A fistful of crumpets

About Me

Sometimes I think I'm the world's greatest comedian; other times I can hardly contain my cynicism. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, which some folks find hard to take. But included in said trait is a load of enthusiasm and quirkiness. I am fascinated by science, nature, traveling, religion, music, quantum physics, rituals, and human behavior. I'm a bit of a strange bird; my interests and media tastes run slightly askew from mainstream convention. I am always eager to meet new people who actually understand where I'm coming from. Peter Jackson has been my favorite director since 1993. I think Pez is one of the greatest inventions ever. I absolutely adore sushi with extra hot wasabi. I like to pick up spiders. Someday I want to go to Australia. I have a serious weakness for boys with glasses. I am an avid people watcher. Although I am definitely nowhere near prudish, I'm not a huge drinker or partier; it's just not my scene, save for special occasions. I like to think that I'm one hellaciously cute fat girl who is pierced, tatooed, dyed, and fucking tired of female value being equated with looking like Pamela Anderson. I detest fat stereotypes. It will be a great day when people stop feeling the need to condemn or ridicule others about their physical appearance, and work on their own issues instead. I offer intellect, humor, compassion, worldly experience, strong personal and work ethics, chef-quality cooking ability, and a huge collection of random facts. If you're genuinely interested, and okay with the above, then great!! Let me know! But if you're stuck in the bullshit highschool-style picture-collecting popularity contest, please don't waste my time or yours. (Did I mention that I swear too much?)
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination take you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
What Kind of Soul Are You?
What Johnny the Homicidal Maniac character are you?
You Are Kermit
Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies! The Muppet Personality Test

This is just a disappointing update to all my lover-lies who showed their enthusiasm for my last blog.  The job at the casino still stands, but it took 2 weeks for my criminal background check to...

Lesson number XXVI

The loss of someone I loved.  The stark realization that age is very real, and it terrifies me until I am wide eyed in the dark.  The uncertainty of my heart, my future, family ties.  R...

New show folks!

As much as I loved the old background, song, and colors, I decided it was indeed time for a change.  Lotion's all yours, Steph.  Thanks for your patience.

Teetering between white puffy clouds and a black pit of despair

So here I am; a full month of residing in Silverdale with my pals Jaime and Nikki.  It has been both the best of times, and the worst of times.  (Where have I heard that before?) I was fortu...

Still holding out.... yay!

Today marks the second full week of non smoking commitment.  I was approached by an old friend; a stoner buddy who I've known for over a decade.  He asked if I had quit, and why.  I sim...
