if you're too lazy or don't care enough to read all about me on my website, then here's a quick rundown about me and this blog.

you may wonder.. what the hell is a glimmer smoke shape experiment?

if you're really wondering, i'm worried about you. i came up with this name in june of 1999, in a frenzied bout of magnetic poetry in my friend carrie's apartment near burlington, vermont. not that she lives there anymore. before i flew home, i wrote down all of my little bouts of genius. the orginal name of this blog was a very unispired "musings of the bored." i found my old journal and those scribblings.. and well, there you go. a blog was born.

i've been blogging since september 2000. if you care, there are archives.

and who am i? a brief biography.. the name is tara. i live in maryland. work for an accounting firm. {i'm not an accountant.. i just work there.} i am 25. i was born april 28, 1976 in tehran, iran. i have three cats. i have good friends. my best friend's name is nicole. we're attatched at the hip when we're together, which isn't very often, to my dismay. my other best friend's name is tony, who i work with. i see him almost every day, so he tends to get on my nerves. i enjoy reading good books and good tunes. i love to go for long walks. i travel like a munthanfunka. last year i went to europe for the first time. this year i'm going to toronto.. at least. i have no boyfriend, seeing as i have the tendecy to crave men who are either married or crazy. sometimes both. i hope to find a decent man soon. i love smelling pretty. i love music magazines. i love the kids in the hall and sketch comedy. i love most things canadian. i wonder if i'm saying "love" too much.

i dislike.. ignorance, assholes, people who can't drive. most teen pop. {i like the backstreet boys. shoot me.} carson daly. hmm. i like that i can't think of more things i hate. it's usually the other way around.

so, this is my half-assed "about page." now go off and do something productive, seeing as i just took two minutes of your life.
