It's more than an off-brand Lilith Fair - And it's less than love - It's what I give to you... DiFra

About Me

thrilled that i have a closet, a bathroom and bed. basic things that i have not been able to claim as my own for nearly three years.

i thank my lucky stars for those who have made this possible. still lots to do, but getting closer to the housewarming party daily. i will keep you posted.

+++

i like researching things.

i've started cooking. i'm not very good and i'm super slow. but i'm trying and i'm getting better.

I miss my dog. and cat.

+++

despite the vomit, i love this song and video.

My Interests

i'm interested in fully moving into my house.

i'm also interested in our future on a larger scale...

current trends do not bode well.

I'd like to meet:
