About Me

I'm not very good at giving a straight up description of myself. I'd prefer that other people make the first statement, leaving me room to react, either to blush and say thanks or to jump in and correct. I guess I'm sitting on the outside looking in.. but always looking for a kindred spirit. I'm not conventional or judgemental except when it comes to conventional judgemental types. I've recently been likened to Kate Winslet (personality I guess, since she's stunning and I'm, humbly, not) but prior to that, if ever there was a fictional character I could relate to most, it would be Bridget Jones. Well intentioned klutz with a definite lack of self discipline.Myspace Layouts

Before you throw the baby out with the bathwater

Following last night's airing of the great global warming swindle (I think an over the top attempt by the ABC to pander to the anti-bias bullies), I fear that there will be some who will believe that...
