About Me
My name’s Michelle, but everybody calls me Mush (rhymes with lush, not bush). I was born in 1968 in Kennewick, Washington. I live in the US and am of English, Irish, and Scandinavian decent. I live with my awesome 87-year-old maternal grandmother and my awesome dog in Walla Walla, Washington. My spiritual name, which I received from Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, is Tanusri, and it means “embodiment of beauty.”
I’m legally separated, but probably won’t bother getting divorced until The Ex decides he wants to remarry and needs the paperwork. I used to live in an Iowa town called Batavia, in the big old farm house on 27 acres that I quit-claimed to him when I left the marriage because I don’t want to have anything to do with that damned house ever again so help me God what a freakin’ debacle that place was.
In college, I majored in classical voice, and later literature and then history, but now I’m an out-of-work Internet technician. I know a lot about how the innertubez work, and have in my time had root on a great many Linux boxen.
I’ve been maintaining this site for almost a decade. The domain name was registered on March 9, 2001 and the site contains thousands of entries and millions of words.
I’m a blues and R&B singer.
I’m a vegetarian. I’m left-handed, Hindu, extroverted, silly, and I adore reading and taking naps and sci-fi and singing and drinking mugs of tea.
My hobbies are collecting small electronic devices, maintaining this web site, vintage cameras, knitting, writing, bento, and cooking. I do not like cleaning house, being broke, foods with weird textures, car crashes, or incisions (even though I had a really good time getting my wisdom teeth extracted, what with the intravenous Valium and all). My talent is swimsuit and I want to be a veterinarian because I love children.
