About Me

I really only add people I know, have known, or I know I have known. If you don't actually know me outside of this internet thing, chances are pretty good that I won't add you. Sorry!
Come see my website!
There is too much. for those who know me, you are aware that this is true. For those of you who dont know me, I'll give you a taste:
I greatly dislike mayonnaise, no wait...I hate it.
I always sneeze three times whenever I walk into the sunlight.
I like all things campy and novelty.
I have a sort of sick obsession with Elvira and decoupage.
I am painfully resourceful and save everything I think I may be able to use someday.
I can be very unladylike and I make up stupid songs while I do household chores.
I am easily made homesick.
I eat as much meat as I can cram in my face.
I am compulsively driven to play Bingo every Monday with the cute old ladies in orthopedic hosiery and a few choice friends who can handle the pressure.
I enjoy sewing and make a lot of my own clothes.
I can sing along to just about any song that has ever been on the radio, especially from the 80's.
I collect vintage corset advertisements from the 1880's to the 1950's.
I floss my teeth and clean my ears WAY more than normal people.

I'd like to meet:

Pretty much anybody that likes what I like, and doesn't have excessive back hair. Good spellers are a plus, also must have good oral hygiene. I greatly appreciate those who properly enunciate when they speak. Also no overalls...that's just a bad idea unless you are a carpenter, house painter or are under the age of 10...but they sure look spiffy on Chadillac. Oh, and if you keep human remains in your freezer, I'd rather you keep that to yourself.

I can never fully wrap my mind around snow in Texas. Sure, I know it snows in the Panhandle, but it rarely dumps down in North Texas. Not only that, it is the thickest, clumpiest, wettest ...

Rainy days.

I almost can't remember a day when it didn't rain. I've always enjoyed the rain. It soothes me and I miss it when it's gone. The thought of it ending soon saddens me, while everyone around me is wa...

For some reason, the Law & Order episode that I am listening to (not really paying attention) has the captioning activated for blind people. So I really don't have to pay attention. You hear this pl...

My Valentine's Day

Okay...let me preface this with the fact that I am not usually a sappy romantic, nor do I buy into the materialistic guilt-ridden concept of Valentine's Day. I feel that you should do things for peop...
