About Me

pimp myspace

~~Mother to one Amazing SuperBeing named Jack. ~~Artist and art teacher. ~~Liberal, vegetarian, peacenik, boho type. ~~Member of the Choctaw tribe. ~~Obsessed with India. ~~2 dogs, 1 tattoo and a bionic arm. ~~Into understanding and appreciating the beauty and wonder in all things in life, from the natural to the man-made to the little, mundane, everyday aspects of it. ~~That also means I'm easily amused. ~~Goofily intense/intensely goofy. ~~Forever exploring myth, mystery, the past, the future, the human mind, the animal spirit, space, time, how we move thru it, what it does to us. ~~Despite this, i am thoroughly rooted in the present. ~~and i STILL really, really wish i had a pair of pointy ears growing out of the top of my head.
