I am here for Friends

About Me

So I hit 50 - I look 40ish; I act about 12...c'est la guerre. I have one daughter who is - shhhh - 2...er...2 and 8...ummm...28. Sigh. I have one live in boyfriend whom I love with all my heart - he is about 10 I would say...but really 37. He's an artist, a very good artist - which means he works as a custodian for a local school board but he has dreams... I'm also an artist but not as good - with a little hard wrok, I could have been a custodian too, but I had a kid to raise and I used to be married to Satan, so I had to find a better paying job. I've always been a fairly decent writer and I like computers - a natural geekette, I suppose - yes, love Star Trek, collect comic books and read science fiction. Anyhow, I discovered I had a knack for technical writing and here I've been for well over 15 years...writing manuals...wow... I live in an apartment with said male sweetie and two female cats - Pixel and Widget (told you I was a geek). I used to own a house...but then I trusted this lawyer and well...long story short, he's been disbarred, I am broke, my credit's been ruined, I'm in debt up to my eyeballs and I'm living in an apartment...I'll go into more detail about this later...it's an interesting if somewhat annoying story - as usual, I'll sort it all out...I always do..

My Interests

Wow...too many to afford...let's see - in no particular order: Writing sf, painting, drawing cartoons, reading, bicycling, hiking, traveling, collecting (sea shells, comics, books and music), zen buddhism, paganism, and other assorted "isms", pretending I csn use a camera, herbology, nature, interior decorating, cooking, alternate realities, film, flea markets (the real kind...not those run by ferengis), lving near the ocean...

I'd like to meet:

Andrew J.J. Marek, the lawyer who stole my money - I trusted him, we had several dealings prior, he lived in the same complex as we did, he knew my late husband (the good one - not Satan, who was my first), I was friendly with his wife...I am certain something extraordinary happened - I think he sacrificed his profession to protect someone else...and I suspect it was Teresa, his wife...but not sure how it all fits together..I desperately want to meet him and find out...
