About Me

Well, I've been sitting here trying to think of interesting things to say about myself. Harder than I thought....Here is the basic run down on me.... I work, like everyone else, unless you are in school which in that case, good for you! If you don't fit into either one of those catagories you probably live at home with your mama or mooch from the system in which case GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GET A DAMN JOB! ha ha (insert hater mail now...)My free time is spent working on my arts and crafts. I am an artist (thats what my friends say...yes I have friends). I work mostly in soft pastels and oil pastels. I do a lot of reproductions, I see a picture I love and I make it for myself. I love it. Maybe I will post some of my work here sometime.I also spend a lot of time knitting. (no I'm not old...it's cool I SWEAR!) Supplies for the first beanie...$5. The first time you make a beanie that actually fits right....priceless! I've gotten a bit obsessed with it but I have entered a 12 step program and I did make amends to that old lady I plowed down to get to the last ball of green microfiber yarn. I hear she is recovering nicely. At her age she probably could have used that new hip anyway so it wasn't a total loss.I recently started scrapbooking with my friend Jon. It only took me about 15 hours to do my first page. I'm a perfectionist. (turns out I am also just really slow)I love to laugh. Not that little *giggle giggle he he* shit but some serious gut busting, makes your face hurt, makes you pee a little, laughter. I also love to shop. If the world were my oyster I'd sell the pearl and go shopping!As artistic as I am in some ways my page will suck because I am clueless about this whole computer graphics thing. HTML WHAAAT? (You want me to put my hand in the WHAT and pull out the WHAT WHAT?)I have had bullshit and drama for long enough and I am finally done with that! Sometimes you just need to wake up. Life is too short.

Life is good again

Just when you give up on the possibility of finding someone that fits and really makes sense to you, you find it.  It is an amazing thing.  I'm glad I stopped trying to find it because the m...
