About Me

Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

So...I'm a single mom and a nursing student in the process of losing her damned mind. I lost my composure a long time ago, but I find life is more fun that way anyhow. It's hard work raising a superhero. It all makes me a little loopy. style type="text/css" .layout {

My Interests

I remember when I used to have interests......reading, drinking caffeinated beverages and doing the crossword puzzle, awkward social situations I'm a master at those, running, photography, studying... I know its sick, hanging out with my little boy, walking my dog when I have time, firing up the mp3 player and dancing around the house, (I'm an amazing dancer) composting... I have an unnatural fixation with watching things decompose, gardening, gardening, gardening, I have an understandable fixation with watching things grow, taking off my clothes and standing in front of the mirror until I see something I like... sometimes it takes days, landscaping, nursing- both kinds!!!, I'm a breastfeeding champion! YOu should see my trophy. redheads-I have too many to count, but I especially like the drunken lecherous, philandering ones. doing things I shouldn't, writing letters I never intend to send, but sending them anyway. sleeping a lot, listening to music, full frontal male nudity, you know, the basics. And of course... ISAIAH ISAIAH ISAIAH.... he is my life.

I'd like to meet:

Guys with spider webs tattooed on their elbows and Audrey Hollander...duh, she takes two in the butt

Music:

holy crap, in no particualar order... bob dylan, beck, tom waits, ben folds, citizen cope (don't laugh.... he nodded out on my face once,) ani, we're on a first name basis, she and I, stevie wonder, gillian welch, john prine, ryan adams, portishead, brett dennon-one of my three favorite redheads.bright eyes, the talking heads, ween, cat stevens, joni mitchell, alice smith... she fucking rocks. otis redding, mike doughty,jem, erin mckeown, parliament funkadelic baby, james mcmurtry,alexi murdoch, my morning jacket, lucinda williams, blind melon, solomon burke, damien rice, air, ray lamontagne, outkast, patty griffin, paul simon, jolie holland, the violent femmes (for old time's sake) bob marley and the wailers, jim white, tv on the radio,jonny cash, neil young, the dead, the white stripes, modest mouse, lucero, aerial M(is that a band?), the allman bros., al greene,brandi carlisle, oh yeah, and willie nelson for Isaiah, and as much as I hate to admit it...the drive by truckers.

Movies:

harold and maude, american beauty, kinsey, garden state, no time for movies...

Television:

I don't have a television. It broke. I still find a lot of joy, however, in sitting in the rocking chair and staring mindlessly at the broken television.

Books:

most recently, "reading lolita in tehran"- an excellent book, I highly reccomend it. "a short history of nearly everything" by bill bryson, memoirs of a geisha, "The motorcycle diaries". It's a publication of che guevera's journal writings during his travels in south america as a youngin, (also excellent) "the red tent" by anita diamant, "baby catcher" by Peggy Vincent is an excellent choice for anyone interested in natural childbirth, or childbirth in general, anything by Tom Robbins: "Even cowgirls get the blues" is a great way to start, "prodigal summer" by barbara kingsolver, "chronicles" by bob dylan, "Lasher" by anne rice, if can get past the incest invovling a thirteen year old girl, its a good read

Heroes:

WALKER TEXAS RANGER

adendum to sooo.

Soooo.....

The HESI is in two days. I just sat here in the dark with my calculator figuring up every possible score and how it would affect my grade. 1000 out of 1158 points would give me the 86% I need to get a...

I like this coffee cup.

Its wide enough I  can wrap both my hands around it and they don't touch. I can almost dip my whole face in it, when I get to the bottom of the cup where all the sugar settles. Its sweet and it f...

So I got a 98 on my nursing test, yesterday.  I only missed one question. That's like unheard of. That's like turning water into wine. Nursing tests aren't like regular tests. You have to fill ou...
