About Me

LATEST NEWS:---6/23/07--Wish-washy.

}
DISCLAIMER: FYI--- On my best days, I practice kindness, compassion, and love while acknowledging the potential and beauty in those around me... However, on average, I am selfish, a liar, ungrateful, self-piteous, and just get by while trying the best I can. Previously a severely damaged human being. Recently upgraded to a refurbished model with some minor defects that are repairable.

My Interests



THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD = Yoga, shy smiles, organic food, fresh flowers, dark chocolate, a clean house, a good cry, HOT baths, rain, driving around with no destination but armed with good music, giraffes, working up a sweat, playing dress up, eye contact, tea, Cohiba cigars, helping others, the way my pillow smells after my lover has left, private jokes, pre-tattoo adrenaline, water, making little kids smile, incense, unexpected days off, jokes about our current administration, being nice to strangers, freshly painted toenails, having the back of my neck touched. I HAVE AN INNER CHILD AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

I'd like to meet:

My highest self...and see if she'll stick around for awhile. And Stewie Griffin. Other than that, authentic and humble persons who can be truthful and kind at the same time. People who will be forgiving and patient with me. Merry-makers.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly...

Although I didn't choose my family of origin (not as a conscious being in this life anyway) when people ask me about them or I make mention of them, I am overcome with embarrassment.  I know that...
