About Me

I don't blog.
~~~ * ~~~
I honestly believe that if I am ever mugged, my reaction will be to look at the guy and say, "Seriously?"
~~~ * ~~~
I find it amusing when men crane their heads out the window to stare at me as they drive past.
I also realize that it will cease to be humorous if they ever crash and kill someone.

~*Shayla worked in a factory She wasn't history She's just a number One day she gets her final pay And she goes far away Green trees call to me I am free but life is so cheap Scenery is still outside of me All alone trapped by its beautyShayla turned to run away To leave in peace and end her stay Years of fear were in her way Lost in space and down she cameSuddenly some subtle entity Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows Down here we stop to wonder Cars on the freeway Bright lights and thunder*~
"You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody."
~2 Corinthians 3:2

"Be the flame, not the moth."
I don't need to find my better half, I'm already whole.
Belle, the beauty. You are beautiful, sweet, and intelligent. You are self-sufficient and spirited. You don't let others take advantage of you and you follow the beat of your own drum. Your patience and kindness helps to bring out the prince in the beast, ultimately fulfilling your dreams! And a little hair doesn't scare you away from a good guy!
