Hey Ratgrrl! Cool! I'm a MASSIVE riot grrl fan, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinner, Bratmobile, Huggy Bear, the whole lot! You ever been to a Ladyfest?

GG xx

PS My name is the first one i could think of after I realised the last name I used (which was a cracker, by the way) could be recognised cos it was also the name of my band! I just had this horror that someone would type it into Google and it'd come up. ARGH! i dunno if I ever am a girly girl particularly. I spose it has got a kind of riotgrrl slant as well... ;-)
