More About Me

My name is Noelle.

I am thirty-four and married to a (very geeky and sweet) husband. I have several pets: three cats, one ridgeback dog, and last year I had to have my hedgehog put down due to cancer. In a terrible twist of irony I am, in fact, a Cancer. Which makes me wonder about my eventual fate.

I’ve traveled a lot. I was born and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Now I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the meantime I have been to Italy, Australia, Korea, Japan, Toronto, and all over the United States. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts: Sculpture from the College of Santa Fe.

I once designed a perfect replica of my house using The Sims.

I also have profiles set up on ok cupid and my space.

According to Rum and Monkey I’m an apparently intelligent, liberal, disgustingly generous, relatively well adjusted human being! See how compatible you are with me!

I have wish lists set up on amazon, my wishlist, target, thinkgeek, and torrid.

this is my blogchalk: Noelle/Female/31-35. Lives in United States/New Mexico/Albuquerque/West Side, speaks English. Spends 45% of daytime online. Uses a Faster (1M+) connection. And likes pets/reading/movies/spinning/knitting/dogs/cats/hedgehogs/democrats.

I’ve done about eighteen bagillion memes so feel free to take a look at them here.
