Mother of Pearl

sometimes i feel the mystery, sometimes i don't

About Me


human, collector of dog secrets, lover of simple pleasures, cheeky,part-time baker, loyal, tender, fearful, excited, and sometimes self deprecating but only for humor's sake.
I like to sleep.. Hmm.. I am a fallible human. Love life (most days) and the absurd (everyday).
Figuring out how to string 'happy'days together. I find I can tape and glue them, but string works well too.
I like my brother- he's a weird freak magnet.

My Interests

PEARL and other Small White Paralyzed Dogs, watching my ever growing belly, Bouts of Debauchery, People Watching, Scavenger Hunts, The double A, A Good Whinge, Trapeze, Stupid Human Tricks, Anonymous Philanthopy, TRAVEL, Coffee, Spooning, Playing With Clay, Sleeping, laughing, jaywalking, water, reef diving, car trips, loving my mates, A CLEAN HOUSE, and digging in the dirt.
Anonymous Philanthropy. Taking Trips with no plan in mind, just a ticket in hand.. I like reading maps. They make sense. Thinking about thinking, making decisions to not make decisions..
office supplies

I'd like to meet:

Other humans with stories to tell and mischief to make.. Baggage is OK, BUT carry-on only please!
RISK TAKERS, other bakers, & obessive readers.
People who know how to be still..
