I'm Mik. Model, mother, moron. Future meta-magician. Former logic clinician.

My better half and I own Brainfood Bookstore in Longmont, Colorado. It is the only exclusively indie- and local-lit bookstore in the nation. We meet a lot of crazy folks.

Testimonial from a former roommate:
"Living with you was like living with a quiet little opinionated deer person who floated around like a ghost and said smart/nutso things and ate seaweed. "

I love Colorado. I love mountains. I love hiking. I read and write. I raise my children to the best of my ability. I have lupus and have defeated early-stage cancer twice, so I pretty much fully support the use of medical marijuana.

Hey Kim, did getting your tongue pierced hurt? I'm getting mine done next Tuesday, and I'm just curious as to how it's going to affect my upcoming life, haha. Did it swell? Also, how soon could you change the jewelry?

I have sensory integration disorder, which affects my perception of pain, so I didn’t even feel it. I didn’t even know they were done until they told me. It was a little swollen and sore for about two days, but the only real difference was that I learned that you shouldn’t eat wasabi the day after getting your tongue pierced. I have never changed the jewelry myself, I just went in for them to put the shorter stud in 2 weeks after getting it pierced (they originally use a longer stud to accomodate for swelling). Good luck! :)
