About Me

I am in search of truth, and pointy boots; and there is a very small group of persons for whom I will eat snack crackers whilst wearing my 'special' outfit.elsewheres: website

Ur (pronounced something like Oor) was an ancient city in southern Mesopotamia, located near the original mouth of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers on the Persian Gulf and close to Eridu.WRONG! Ur is a substitute for "you're", "you are", or "your".I will not be impressed if you think that doing the above substitution is acceptable in written communications that are not taking place on a mobile phone.Addenda: * I am not here to get a man, snag a mate, or get laid. If that's all you're looking for, I ain't your girl. Do not hit on me. Period. You are not going to be the exception to my rule. Trust me on this one.* Please, don't make me want to spellcheck you.* Yes I use some IM services. If you want to know my IDs, you'll have to ask.* Chair-dancing is an excellent curative for ants-in-the-pants.* I used to eat ketchup sandwiches when I was a child. Not sure which I liked better - those, or the mayo on toast.* I think it's sad I can't make comments about myself. You can only leave comments if you're someone's friend. Am I not my own friend?* "I really do have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad." - W. Heath Robinson* Yes it's a real tartan. No it's not my clan tartan. My clan tartans are an affront to my blue aesthetic eyemeats. This is the tartan for Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, my birthplace.* Charlie Brokentoaster was the name of my imaginary friend when I was a child.
