Those pieces of me don't exist. That's not my chorus.

About Me

Cursor by www.Soup-Faerie.Com

"...everytime I find myself imagining things, I get scared and try to stop the thoughts, because if I dream something it will never come true." ~Miariamirella, from "Love Far From Home" by Italo Calvino

I'm a mom! I really like music; I wish I were more creative; I'm in love; I worry that I'm uninteresting; I worry that I worry too much - but I'm pretty sure that I don't; I'm an idealistic optimist in most cases; I was a premature baby; I am the youngest child of four; I have had my heart broken; I have broken a heart; I've never broken a bone or been stung by a bee - but I have survived 25 hours of labor and a c-section; I have had a dog try to eat my right eyeball; I love books; I anticipate moments of unexpected beauty; I secretly want to write a great piece of literature, I'd settle for writing lyrics for good folk music; I'm prone to bouts of OCD; I'm fond of eastern philosophy; I try to keep it simple; I try to stay positive but sometimes I fail; I have a pack-rat streak; I was a vegetarian before the baby, I don't make a very good carnivore; I like words; I'm generally quiet; I often say my ideal job would be to stand on the other side of a two-way mirror - but apparently that requires a PhD; I secretly dream of being on stage; I'm still learning...always

I don't believe in regret or boredom; I struggle to balance a need for solitude and wanting to scream out for attention - I'm shy; I don't like labels, use of the word "hate" or the emotions related to it, red meat, incompetence in positions of power, the power of money, compulsive self-criticsm, gratuitous criticsm of others, negativity in most forms, peas, getting laid off due to corporate restructuring, feeling tired for no good reason, septoplasty, mastitis, dishonesty, non-communication, dogs who want to eat my eyeballs, people who seem to be without compassion, feeling angry, being allergic to grass, drowning in the positive, living outside the moment, how logic and critical thinking aren't basic skills taught in grade school, taking things too seriously, the fact that I have a paragraph about things I don't like...

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Lots of things. What have you got?This seems to take up most of my attention these days: too cute !

I'd like to meet:

People whose smiles reach their eyes.

Music:

If I haven't heard it - I need to, and if I like it - I feel compelled to collect it all.A few favorites: Tori Amos, Fisher, VAST, Mumbo Gumbo, Girlyman, Vienna Teng, Emiliana Torrini, Yo La Tengo, Patricia Barber, The Ditty Bops, Patty Griffin, Splashdown, A Perfect Circle, Dar Williams, Beethoven, Tegan and Sara, Sarah Harmer, ... subject to change with my mood...

Movies:

Yes

Television:

No

Books:

Ian McEwan, especially Atonement and Saturday. I also push The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell on everybody I meet who likes to read - so if you match that description pick it up right away. I was once told by somebody who just "couldn't get into it" that she tried a few times but she just couldn't get past the first couple of pages. Who does that?! Nuff said.There are too many books on my "need to read" list.

Heroes:

The patient, The compassionate, The slow to anger, The quick to forgive. So...you know, April.
