About Me

I have trouble sitting through movies; even good ones. I often find the artistic process cumbersome, but I continue to find myself in it. When people stick stuff in my vein, I puke. I have a soft spot for ALL animals. When an animal dies, even if only in a movie, my grief is so intense that I feel I will have to jump out a window to end it. I also have a soft spot for helpless old men without old wives to take care of them. Especially if they are wearing suspenders and carrying something heavy. And when people break their glasses, I have a hard time with that too. If an old man breaks his glasses I will be a puddle of tears. If a dog breaks its glasses I will be unable to speak for five to seven days. ..

My Interests
