About
My name is Candi. I'm a 32-year-old redheaded Scorpio. I am married to a wonderful man named
Brian who is the love of
my life. We've been together for almost ten years (married for five). We live in Lawrence, Kansas, a hip little college town of about 90,000 that typically votes Democratic. I'm extremely passionate about politics and I send nasty (but eloquent!) letters to radical conservatives at all levels of government on a monthly basis.
We have the funniest little dog on the face of the earth. His name is Cheeto. We have two cats that I rescued, too. One is named Pismo, who came straight from the depths of HELL five or six years ago. The newest is Rowdy, who— aside from being aptly named— is part dog, part cat, part monkey, part sumo wrestler, and part opera singer. He is completely psycho.
I have a burning entrepreneurial spirit, as does my husband. We're both workaholics. I own three businesses: a web hosting, design and development company; a t-shirt printing business; and selling funny t-shirts for redheads. My husband owns a Macintosh consulting business. We're both workaholics.
I have a great sense of humor, but I'm cursed with an unusually low level of tolerance for idiots, so if your IQ doesn't exceed that of a petrified turd,
your interests would best be served by vacating the premises immediately.
- I'm easily amused and my website is proof of it.
- I love writing nasty little rants on various topics.
- I had to take them down because clients were finding my website.
- I bitch a lot, because it genuinely amuses me.
- I sit and people watch so I can make fun of them later.
- I am extremely anti-social, but not out of shyness.
- "The more people I meet, the more I like my dog" sums it up quite nicely.
- I have hundreds of acquaintances and only a handful of good friends.
- Sometimes I wake up knowing that my purpose in life is to infuriate others. It's an incredibly easy task that results in endless amounts of entertainment.
- I have a serious, almost frightening addiction to Diet Mountain Dew, chocolate, and cigarettes.
- I try to combat these bad habits by working out several times a week.
- I'm one of the few who actually enjoys it.
- I am a movie buff and watch damn near everything.
- I'm a voracious reader, an occasional writer, an avid aquarist, and a long-suffering but loyal Kansas City Chiefs fan.
- I simply adore Stephen King novels, rollercoasters, and purple ink pens.
- I'm a liberal with a healthy disdain for right-wing agendas.
- I prefer the term "progressive" over liberal.
- That way I can call Bush-following conservatives "regressive".
- Because they are.
- Bible-thumping zealots simultaneously annoy and amuse me.
- It's a damn good thing I find humor in it, because I live in the Bible Belt.
- Funny, don't you think?
Other pet peeves include:

- condescension and patronization
- political correctness

- militant anti-smokers
- passive/aggressive people
- people who don't understand the concept of "slower traffic keep right"
- people who don't know the difference between lose and loose, chose and choose, their and there - jesus, people, did you GO TO SCHOOL?!
- people who make vast assumptions based on what little they read on a website

- I come from a long line of artists and musicians but can't draw, paint, sing or play to save my life
- I graduated in the top 7% of my class
- I would have ranked higher had I not skipped so many classes in my senior year (yes, I still think it's funny, even now)
- I met my husband online
