About Me



Rising Sign is in 04 Degrees Cancer: Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life; however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child, and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security -- in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

"We lived in a brown wooden house in the pine trees on the side of a mountain and at night there was frost so that there was thin ice over the water in the two pitchers on the dresser in the morning....There was a box of wood in the hall outside the living room and I kept up the fire from it. But we did not stay up very late. We went to bed in the dark in the big bedroom and when I was undressed I opened the windows and saw the night and the cold stars and the pine trees below the window and then got into bed as fast as I could. It was lovely in bed with the air so cold and clear and the night outside the window." Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms

IRA GLASS.
STUDS TERKEL.

A hypothetical hero would be somebody who made it possible for me to sit around and eat candy all day without getting fat, zitty, or diabetes. That person would be my biggest hero.
