Quick Introduction

Hello! Writing a quick bit to introduce myself: I'm ToasterStrumpet,aka Lora, new member extraordinaire!

I'm originally from Chicago, but have been living in Pittsburgh for a little over two years. I'm a politically liberal pagan chick who is in the process of figuring out life and navigating the chaotic waters of grad school. Yes, sometimes I am sane.

I'm in the process of moving from LiveJournal to Wordpress, and I think I still have a few formatting kinks to work out; I mainly blog about religion, politics and pop culture, but I occasionally throw in the personal post. You can visit my blog here.


Thanks for having me!

Hi gang-

I've been a little lax in taking the time to introduce myself (and my blog) to everyone, but I figure it's about time I make myself known:

I'm Eleanor (ok, I'm "Eleanor" online- I have a government job, give a girl a break). As my "About" page states, I'm "a redhead, a Southerner by birth, a Pittsburgher by choice, a feminist by nature, a writer by passion, a local food junkie by stomach, a liberal by vote, an oldest child by birth order, a Capricorn, a bourbon drinker at times," and obviously, a blogger.

So, what do I write about? A brief search of my tags suggests that I cover everything from living with a bipolar fiance to book writing, beauty to boredom. And many other things not beginning with the letter "b".

It's basically my life since age 30- drama, gay bars, friends & family, the Stillers, bad poetry, and a mighty fine 101 things about me, if I do say so myself.

Come visit. Sit a spell. Now, isn't that better?

Great to meet you all.
