About Me

When I was little, I thought that if I jumped high enough and pedaled my legs I would be able to fly. I love Spongebob. I love peanut butter and books about suicide. Wal-Mart makes me crazy. I'm obsessed with skin care products. I build my own furniture. I'm attracted to self-sufficient people. I have a Chihuahua named after a star. I failed Home Ec. One day soon, I will live in a solar/wind powered house on a hill and own an electric car. When I was little I wanted to live in a cave. Fred and Barney are my peeps. I think Barney was cheated out of a recording contract.
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us the â€˜Universeâ€™, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, and something separated from the rest â€“ a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Fire and Carjackers

I had a nightmare the other night that I was carjacked and the carjackers drove off with my novel in the trunk of the car. Even if it was just a dream, it hit a little too close to home because I've r...
