This page was created to help me in my ongoing quest for weirdness, quotes, and, of course, otherworldly beings. Found any of these? Send them to me at TheCheshireCat03@aol.com now! And now, on to the profile!

Greetings, bizarre earthlings. I am Phoebe, aka the Alien, aka the Cheshire Cat. Unfortunately, I do count myself among your numbers, and occasionally do a good job of maintaining a semblance of normalcy. Of course, I am also calmly awaiting the arrival of extraterrestrial biological entities (you know, aliens, little green men, etc.) with the hope that they will take me away with them. In the meantime, I hang out with friends, talk and laugh to excess, wander around my hometown NYC, sing Broadway songs loudly in public places, sleep in the locker hallways at my school (which is known as HCHS, the Hunter Psychological Testing Facility, and the Brick Prison, alternately), waste time at TADA! theater, and obsess over LotR. Are we having fun yet?
