 | about the author twenty-something barista whose road is still going on. started in buffalo, moved on to boston and now philadelphia, more or less. loves books front to back, manuscript to signatures, mass market to hardback, even went to school to learn how to make them but lacks the cred to call herself an editor. deals in coffee and coffee-related accessories, drinks it daily, can tell you all about c.a.f.e. practices, processing methods, growing regions and pairings but lacks the cred to call herself a black apron. in her free time she pretends to be a hobbit with a big bad shield and banded hauberk who yells at orcs, evil men, the dead and the occasional balrog and watcher in the water, and she thinks it's fun but lacks the cred to call herself a gamer. married to a canadiandiamond and currently in the process of shifting herself to his side. she does not lack the cred to call herself an honourary canadian.
not maura tierney, just thinks she's pretty.

favorite quotes, to fill space A friend is one before whom I may think aloud. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams. --Hamlet
I wear my shadows where they're harder to see But they follow me everywhere I guess that should tell me that I'm travelling toward light I guess something you sang made me remember that I guess I'm saying thanks for that --"Birmingham Shadows," Bruce Cockburn
But you are a very very good Moose-- ciliandis

canadiandiamond: You're, like, the coolest American ever.
canadiandiamond: Heeee, aww, of course you're not awful. But I'm great!
Abby: I can't follow through on anything. When something gets in my way, it's like a chemical reaction, I just shut down and I give up. I'm just looking for an excuse to stop because in the end, it's easier to do than risk being hurt or disappointed again.
