I'm a writer; songs, blogs, big long emails. I'm a performer; guitar player/songstress, cabaret singing, acting, improv. I love theater, and music, and movies, and yoga, and philosophies, and cooking. I love talking, unraveling, debating, expanding. Laughing my ass off. I really, really love being with people; family and friends...

I'm looking for a long term... boyfriend, husband. A kind, sane man. Someone sparkly. Extraordinary. And grounded. With a sense of fun and joy in life, someone who is honest and responsible in their communications, and who listens well.Warmth, kindness, tolerance in the world. And crazy about me…always a plus.
I want to be kissed by someone who thinks I am so wonderful, so beautiful, so amazing, that they cannot bear the thought of another moment going by without kissing me.
"For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep, you never want to come up for air. -- Grey's Anatomy
A Blog to Boys
February 4, 2006
To all of you from all of us,
(ahem.)
We're sorry.
Really, really apologize here.
Sorry that sometimes we are insane.
that we get really really mad at you and
don't tell you why
and are mad at you for not knowing why
or for not knowing how to fix it
and then when we DO tell you
and you DO fix it
we are mad that we had to tell you.
We are complicated
and tricky
and really
it's not your fault
that we count on you so much
to make us feel good
and that we often
take you down in the process
of getting our own needs met.
You'd think we'd have all worked this out a long time ago
this misunderstanding between the genders
and in case you haven't noticed
it crosses all relationship types
sister brother
lover
friends
co-workers
Sometimes we (the women)
just have to operate under the assumption that you
(the men)
just suck.
Because you often do.
Sorry about that.
Sorry we are so needy
Sorry we want your attention
and approval
and attention again
so so badly
We know that you just want us happy
Because your lives are so much better
when we are happy
but you get it wrong a lot
And we are quite unforgiving of that
plus we want to keep talking about it
a
lot!
So
Again
Sorry.
Really sorry.
Please don't give up on us
keep loving us
and we will try to do the same
even when we are so angry we want to rip out body parts
and you are so frustrated you never want to speak to us
really.
sorry.
Love,
the women
