My Lament

nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it

About Me

I'VE LOST 130 POUNDS IN 12 MONTHS ON THE STRESS* DIET!! *the stress diet is not for everyone. May cause heart failure, dried up tear ducts and permanent dark circles under the eyes.

"Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of" (can anyone tell me what movie that quote is from?)

What shall I share? I'm DIFFERENT. I like things OUT OF THE NORM. That said... I've decided to revamp my little profile. I wanted to let someone write it for me but I'm far too self absorbed for that... *wink* I'm a geek really, but I LOVE it. I enjoy dorky stuff. Somehow the stuff I thought was dorky about myself, has suddenly became the "cool" thing to be into, though.... Computers, 80's music, gothic music, industrial,... etc... stuff that was never mainstream, science, politics, reading, photography, & spending hours at the art museum. I love listening to music and singing in my car in the middle of nowhere for no reason. I love to read cook books, Martha Stewart magazines, and I like to browse patterns for sewing (I can't sew, yet). Trying to "domesticate" myself by osmosis actually. I've never been a domestic goddess by any means. But at some point I need to grow up, right?I make lists for everything, but never look at them or cross anything off of them. I just like to put down what I want to do. If I get it done, great. If not, I don't sweat it. I love to put makeup on just about anyone - yes, that means you too, guys! I love to do karaoke but would rather have a band. I have vivid wild dreams that I often write about in my regular journal. The dreams could easily be hit movies. I love to share my thoughts when asked my opinion. I'm very opinionated and stubborn w/ my thoughts and ideas, though I always am appreciative/respectful of others ideas. I'd like to avoid being around people who use hard drugs or have any serious addictions. I also dislike *liars and *cheaters. *been there, had it done to me, thanks anyways*I'm changing as each day passes and feel myself becoming a new person. A better person in and out. Watch for it. TRANSFORMATIONS, everyone. Yep. What else? I go to concerts frequently. Usually I prefer it if they are out of state, thus giving me an excuse for a weekend get-a-way. Being that money is tight, that's on hold. But when I have money, I will travel the entire midwest if I can to see a favorite band of mine. I'm hardcore like that, eh? haha I like to take pictures and consider myself not that bad at photography, and I also sing (and yes, have gotten paid to do it). I am a FREELANCE makeup artist, so if you'd like your makeup done, do let me know.I'm not interested in racking up a bunch of people on my friends list just for the sake of having a high number. If you add me, I expect that we already know one another OR we have at least a few common interests. I'm not interested in people who aren't interested in reading my profile before sending me a message. I won't respond if all you have to say is a comment about a photograph of me. OH and while i got you here... DON'T steal any of my pictures!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people... but... nice people. Honest people. Fun people. Crazy people. Anyone with a good heart, good intentions, enjoys and appreciates this beautiful planet we are on. Someone who knows that there are things to be grateful for and we are never alone. You may have a heavy heart, but it's not made of stone. I'd like to meet people who reach out and are there when they are reached out to in return. I'd like to meet people who don't take things back. SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY. We all makes mistakes. Be willing to admit to them and correct them where possible. SMILE! Enjoy each breath, even when your heart hurts or you feel scared, lonely... be grateful you can feel it! It's all part of life. Without the bad, we'd never enjoy the good or recognize it when it smacks us in the face! LOVE LIFE!!!
