_____ "He bent down and lifted Sophie from his pocket...She was still in her nightie and her feet were bare. She shivered and stared around her at the swirling mists and ghostly vapors. 'Where are we?' she asked. 'We is in Dream Country,' the BFG said. 'This is where all dreams is beginning.'"
-- From The BFG by Roald Dahl
Hi, I'm Joy.
Let's be friends, or something.
I am a storyteller by nature. I make art and I perform. I love to laugh and make other people laugh. I'm terrible for procrastination; I think it's a curse. I don't ever want to learn how to drive. I miss Chicago. Sometimes I prefer just sitting and thinking about things, as opposed to going out and doing things. I like to be social, but at heart, I'm more of a solitary sort of character. My temper is a menace, so I apologize in advance if you catch yourself in the throws of it. I love walking. I'm a bookworm--there is nothing more appealing to me than a good book. My family is a real life sitcom; someday I'll write a book about us all.I don't come around here much anymore. Facebook me?
