I've been thinking all day that I need to update my webpage. Came up with lots of great ideas, too. And not a one of them has survived the killer summer heat.

I'm Robin. I sorta live here. I could sit here and type a million sentences that begin with the word "I" in an attempt to tell you who I am, but what fun is that? How's about I make a list of the important stuff you need to know? Will that work for ya? It had better.

1. My birthday's October 22, 1972, and I can't decide if I'm a Libra or a Scorpio. Most of the time, I'm both.

2. I've never lived anywhere but Missouri.

3. I have a tattoo.

4. I drink far too much coffee.(I'm dating a guy whose email address begins "decafisevil", if that tells you anything.)

5. I'm a moderator for the teenage girls forum at Pleiades Network,a collection of women's forums. I take great delight in beating the cyber-snot out of guys who have nothing better to do on the weekend than pick on a bunch of adolescent girls.

6. I have a bizzare fixation on the 1950s, which is ironic, since I'm a liberal feminist.

7. Speaking of being a feminist, I usually thank people when they call me a bitch.

8. I'm writing my first novel..

9. Although I've always been a religious skeptic, I'm finding a lot of things I like about Buddhism.

10. The girl sitting next to me in the computer lab has horribly bad breath. It smells like my grandmother's attic. I know, you didn't need to know that, and it doesn't say much about me, but it's getting on my nerves.

11. A lot of my friends are lesbian and gay. If this bothers you, tough.

12. I adore Mystery Science Theater 3000.

13. Martha Stewart's my hero.

14. Beer is good. Veeeeeeeeeery good.

15. I'm redneck enough to really love Nascar racing. Either that, or I was successfully brainwashed by my dad.

16. I think The Darwin Awards are a scream.

17. Not that I'm obsessed, but I'm going to Lilith Fair three times this summer. Okay, I am obsessed.

18. The wannabe d.j. in me loves making mix tapes for my friends. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

19. Since I'm a writer, the Bulwer-Lytton Bad Writing Awards are a huge ego boost. Yes, it makes me feel better to laugh at the untalented. Does that make me a bad person?

20. Drag queens love me, and I love them. I think that they think I'm one of them.

21. Candye Kane's another hero of mine.

22. I'm not the mushy, romantic type, but I'm ga-ga over my darling Brian

23. I'm still not done.
