I am anji.

I'm here to help write an encyclopedia by contributing what I know and can cite sources for, and by proofreading articles I don't understand. By doing this for the last little while, I've discovered that it takes a few edits for me to get it straight.

I work at HPP Ink in Eugene, Oregon. I've been a tattoo artist for ten years. My friends and clients call me the Cap'm.

I am resonanteye everywhere I go.

interests, past excursions, and areas of knowledge (if you are interested)

• nonfiction and fiction including scifi but not including romantic works
• punk rock, death metal, free jazz, polka, creepy folk music, and operatic experimental sounds
• making claymation
• oil painting
• the mutter museum, plastination, and home taxidermy
• "primitive skills"-wilderness survival, stone toolmaking, slingshotsa, trepanation, home :surgery and dentistry (this is an area of knowledge, not a hobby...fortunately)
