“Teenage angst has served me well; now I’m bored and old.”
Serve the Servants, Nirvana

Lori was born half a world away in Taipei, grew up utterly bored in the suburbs of Orlando, and has spent the last couple of years making up for it in Atlanta.

She received her master’s degree in a subject no one really cares about and went to a school without a football team. Usually found intown at the Arizona Pub with beer in hand, she believes a balanced diet will always include pizza, sells wedding invitations online, and is usually constipated.

When she moved to Atlanta, she had no friends. She initially invited a couple of bloggers she casually stalked, er… met, on ye olde internet to meet up at The Righteous Room on January 14, 2005, in an attempt to find friends in a new city. Strangely, they found themselves talking about things other than blogs and their love of the drink. The Atlanta Bloggers (APWBWGTTD) continue to meet up monthly at Atlanta’s finest bars and pubs. Our numbers are large and our stances are varied, but we are first and foremost a family bound by nerd-dom.

She is married to a handsome bearded gentleman and mother to the cutest little baby girl of all time.
