I am here for Friends

About Me

So I was born and everything, and you know how that goes. And now here I am. In between, I went some places and met some people and learned some things and had a time here and there. At this point in my evolution, I'm a mom and a music lover and an optimistic cynic (wha?) and a person who still hasn't found what I'm looking for. Yup, that about covers it, I think

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

NO PLAYAS NEED APPLY!! I'm mostly here to check out other people's music, art & blogs. I'm always most pleased to connect with other music lovers (if you're into movies, or if you just have a decent sense of humor, that's cool too). But all y'all who send me friend requests just because you're MySpace alpha-male hunter/gatherers and you want 893 ladies on your friends list...please don't! And no, I do not want my toes licked, either (you know who you are)!!!Just normal, interesting people...I hope that's not too much to ask!

My Blog

Sacrilege, anyone?

So I was foodling around with my fellow Elbow fans on the Elbow forum the other day, and there was an offhand comment made about forming a Church of Elbow. Of course this was a joke, but because the c...

Religion, pirates and candy
