Keeping myself out of trouble without taking Lexapro, Paxil, Wellbutrin, or any other damn thing that is made by 'man'. God provides my medicine. I like things a certain way; however, when the universe shifts, like most of us, I also shift. An exception to that rule is when everything in my soul tells me not to shift, but to countershift - - or even completely lay down on the other side (which, more often than not, will be the Left)..
I'd like to meet:
Often mistaken as arrogant, I'm easily disgusted by most people, but if you can rock my brain or anything else that's above my waist, as well as make my feet move (which just happen to be attached to my legs), I might make an exception. If you come to my party, don't whine, puke in my house, piss yourself, fight, or grab my sexy parts without being winked at. I'm loyal and true to my good friends and would probably take a bullet for them. On the other hand, abuse my friendship and it will take alot of convincing to get me to trust you again. I hate self-important blowhards, men who beat women, cheaters, liars, hillbillies, rednecks (cheeze-heads r ok). I draw, paint, write, make flowers into high-style art, design 4:20 clothing, am learning Spanish (a ssshhorrttt time to learn, a lftm to master), play the congas, write music and poetry, dance (as well as my ag-ed body will let me, and weave yarn into warm and comforting shapes. I have a pretty fair life and few, but genuine friends. . .

Not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
