Cancer

In a nutshell, http://www.laurenwheeler.com.

I'm a video game producer, recovering slam poet, improv comedienne, and go-go dancer. I like to play around behind a set of Technics and am determined to bring about the uprock revival in clubs all over San Francisco.

I love living it up and taking it slow, though not at the same time. Also, I want to join the circus and am fond of staring into space. I like to giggle.

When asked if the glass is half-full or half-empty, my usual reply is that I'm taking twice-hourly measurements. I have a pit bull named Java the Mutt and want to be a dog in my next life.

Artists, writers, musicians, dancers, teachers, coders, "idea" people, and other witty, rhythmic members of The Intelligentsia. Fun, laid-back folks with a sense of humor: come on in. Drama monarchs: closed for business. Good-natured snark is always a plus.
