Take me to the Double Down!

About Me

The 2008 Dreams and what I believe even though it could change tomorrow: I have learned that health is always harder but always worth it! I want to love and be loved! When I grow up I want to be a Wife, Mother to maybe Foster and/or Adoptive kids, Pastor (not a pastor's wife), Artist, Grief Counselor, Daughter, Sister and Friend. I want to always be surrounded and involved in the lives of teenagers. I want to always consider and add to my thoughts, beliefs, and opinions and especially consider the wisdom of the old and the young. I believe that Children and Elderly people are the BEST teachers, if you pay attention! I want to facilitate groups that use The Artist Way, by Julia Cameron, process on a continual basis. I want to take at least one class at Art Center in Pasadena. I want to work on movies and have my name in the credits some day. I believe in a three part God. God the Father, God the Mother Holy Spirit, and Jesus the Son. If you haven't met Jesus read Lamb by Christopher Moore. If you only know Jesus by the Bible read Lamb by Christopher Moore. If you are easily offended beware of Lamb by Christopher Moore but read it anyways! I want to worship God thought dance and art! I want to spend time in Italy, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, China, Ireland, New Zealand (with a visit to Australia to see the Drag Queens) and take a cruise to Alaska. I would like to live in NY in The Village for 1 to 6 months. These things are sacred to me so please don't try to bullshit me about them or make fun of them. These are the things I plan to pursue and only want to hear from you about them if you want to support and encourage me. And I do not want your opinion until I ask for it!Also, I wrote this years ago when I first got on friendster, and have edited a bit, but it still totally applies: I love music, art, live shows, theater, movies, painting, drawing, working with crayons, being alone, being with people, hanging out with God, family, friends, x-boyfriends, protests, dancing, Hollywood, Boston, Portland, Denver, New York cause Kelly's there, London cause Jen's there, AZ and Hawaii cause family is there, the Dana Point Harbor where I get my wind kisses from God, punk-mod-emo-goth-rockabilly kids, church, my apartment, people and nature!I adore Vern!
