: About Me

My name is Annette Partida. I only write with a force of nature. I live in China. Pick fights with small children. Drink beer and enjoy verbal and creative sparring with just about anybody. I like music, sweaty boys, and full moons in July.

Any other questions, just ask. I swear, I won't laugh at you. OK, maybe just a little.

My passion is ...

dancing til the sun comes up.

I know too much about ...

making and keeping my friends around.

My parents always told me ...

I would do great things.

My childhood ambition ...

was to stay up as late as possible.

My favorite memory ...

telling Tony Nelson, after five years, on St. Patrick's day in San Francisco I was in love with him.

Why I write ...

I would drop dead if I didn't.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Wasted days, wasted nights -Freddy Fender

My first job ...

putting up with the rants of paying customers at a seafood restaurant in downtown Sacramento.

My best moment ...

was giving a speech to the California Faculty Union. All of my judgemental professor's mouths dropped when they hear me belt out my rhetoric.

My inspiration ...

is my hardworking mother. She bled, slaved at three jobs and strived for me, so that I would live the life she never could.

Jim is your grandfather's weird friend that comes over for Thanksgiving dinner, because he has no where else to go. He is the Chilli Willie character from the Looney Toons. He is the wart that returns after you have poured acid and used a blow torc...
