| Bio: | Update: Right now, as of April 12, 2007, I am fighting off a bad case of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, a.k.a. Breast Cancer. I was diagnosed at the age of 28, with no solid family history. Six days after diagnosis, I had a bilateral mastectomy. Thoughout the Spring, Summer and Fall I'll be having chemotherapy. Over the next five years I'll be on hormonal therapy as well. Here's my cancer journal where I post treatment updates. Public Service Announcement: If you have a lump, go to the damn doctor! If your doctor tells you you're too young to have breast cancer and it's probably nothing to worry about, don't listen. Insist on having it tested. Unless you're prepubescent and have no boobs, you are not too young. It can and does happen. Here is more information on young women and breast cancer. Now back to my regularly scheduled user info...
My job is directing a radio call-in show called State of Affairs for WFPL Public Radio, the local NPR affiliate. I hate when it's raining and the bottom of my pants gets wet. I love to dance. I love good beer. I have a love/hate relationship "with" superfluous quotation marks. I love to eat, drink, dance, swear, and indulge in all kinds of other things that are bad for me. I like good coffee. I live with a Jack Russell Terrier, a skinny cat, a fat cat, a kid, and the lovely ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) joe_khamael, my snookie poo. I'm the Vice President of Communications for Chihuahua Rescue, USA. As such, I also live with a young Chihuahua and an old Chihuahua, both from the rescue. I often also live with foster Chihuahuas.
On March 10, 2007, after nearly eight years together, joe_khamael and I tied the knot!
Here are all my photo albums!
