Roxie Beane: The Person

My photo
Milwaukee, WI, United States
Your average cubicle dweller by day. Sarcastic and pigeon-toed. Often overly precise about the tiniest details - I exhaust myself. The ultimate Donna Summer fanatic. I love to laugh at things... silly things. I'm a grouch. Music makes and breaks me. For me, the world wide web is endless jubilee! Welcome to my blog. I'm Roxie Beane.
