About Me


Myspace Layouts
I guess you could say I'm a rowdy Irish-American girl, with a strong Jewish neshama!
I am VERY tolerant of ignorant, vulgar people.;)
I'm especially fond of:
-Nazi, skinhead dorks who write to me here, calling me a race traitor. I guess these folks just look at my photo, without actually reading my profile. Perhaps they were the kids, in days of yore, who took the "short bus" to school and never learned how to read? ;)
- Christian Fundamentalists who say they are worried about my soul and beg me to seek salvation through their messiah, then tell me I'm headed for eternal damnation if I refuse do it their way.
- Zionist Fundamentalists who tell me if I really want to make history, I should move to Israel and join their cause to "wipe the filth" out of Israel.
-Islamic Fundamentalists who write to me and tell me they will hunt me down, find me and rape me until I agree to convert to Islam.
- Old, white guys in suits, who make BIG money off oil and the defense industry, at everyone else's expense.
- Any man who regards women and children as "property."
- Young guys who write to me here, with the hopes of having an "experience" with an older woman.
- Ex-boyfriends who write/ text asking to borrow money, or for other favors.
If you do NOT meet any of the above criteria, and if you are basically a cool person, feel free to write me! :) I am very open to meeting new folks and I won't bite...unless you like that sort of thing. ;) Like a basket of puppy dogs, kittens and rainbows, I spread Love and Light where ever I go! ;)

I'm getting out of the way and allowing the Tree Of Life to lift me up. In the past, I have been stubborn, and set in my ways. I will let go. Instead of clinging to my beliefs, I am opening up, allowing the Light of the upper dimension to shine down into my realm, transforming my life. I HAVE REAL DESIRE, NOT FOR MYSELF ALONE, BUT TO CONNECT TO SOMETHING GREATER! I am letting go and stepping aside, and allowing the Divine Force to take over.
****ATTENTION GUYS: Do NOT message me with an IM request if I don't know you. I only give out my IM to (established) friends. Thx
