About Me

I want a baby.
And I want to be married.
And I want to be old.
And I love my family.
(Steven Smith Art.)
I want to get old. I want peace and laugh lines. I want gray hair and I want to walk slowly through parks with my hand intertwined with the hand of a white haired man who loves me. I want family photos in a book. I want blue carpeted floors and crocheted blankets over the back of my living room chairs. I want my children to come visit me for Sunday night dinners. I want to give my grandchildren twenty dollar bills and tell them not to spend it all in one place. I want love and I want proof. I want to be able to point to my love and say, "There it is. It is right there."
"Richard Cory"
By Edward Arlington Robinson
Whenever Richard Cory went downtown
We people on the pavement looked at him.
He was a gentleman from sole to crown;
Clean favored and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed.
And he was always human when he talked.
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich - yes, richer than a king -
And admirably schooled in every grace.
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light.
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread.
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

My Interests

I am interested in:

Family, owls and elephants, fireflies, lightning and clouds, scarves, large bags, The Translator, Richard Cory, the color yellow, Steven and Molly, Mossimo, aging, James, the Artist, my legs, my cheekbones, peanut butter from the jar, and cold winds.

I love these people's videos/photography/artwork.
Keeping them to myself would be a travesty.
