Well behaved women rarely make history.

About Me

At the tender age of three, I wanted to be a pirate. At the time, I was unaware that marauding on the high seas had long gone out of fashion. Not really interested in the felonies associated with modern day buccaneering, I turned to science instead. Never discouraged by best laid plans gone awry… I can now be found saving the world one- species at a time, sailing under my own black flag.

My Interests

Throw a rock you'll hit one- from fire eating for fun and profit to bagpiping!

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Yes, PLEASE!

Movies:

I heart zombie movies...(and kung fu movies rule too.)

Television:

I don't own one. My favorite invention is the hi-fi...you can play these groovy things called records on it too!

Books:

It's hard to be a literature snob when I still read comic books. I will deny the rumours that I secretly read trashy fashion magazines in the bath- I don't even own a bath tub.

Heroes:

My grandma...Thelma Burnett Wilson, adventuress and cow-girl 'til the end. Happy trails, Thel! See you down the road.

My Blog

Another year. Another list.

The Sound of One Hand Clapping

If loving me was easy everybody would be doing it.

My mama always said if you don't have anything nice to say...keep your fuckin' mouth shut. (I'm sure she said it nicer than that pardon the embellishment and verbal diarrhea as I speak from my torture...

33 trips around the sun complete!

I am amazed and sometimes appalled that I have ended up right back where I started from in more ways than one- spiritually, financially, and emotionally drained to name a few. But ever trying to ...
