I have bursts of being a lady, but it doesn't last long.

About Me

Well, hello there!

We shall begin with the basics...
I am quite crazy. This hasn't been clinically proven, but you'll have to take my word (and the words of most friends and family) on this.
It's a known fact that I will be taking over Hell when I leave this world. If you would like a suite...bribes are accepted. If you don't want to go to Hell (and I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to be with me) it'll cost ya extra.
God doesn't accept bribes. Trust me...I've tried.

I grew up in Chicago. Lived there for 30 years. I'm still, and always will be, a city girl.
"Darling, I love you, but give me Michigan Ave."
OKAY! I know that's not how it goes, but I don't want Park Ave!

My nicknames are:
*Squishy (I assume this refers to my hugs; the fact that it rhymes, somewhat, with my name; and I need to workout)
*Stareyes (given to me by my hubby 17 yrs. ago)
*Trashy Trishy (dirty mind. 'nuff said)

I am currently unemployed due to illness.
It sucks monkey butt. Mind you...I have never sucked a monkey butt. I assume it could be nasty, but I have been known to be wrong before. If so...
I apologize to all those monkeys with exquisite butts. This is purely meant for nasty monkey butts. You know who you are.
It is known that I have an autoimmune disease. I am in the process of finding out which one. Lupus has been detected in blood tests, but we still have to rule out some other things first. Let me tell ya...I can't wait 'til the spinal tap (the procedure not the awesome movie)! Oh, that will be SO much fun. HAZZAH!

So, to bide my time, I watch quite a bit of tv. I'm currently addicted to The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Ghosthunters.

However, I have other hobbies that I fit in between programs:
*reading (currently reading Supernatural by Graham Hancock)
*writing (working on a short story about a "love" triangle between "angels")
*beating the crap out of my drums
*crocheting (just took this up, and I'm addicted)
*photography
*just blankly staring out the window

I can be quite sarcastic.
I love to laugh.
I love to socialize.
But, mainly...
I love life.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
