About Me

perspicacious, big picture thinker who is passionate about politics, world issues (environment, racism, economy). I've spent my years living in boulder, denver, 8 years in la la land, then 5 in miami. now I live in vermont and sport a fine collection of wool and fleece, although I still strive for elegance, even if nobody is looking. I walk around in my house wearing heels at least once a day, just so I don't lose that skill! leaving my mostly citified existence has been great, but I must be ready to return to the real world at any time. my nickname was once glamara. I'm still glamara, but mostly now, only the trees know. Still, as each day here in the woods passes, I feel further and further removed from the world and more in touch with what really matters. the dark sky lit only by the stars tells me all I need to know; the trees and birds put things in perspective... I'm just a small speck in a big universe of predator and prey. it's hard out there... my 5-acre spot of woods on the side of a ridge is frequented by cardinals, bluejays, chickadees, hawks, owls, deer, moose and foxes. most of my old friends would probably become frightened and bored here and wonder what I see in all this silence. not even a billboard to distract one's thoughts. sometimes I wish we had a few more distractions here... I do get sick of my own thoughts after a while. but still, I know this is how we were meant to live, close to the ground (and not concrete-covered, master-planned ground!). and when I focus on that, living here makes more sense than anything.

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people who are confident but know when to be humble. people who know who they are, even if they don't necessarily know where they're going. people who are so truly cool they laugh loud and dance even when nobody else would. thoughtful listeners who know when to be silent and when to give a kick in the ass. people who need an ear and a shoulder, but not because they live in a victim soup. people who smile a lot and really mean it. people who cry when they need to. people who say hello and are nice to the cashier at the grocery store. people who are occasionally brave enough to try on the shoes of somebody they would never hope to be. people who understand what my last sentence means. people with their own thoughts, opinions and ways of expression.Some day I want to spend an afternoon with Michael Musto. He's hilarious and delightfully real. In a wikipedia interview, when asked about how he would like to die, he replied "I probably would like to die while RSVPing to a party. And then I just want to be put into a Hefty bag and leaned against a garbage pail. I don't want a lot o fuss because I'm not going to be here to enjoy it."

This is entirely mean... but I can’t help myself.

Everything is sexier in Paris

Cirri found this magazine in Paris. Everybody she ran into (while wearing her Obama pin) was just falling all over her about how much they want Obama to be president. With him looking like this, I cou...
