The Betsie

I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a Celtic goddess in the body of major geek. I play acoustic guitar, kinda, (a Taylor 610 - my baby) and sing and write songs. I'm passionate about friendship, animals, mental health, books, movies and music. My cats, Holly, Pazu, & Gidget keep me warm at night. My friend Shana and I have founded an area support group for depression and bipolar sufferers, of which I am very proud. I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion, and therefore don't believe in organized religion. So there!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hayao Miyazaki, Stephen Fry, author Carol Goodman, David Cross, George W. Bush (so I can castrate him!!!) and the "genius" who invented health insurance

why so?

So why does every relationship go through this "crush" phase when you feel like you can't be separated from the object of your affection? That's silly - that's not real life. I wanna skip to the rea...
