Acting, modeling (plus-size models will one day rule the runway!), fashion, reading vast numbers of books, playing and surfing online, and having some serious sessions with my friends. Poetry, prose, short stories, erotic, HP(specifically SS/HG fan fics), the classic cannon authors of literature of A LOT of genres. ENTER.Zoning out while listening to my favorite music,inspired by artists of kinds (and being blessed to know some personally--they motivate me to be better and do more), talking to my mother on the phone and relating. Being me, being vain (that will become more evident as I add more to this page....just you wait), but also remain as humble as possible. Everything will come full circle.
I'd like to meet:
.....as many people as I can that are interesting, full of life, nice, and to share thoughts and opinions with.These people would be pretty cool to meet.....

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.~His Holiness, The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet
I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water...
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return...
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance...Maya Angelou, Poet, Author, Actress, Humanitarian, Greatest Living Orator Since Mark Twain
A violinist had a violin, a painer his palette. All I had was myself. I was the instrument that I must care for...

Beautiful? It's all a question of luck. I was born with good legs. As for the rest... beautiful, no. Amusing, yes.~Josephine Baker, dancer, singer, entertainer
