My Amazon.com Wishlist

TO ANYONE REQUESTING TO BE FRIENDS:

If you post tons of those retarded chain letters, don't bother. I think they are a waste of time and space and am tired of them cluttering up my messages and bulletins Bands who are looking to maximize their friends list count, don't bother. However, I do like listening to music, so for all musical purposes, you can add my music myspace account .

I am in my mid-20's, born and raised in Maryland, recently divorced to an ex-navalman, dating a wonderful computer geek, and supporting my disabled father.

I'm an Associate Web Developer/Programmer for an eccentric Web Development firm. They call me the CSS/HTML guru, but I'm attempting to learn some l33t stuff.

I'm pagan and I have a lot of roots in Native American and Indo-European Spirituality. I am currently teaching myself Cherokee and Lakota-Sioux (osiyo!), and am the recently elected Senior Druid (President) of CedarLight Grove, ADF in Baltimore, MD. I'm passionate about religious freedom and being open and accepting to all lines of spirituality, despite being looked down on by even my own family for my spiritual path. I'm also a strong supporter of Native American rights and the American Indian Movement.

I play acoustic guitar and sing, and am currently working on my music portfolio. I love all types of metal and tribal music. I also play the djembe and have a spiritual fascination with most types of drums.

I'm obsessed with all things Medieval, and my favorite movie of all time is Conan: The Barbarian.

I am a naturalist and outdoors geek who loves to go camping and being out in the wild and wants to own her own organic grocery someday. I'm in love with primitive skills and wildcrafting, as nature is a spiritual thing to me.

I'm a tough trucks enthusiast with my own fleet of Ford trucks that consists of my 1978 Ford Bronco, my 1983 Ford Bronco, and my 1979 F-150 Shortbed. I also have a black 2004 mustang for my everyday driving.

I am anti-smoking, anti-drugs, anti-lush, a naturalist, anti-factory farming, pro-life but also pro-choice, pro-religious freedom, straight but not narrow.

Also feel free to add my new music myspace account:
