Life is short, and so am I.....

About Me

I am impatient and often impulsive. I love everything about tattoos. Scars are sexy. I am bull-headed. I love being queer. I am quiet but always paying attention. I have always accused myself of being far too serious, but I have definitely gotten in touch with my silly side. I get mad when I have to share my food, although I am getting better at it. I am an artist. I love my cats. I have been cancer-free for five freakin' years!! Yay for good health and beating that crappy disease! I love being alive. I love my husband more than I thought was possible to love someone; he makes me proud of who he is every day. He makes me strive to be a better person. I have a best friend who I will never let go of; she is a gem. I don't think she will ever know how much I truly love her (Ms. Johnson, I am referring to you). I have the CUTEST twin brothers in the world (they're 12), and the best big brother a girl could want. My nephew makes me proud. I have a brand new niece who is the most beautiful girl ever! My dad is the most unique and interesting man I know. My mom is one of my best friends and the most amazing woman I will ever meet. I am a lucky girl. I miss California but don't regret the move to Portland for a second...I love it here. Right now I am trying my hardest to look on the bright side and not get distracted with being a negative-nelly....life is good.....I just got married, I have a great job that gives me the freedom to make my own art....I have a great house and wonderful friends.....not to mention the cutest ferrets ever made.... I am back in school, which means I have to get off my ASS on a more regular basis.

My Interests

I have time for nothing but science classes right now!!!!!! School has eaten my life! I am newly obsessed with rock-climbing...of course I found the love for it right as the rains come to P-town...I still love hanging out with my ferrets (that sounds dirty, but it's not) reading, movies, tattoos, making art, gardening, working out with my husband, spending time with friends, DREAMING BIG, getting out of debt, being back in school for something I really want to do...Spending what little free-time I have throwing a frisbee in the park with my sweet friends...

I'd like to meet:

People who will love me for me. People not interested in drama and superficiality. People who like to play Trivial Pursuit. People who want to have dinner parties at home. People not afraid to open up. People not weirded out by my ferrets. People willing to travel for visits with good friends! People willing to show up and be available...

Heroes:

My mom, yer mom.....moms just pretty much rock... My pirate name is: Black Anne Rackham Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
