This auction has ended. Thanks to everyone who bid. Please check the front page for more auctions, going on through the first week of December, 2009.

My inspiration for this necklace:

Information is sacred. We are collections of information.

I observe. I record. And I like to figure out what people are by examining what they’re made of.

Valentine…

his eyes are seaglass-blue.

I do not remember things everyone remembers. And I need to. In order to build a self I need a foundation. I have to write more. I have to make sense of things.

I think the universe or the multiverse or whatever has this stopgap for data loss, and I think the human brain does pattern-patching on a subconscious level – finding the things that match you and filling holes with them.

With enough data, maybe I can figure out the world.

I write. Everything.

A Taste Of Interfictions 2
“The news is getting everything wrong. Her name was Verona, and not Veronica. She was not a teenager, and would not have been flattered to be mistaken for one. She was not an edgy performance artist. She painted. She also sculpted.

The news is implying that her boyfriend is sketchy. They always imply that the boyfriend, or husband, is sketchy. I'm angry on his behalf. I am also angry because this basic, default assumption usually turns out to be right. Part of the logic behind it is that someone has to care about you very deeply if they are going to bother beating you to death with "multiple instruments."”
