About Me

My name is AnnMarie. I am an Interactive Designer in Central Mass. I make purty pictures on the computer, and break them into tiny pieces, and code them, and hack browsers, and mess with the servers. And attend meetings with cookie buffets. It’s all in a day’s work.

In addition, I have a 4 year old son and a 25 year old boyfriend, so my life is pretty much insane. I work my ass off, I don’t sleep, I can carry 7 bags of trash at once out to the curb in stilettos with a 40lb kid on my back, I can de-bug code with my eyes closed, and I make a pretty mean baked ziti. Whatcha got! All I need is a golden lasso and an invisible jet, and I’d be fucking Wonder Woman.

I’m also the most accident-prone person you’ll ever meet. I fall over walking in flip-flops, I get in at least one car accident a year, I sit on wet paint, I eat random sandwiches I find in the hallways at work and get food poisoning on a regular basis… you name it, it happens to me. I think it’s pretty awesome, in a “nothing I can damn well do about it” kind of way.

I’m not huge into writing about myself, it makes me feel like kindof an ass, so instead I’ll give you a list of some of my finer qualities to round out the whole picture:

  • I really, REALLY wish I knew karate.
  • I can code in 7 different programming or mark-up languages. Or at least 7 that I can think of off the top of my head. There’s probably more, who knows.
  • I say extremely odd things. A lot. I try to warn people of this when they meet me, but it’s really something you’ve got to experience for yourself.
  • I swear like a sailor.
  • I don’t use telephones. I’m not kidding.
  • I also don’t know how to use a copier. Or a faxer. I need supervision. It once took me 45min to copy a 10 page document.
