I'm pregnant! check out my blog at tessence.blogspot.com.

Creative, nonconformist, a bit shy. Nerdy. Sassy. I like
The Unbearable Lightness of Being not just because i
invented a drinking game to go with it but also because it
perfectly
describes how i feel about life -- there's a million whole
separate lives i want to live and i'm mad that i have to
pick one and stick with it. I wanna be a literary
translator, a novelist, an anthropologist, an actress, a
figure skater,
and John Cusack's girlfriend. But until i get around to
that stuff, i like writing for the Chronicle and being
married to Erik, who is actually better than John Cusack
in
many ways.
My therapist says it's very important for me to always be
right. She's wrong about that, though.

oh, i hate meeting people.
