About Me

OHIO COLLEGE STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS 18 AND UP, AND ANY OTHER OHIO RESIDENT NEWLY ELIGIBLE TO VOTE, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!!!!
Ohio has joined the ranks of the states that allow people to vote early. They are also allowing same day registration and voting. Come on OSU, Ohio U, Cleveland State and all you others out there. They could not have made it any easier for you. Get out and vote in October!
John McCain is NO choice for Women. I may not agree with the pro-choice part, but the contraception, education, and healthcare parts are essential rights for all of us, women AND men and must be protected.

Quotes:
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
--The Buddha
Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place,
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away,
Where culture's defined by the ones least refined,
And you'll be left behind if you don't fit in.
It's all distorted in Americana my way.
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away.
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait.
My future's determined by thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion but it's okay.
Everything's backwards in Americana my way.
My rights are denied by those least qualified,
Trading profit for pride but it's okay.
Everything's backwards in Americana my way.
--The Offspring

My Interests

Live Action Role Play...I'm so low on the totem pole of geeks that other geeks point at me and laugh. But I love it. Been a proud Camarilla member for two years now! Also love table top roleplay, especially other White Wolf stuff, and Dungeons and Dragons, v. 3.5 baby. I'm a Buddhist and a Unitarian Universalist . Yes, I am a bleeding heart liberal and modern day hippie. I'm against the war in Iraq. I'm for gay marriage. I want Barack Obama as president of the U.S. But I am anti-abortion...except I don't believe in killing people over it. Education is the solution to almost all of our social ills, including killing babies. So is proper contraception use. I'm also skeptical of most new-agey stuff, including seeing auras and psychic 'phenomena'.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is creative and fun, into thinking about deep and profound things, and has an open mind and a big heart.

Music:

Currently in my collection: Evanescence, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Flaw, 30 Seconds to Mars, Crossfade, Live, Dido, Breaking Benjamin, Cold, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Forest for the Trees, Savage Garden

Movies:

The Last Unicorn

Television:

House, The Closer, Project Runway, Top Chef, Law and Order (all of them), The Naked Archaeologist, Mythbusters

Books:

Haven't read a Neil Gaiman book I didn't like. Liked the Harry Potter series but am not as obsessed as some. Anything by Peter S. Beagle

Heroes:

The Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Barack and Michelle Obama, Dan Savage, my mom.

My Blog

In the past five years

Here is how I've changed in the past five years (besides the obvious married and a mom): My hair is black. I've become an Eagles fan, but that's less about football and more about Philly love. I've ha...

Wow...people actually bought my stuff

I sold four necklaces at the US Cam Con this past weekend. I also got a good idea of what people are interested in and what they're not. So I have my site down temporarily until I can create more. Tha...

Never mind the last entry

I got a website at Freewebs.com. It's brilliant; even a total novice can create a good looking site, and it gives easy instructions for using the tools to create a virtual shopping cart like most prof...

Do you know a good web host?

I am considering opening my own website for the store as opposed to using the Etsy site. Shopping there requires opening an account. While that is free, the time required to fill out information deter...
