| Name: | Mari Ness |
| Location: | Florida, United States |
| Bio: | Greetings, and welcome to my small corner of LiveJournal. I'm a speculative fiction writer, marine biology grad student, devourer of books, movie freak, general geek, and multiple other things, depending upon the time of day, the time of year, the time of the week, and the amount of coffee and chocolate in my system. I have been gifted with the friendship of two remarkable cats: The Little One, who loves you and thinks he should be in your lap right now, and the Grey One, who does not love you and thinks you should admire her beauty at a safe distance right now. Both of them have a tendency to walk into my journal and on multiple pieces of furniture that they probably shouldn't be walking on. And I have just the tiniest, tiniest little obsession with The Lord of the Rings films.

In November 2006, this blog started tracking the activities of demented killer squirrels. Watch the madness with me. And if you need a general feel for the blog, other notable posts from 2002-early 2007 are listed here.
Oh, and my friending policy, in so far as I have one, is quixotic at best, but rest assured, if you're reading me, I'm reading you, just possibly not on a regular basis. |
