Profile

I'm a Seattle native who lives in an alarmingly frou-frou apartment complex and monkey wrenches her life and the lives of those closest to her every so often, mainly to keep from being bored. I tend to screw myself over when I do this, but it should make for an interesting journal during the rare instances that I decide to come clean.

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is most important that you do it."

If you end up subscribing to my journal and you don't already know me, be aware that you may find a lot of this fairly banal and end up unsubscribing in a few days. No hard feelings. Similarly, I don't promise that I will subscribe to yours in turn or that, if I do, I will continue to find the same fascination in it that I may have at one point. I'm not much for link exchanges out of obligation.

Why "Softcore Mutation"?

Just recently, I looked up the words to DEVO's Going Under, which has charmed me for decades. One of the phrases I could never make out was "softcore mutation." Being a mutant (I was born with six fingers on each hand), I decided to update my journal titles.

Why "Beautiful Mutants"?

Most of the people I adore aren't considered quite right, whatever "right" is.

Why "archive?"

Have you actually played with LJ's calendar feature?

And "Reciprocating Love Cornucopia Interface Program?"

I don't remember what the self-depreciating comment I made about myself and my habit of falling for some people a bit more easily than seemed healthy was, but a well-respected member of that community dubbed me with this title: RiLCIP. I was fond enough of it to want to keep it handy.

Where'd you get the mood icons?

The Dr. Who K-9 icons came from Alden Bates' website, which also houses Dalek and Cybermat icons.
