If you missed the bus, it wasn't your bus.

About Me

Sometimes I feel there's no order in my life, even though my CDs are alphabetized at home, and a bobby pin secures the roll up the toothpaste tube.* You should see my linen closet. My car would definitely qualify as "clean" (though I like to refer to it as a truck because that makes me feel tough). So there is order, I guess - a sort of chaotic order.
Things you should know:
I'm a mad weed puller; it's my most recent obsession.
I might drive you crazy.
I color.
And I am still the magic.
*In recent months, I've actually resorted to purchasing toothpaste in an upright container; this is so wrong.

My Interests

First and foremost: Diet Coke and Diet Coke.
Cross-stitching like an old lady, only much slower.

I'd like to meet:

The world ... and buy it a Coke.

Movies:

I forgot how good Closer is; you should watch it, too, Buster.
Also: The Squid & The Whale ; Candy.

Books:

I had to put the books down for a few months, but I just picked up Ghost by Alan Lightman. (Remember Einstein's Dreams? )
Most recently finished: The Memory Artists by Jeffrey Moore
Accidental Happiness by Jean Reynolds Page
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Heroes:

Your left ass cheek
“You do what you do. Not without consequences for other people,” she concedes. “But it’s not very helpful to regard your choices as a series of right or wrong moves.”

Which plate has eight strawberries?

Houses

Reflecting is a purposive process

Sometimes I think people care about minute details about which they really don't and shouldn't care.  Sometimes I get stuck, unable to view things from any perspective other than my own.  At...
