I do get some doozies.

I love F1. I love reading. I love hiking and kayaking and this is sounding like a personal ad.

Feel free to ask me any questions or introduce yourself or anything. I'm not scary.

And the ponies are not my fault.
