More About Me: I Like Eating

It should be mentioned that I love eating. If my waistline doesn't give it away, then maybe the constant food stains, and mouthful while talking might. If that's not enough for you then I'll also mention that I used to answer to the name Yum. I mean, who in the world answers to the name Yum? And if that's still not enough, then I'll also bring up the fact that for years I drew everything I ate. And I can even tell you that eight years ago today I ate a sesame bagel, a quesadilla, popcorn, and future pasta. I apparently also saw that movie Chicken Run for free. I don't even remember seeing it, but it apparently wasn't any good.

Hello, Is This Thing On?

As you might have deduced, my name is sabs.

Only that's not totally true. I was actually born Sabrina, and haven't legally changed my name to sabs, so it's not true at all. But just go with it, okay? My name is sabs. It's just easier that way. Who needs all those syllables anyway?

Now that we've got that out of the way, I'll spill the beans and tell you all about myself.

I'm a nerd. It's true, I once programmed my C64 to say "Happy Birthday Sabrina!" over and over. I was four.
According to my pal Jeff I like "depressingly, brooding, epic music." -- also true, some of my fave bands include Blur (circa Blur), The Dears, and Sigur Ros.
I love traveling. I'm lucky enough to have seen many different countries. My favorite country is probably Iceland, although I do have a special place in my heart for Taiwan. Mostly I like going places to visit their grocery stores and eat all their food.
I'm not quite a native Californian (we moved here when I was about one, and have no memories of life prior to that) and I currently live in San Francisco. I have a pretty cute house with one of those elusive SF backyards. I live there with Randall. He and I are getting married soon.
I'm a banana slug who double majored in Computer Science and Art/Photography. I'm not totally sure any of my jobs have ever really utilized my education to its full capacity.
I have a freckle in my left eye. I also have a ton of them on my face. Other than these constantly emerging freckles, I have pretty much looked the same since I was a kid.
And finally, I turned thirty this year. I am trying not to be a gross aging hipster, but I am also trying not to wear mom jeans. God help us all.
