I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Iowa and now live in North Carolina. My favorite things are Nutter Butter cookies, hearing someone elses life changing experiences, frost covered trees, daisies, watching the squirrels tease my dogs, post-it notes, a good cheeseburger, my Nintendo Gamecube (Zelda games rock), Post Secret, the smell of popcorn and my non-skid ScoobyDoo socks... but not necessarily in that order. Some of my dislikes include, (but aren't limited to) the cat making that yakking sound at 3AM, polyester, fake people, most vegetables, those twist tie things on bread bags and people with more than 10 items in the 10 items or less line. As for me, I'm one of those new age, metaphysical people but I don't spew the stereotypical love and light fluff, if ya get my drift. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the love and light crap, but who are we kidding... everyone is here to experience life in every way we can imagine possible... even if that means swearing like a sailor and running naked with scissors through the middle of the SuperBowl. Everyone has a purpose and everything happens for a reason.
"Spiritual people can say 'fuck' too." ~~Judylynn
Blessed are those who know they are broken. - Matt.5:3
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ~~ Albert Einstein
Why is it that when we talk to God, its called praying and when God talks to us, its called schizophrenia?
"Maybe this world is another planet's hell." ~Aldous Huxley
"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life."~~ Rachel Carson
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. - Ecclesiastes 1:18

'The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with friendship.'

~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
