I am woman, hear me roar.
I was the only girl in the Mastodon mosh pit and I survived their entire two-hour set. Although I did need the help of a man to make sure I wasn’t crushed to death à la Jessica Michalik, this is a clear example that Girls Can Do Anything!!!! I’m off to ice my bruised body.

Please watch the attached video evidence. Touche Amore (hardcore) Shawn Colvin (singer-songwriter) The Appleseed Cast (post rock) I should be content with the amazing music I’ve seen in this little country, but I’m just greedy I guess.

Small victories.
Today I went down a long, steep slope on my skateboard without falling off. This is a big deal, because the fact that I try to skateboard at all is hilarious. I am chubby and uncoordinated with poor balance, but everyone needs a hobby and no netball team will have me. Here’s the thing with skateboarding: once you drop in or start a trick, you have to commit. Yes, you might fall and hurt...

I’ve never been under any illusions regarding my own anonymity on the internet, and scoffed at friends of mine who refused to join Facebook for fear of data mining and identity theft, or didn’t “get” Twitter.

Google, you have broken my heart.
My Gmail account was hacked tonight, sending out spam emails to everyone I’ve emailed in the past five years. Since I couldn’t remember the exact dates that I began using each one of Google’s large portfolio of web-based applications (a key part of the account restoration questionnaire), they won’t give it back.
