And You Call Yourself Intense!

About Me

This is "Open House For Butterflys." Which is actually the title of my favorite children's book. I am a smoker from age 11, and I still attempt valiantly to kick it! I am a Celtic Woman Warrior, will show scars on request.I'm patient (when I'm not being bipolar) and I love to write. I collect peoples' stories in my heart and am making a composite person with them. That's my long term.On the short side, I laugh a lot, mostly at myself. I live alone (having one's own bathroom is sublime) and feed squirrels and birds. I think that I'm unshockable. Try me. On second thought, please spare me! You might just be able to shock me after all!Slainte!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

LUCY (Australopithicus africanes) Homo Sapiens, Old World Apes, Stephen Hawkins, Elvis Costello, Halle Berry and YOU. And my 5th grade teacher, Mr. Jones, one last time to thank him for freeing my mind. Would love to meet my father's mother just one more time. Also, Barak Obama, Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein) and Nikki Giovanni, Peter Cushing, Eric Bana.

Cup Runneth Over!

For those of you friends (of mine) who don't yet know, I am bipolar.  There is so much press out on this disorder, that I won't regale you with details.  I've been faithfully taking my medic...

Why Wiccan

Here it is Christmas and my "search for the deeper meaning,"  I think for a long time I was Christian by default - it was the easiest thing to do.  Before my Mom embraced Wicca, she was a Su...

The Fix It Man

Only brother of mine - the only male in a house of four females - not too many of them capable at mechanical things in the house, maybe really none of them.  When he went to Special Forces school...

Desert Desolation

Too well I thought I was "above it all."  Nobody could ever compare to my Ex in my eyes, and besides I was tired.  Tired of being polite, and careful, and not saying the dread words that wou...
