About Me

WHO I AM: My name is Lyric Powers. Yes, really, it's on my birth certificate and all that. I have also been called (affectionately of course) HER HOLINESS, Lawless Lulu, Lulu, Lulubean, Missy, SW, Twist, Twi Twi, Lee-Lee, Eeya, Yic, Vagabond, Bullet Built for Revenge, Agent Provocateur, Tornado Girl, The Evil Puppetmaster, a whole slew of dirty words, and Mommy, at one time or another.
WHAT I AM: I am a mother, a daughter, a sister and an aunt. I am a lover and a friend. I am a web designer by trade and an artist by nature. I am a cult leader. I am co-owner of the best online community for fringey, counter-culture parents and families you'll ever find. I am a displaced Ohioan. And, as MySpace has taught me, I am unforgettable. So, if you're from Ohio and you're wondering if I'm that girl named Lyric you knew way back when, the answer is yes. I am totally silly and I love it when people take me seriously. I am a musichead, an art lover, and an avid reader. I am smart and a smartass. I am a shameless flirt. I am pretty shameless in general, actually. I am by turns a workaholic and incredibly lazy. I am a poet. I am not actually very talkative, but sometimes very wordy. I am prone to using the word "fuck" as frequently as possible. I am trouble. With a capital T. Which rhymes with P. Which stands for polyandrogyny.
WHAT I HAVE: I have a ridiculously cute, insanely smart five year old son, named Kiernan Ambrose. Yes, I got pregnant when I was 18. What can I say...I had a lot of sex. I have a fat ass cat, Milo, and a crazy ass cat, Tilaka. I am constantly at war with them, trying to keep my house from being completely covered with cat fur and litter. I have three siblings--two brothers and one sister--that I don't see nearly enough. I have a man that lives in my house that I occasionally see. I've had him for 8 years. I have four tattoos. I have a lot of freckles. I have a silly haircut and I like it, so there. I have a smile that makes my eyes all but disappear. I have a superhuge crazy family. I have my very own cult, called THE ORDER OF WIGGLING. I have great friends, who are also crazy, but in a more pleasant way than a lot of my family. I have the best SH. I have a collection of lunch boxes, a collection of model cars, and a collection of Elvis paraphernalia. The Elvis thing was not intentional. I have a lot of disdain for the following people : politicians (all of them, I don't care which side they align themselves with), fanatics, fundamentalists, other cult leaders, whiney complainy bitches, parents who medicate their children to keep them under control, people who expect me to fit a stereotype of any kind, people who say "lol" all the time, people who kiss my ass (without having the courtesy to bite it a little too), and people who add "j/k" to the end of a sentence. I have a hot mind and a hot ass. I have an allergy to bullshit.
THINGS TO LOOK AT: I am responsible for the layouts of the following MySpace profiles : Amanda Blankenship, Amanda Miller , Betsy Parks , Dieselwig , Evil Steve , Global Family Room , Heather Amend , Homestead Ranch , It All Makes Scents , Jessi Hayes , Julia Young , Kris Saknussemm , Lindsay Mizer , Mad Hatters' Review , Mark Lindeman , Nyle Brockway , Phil Abrams , Scott Clifton , Steve Koranda , Terri Beitzel , Terri Seilheimer .
My cult : THE ORDER OF WIGGLING

p.s. If you are a random stranger sending me a friend request, it is not likely that I will approve you. But, if I do, I expect you to actually speak to me. If you don't, you will be removed from my friends. A novel concept on MySpace, I know, but that's how I roll.
p.p.s. Yes, my number 1 friend is a 15 year old boy, but he's my little brother, so don't be getting any funny ideas.
