About Me


Though I sometimes amble along, I'm neither mellow nor measured. Right now I am wearing powder blue cloud-print flannel pajamas, brown 'converse' tennis shoes over pink and green argyle socks and a black loose-knit chenille scarf. That pretty much sums me up.

But if you must know More...

I see auras, though now purely by chance. I meet and greet the dead, only not as often as I used to. I sleep naked, except on cold winter nights when I occasionally put wool socks on if there's no other warm flesh to tuck them into. I remember.
I forget. I move backward and forward, or at least think I do.
I once tried to walk through walls.
I have been a smoker, a lover, a fighter, a prostitute, an artist, a model, an activist, a student, a teacher, a vegetarian, an omnivore, one who swallows, one who never swallows, one who swallows a little some of the time, a partaker, a taker, a giver, a seeker, a healer, a time bomb, a bitch, a farce, a fraud, a radical, a liberal, a witch, a maiden, an innocent, a thief, a psychic, a widow, a dreamer, a cynic, lost, found, nowhere, nothing, a wife, a mother, a musician, a poet, a classicist, a compulsive truth teller, 38-D, 36-C, 34-B, 34-A, large, medium, small, extra small, vice president and now, thanks to Shannon, president.
I have never been arrested.

I thought I was going to be...

an actress
wealthier
enlightened
married for at least 20 good years

I still might be...

An incarnation of Jesus or Buddha
dead by 43
a visitor from a distant star
Your next Myspace Friend
I once had a handle... it was Tinkerbell... break, breaker 1-9, this is Tinkerbell, any smokeys out there?

If I add you as a friend it is because I love you, like you, find you noteworthy, like your style, or simply feel a sympathetic connection.

I rotate my friends to give everyone an equal opportunity at the top and a little extra exposure.

Order and placement is for the most part absolutely random, so please don't take it personally if you rise or fall. There will be a select few, however, close to my soul, heart or hometown with more or less a permanent spot; and still others for whom, because they are already outrageously famous, I don't deem the extra attention "at the top" necessary.

I like to share a good thing when I find it while trying to keep it as fair as possible.
- Yours truly

Leave me a message for all to see.

TRUTH..........
My true heroes are the ones who must face fear, tyranny, hunger, grief, oppression... every day.
It is unacceptable for any child to ever have to live in fear
It is unacceptable for anyone on this planet to go hungry or, worse, starve to death.
Genocide, in any form (Cultural, spiritual, biological), is Unacceptable
Support the real heroes of this world
"I am the face of a hero who needs your help"
Be a Hero; SAVE DARFUR
Courage.....
John Trudell

In 1979, while protesting the US government's policy on American Indian affairs, John Trudell burned an American Flag on the steps of FBI headquarters in Washington DC. Within a matter of hours his pregnant wife, three children and mother-in-law were killed in a suspicious fire on a Nevada reservation.
