I I used to work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse...I am now a mentor coordinator in charge of training and recruiting volunteers. I lived in Germany before...I fasted for 3.5 months, not fun. I dream of going to Sri Lanka to work at the elephant orphanage. I have an urgent need to go to India and Sri Lanka. But my little piece of haven is TIGERS preservation station!!!!!!! I must tell you that you have to go there. You get hands on with Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Chimps, Orangatans, Monkies, wolves, and more!!!!!! I must get back to T.I.G.E.R.S!!!! I really really want to work there. I love learning about new cultures and religions...I have wanderlust. I found this program travellersworldwide (my newest life dream) and I want to do one month at the Pinwalla elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka, one month at the Colombo Zoo in Sri Lanka, one month in India teaching orphaned children, one month rehabilitating oragatans in Malyasia, one month in South Africa doing the lion breeding project, one month in South Africa working with dolphins and whales, and one month in Boreno studying the coral reef. I do not know how to dive, yet....but snorkeling is great. I had a blast in Virgin Gorda swimming with the fish all day. After my trip to myrtle beach I want to volunteer with TIGERS Preservation Station and become a tiger trainer! I am very open minded and non judgemental. I love martinis and perfume. I am a collector of sock monkies, perfume, records....I am a library junkie...I go almost everyday. I am always a on the search for a new book, movie or musical talent. I am also on friendster. I love watching movies, especially out of sequence movies, foreign films, bollywood is great stuff. For some strange reason I can cry at anything, like the ending to dodgeball...why, who knows. Even a meijers commercial made me weepy. I also love to play games, darts, board games, cards, skee ball, bingo gives me a rush. Did I mention TIGERS???? The CricketSoda Myspace Editor! I like Paul Frank...The CricketSoda Myspace Editor! sock monkies are so great...look up lucious monkey as he travels the world.....My celebrity friends..........This is my mom jetsetting with her famous friends....

Red knitting yarn.INSTRUCTIONS: TURN THE SOCKS INSIDE OUT Sew a seam (A) 1/2 inch on both sides of the center of sock starting three inches from the white heel and across the end of the top. Cut the sock between the seams and to within 1-1/2 inches of white heel. This leaves an opening in the crotch.Then turn the sock so the seams are on the inside and use the crotch opening to stuff the head, body and legs.ARMS: Cut the upper part of the sock into two pieces. Seam, rounding the ends and stuff the arms.MOUTH: Cut the heel from the sock, leaving a brown edge around the white. Fasten on lower part of the face, whip-stitching around the bottom; stuff and finish sewing around the top. The mouth can be improved by a running stitch of either black or white across the middle of the lips.TAIL: Cut a one inch strip, taper to end of cuff on length of front of sock. Seam and stuff.EARS: Cut the ears from the remaining brown part of the sole of the sock.EYES: Sew on moving eyes, buttons, felt, or embroider with black thread.
