Hey! If you like my work on Busted Business Bureau, I also do a bunch of other random stuff. As a multi-talented queen, you can't contain me to just one field.
PUBLISHED RESEARCH
I worked incredibly hard to publish this in an undergraduate journal; I'm proud of putting a piece of transgender-related academia out there that is 1) affirming and 2) unconcerned with explaining trans people's metaphysical existence.

JOHNNYCASHRULES32
When I was 11, I made a Johnny Cash Youtube Fanpage that has over 40 million views. There are two new videos that, while flops in comparison to my early work, are still artistically gorgeous. The page is kept nearly exactly how I had it when I was a kid.

ATHLETIC PEAK OF MY LIFE
One time in high school I really whooped another team at a softball game. Like, my team mates also did well, but I picked off several girls from behind the plate and had 9 RBI's. I remember almost nothing from the day other than I unleashed the beast.
