Our cats love it too, so all must be right with the world.
I am not in my thirties anymore. I attempt to follow the lesbian handbook, paying careful attention to page 127, paragraph three (you know the one).

I am an applied sociologist, and a guitarist and songwriter (also from the handbook). I suck at softball, but think Ani Difranco rocks, so I am redeemed...
