(::Edited to add: I just got a letter from LauraJean saying they really like my set, they're working on it and they'll let me know in a few weeks if they can use it. 
Cross your fingers for me!!!)
it had to happen eventually ...
*20 fun facts about Salome*
1. Since I was about 7 or 8 I've been memorizing subway maps, collecting bus schedules, noting where the airport bus and Greyhound stations are in every place I've lived, so that when it comes time to escape, I'm ready.
2. I'm a nomad. I have lived in 5 different countries (US, Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, UK), and I usually don't stay in the same place longer than a year or two.
3. I can't decide what I want to be when I grow up either. I've worked as an office bitch, a journalist, a translator, a bookseller, a coffee maker, a stripper, a go-go dancer, an actress and a legal assistant.
4. Nor can I decide on a hair color. It's been black, brown, blond, red, plus I have a couple wigs.
5. I speak English, Russian and Spanish and need practice in all of them.
6. When I was 11 or 12 I developed something called trichotillomania (look it up) and it's something I still struggle with occasionally.
7. I've known for a while that I'm bi, but it wasn't until this May that I finally hooked up with a girl -- because my boyfriend set it up. In fact, he's set up all my hookups with girls because I'm too big of a pussy and too intimidated and shy around women I like to do it myself. I think that's one of the reasons I like SG
8. I used to be a bottom, but now I really enjoy being the top. Too bad crops and floggers (the nice ones, not that rubber crap) are so expensive.
9. I can't drink more than a glass of wine anymore. During a housewarming party in Moscow I downed two beers and 13 shots of vodka in three hours. Long story short, I woke up naked in the bathtub and couldn't eat for three days. That'll learn me.
10. Since coming back to the US in February I've developed stomach problems. Fuck, I used to be able to eat street food in Taiwan no problem, and now I have an ulcer and dairy upsets my stomach. Hmph.
11. I don't have a TV but I still watch Arrested Development, My Name is Earl, and Law and Order SVU every week. Hooray for torrents!
12. I am a huge nerd. If you let me into a used bookstore I will leave with stacks of books and NO cash in my wallet.
13. I'm a total goofball. My life is sort of like The Big Lebowski mixed with Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, except I laugh about it more.
14. Not that I'm a stoner. In fact, weed doesn't do anything for me. I only got high once, when a stoner friend made me eat 5 magic brownies in a sitting. It took me two hours to crawl from the couch to my bed, five feet away, I was that sick.
15. I want desperately to be an artist and to create things of beauty, like my mother. Unfortunately I inherited ZERO artistic talent.
16. My mother then consoles me by saying my creative talents lie in the domain of performance. I've wanted to be a professional actress on and off since childhood, and currently my only source of income is dancing: Latin, swing, ballroom, exotic, go-go and belly dance. (see my pictures)
17. I have one younger brother and two younger half-brothers who I love more than anything. The youngest is 16 years younger than I am; when he was tiny everyone used to think he was my son.
18. I also have a four-year-old goddaughter, my best friend's kid. Her name is Kaylee and she is absolutely the cutest, smartest child to ever walk the earth. Every time I go back to California to visit her we either go to the "pancake store" (IHOP) or Chili's. I gave her silver "princess shoes" for her birthday and she apparently has been wearing them every single day since.
19. I am writing this list to put off finishing my Master's thesis, due in January, which is the ostensible reason for quitting my crap job in the first place. Someone spank me and tell me to get back to work.
20. um ... running out of Interesting Things About Me. How about: When I strip I will dance only to metal, preferably White Zombie / Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Velvet Revolver. The DJs never have Clutch and you can't strip to Opeth anyway.
Cross your fingers for me!!!)
