Galatea

Goddess in Stone Standing Betwixt the Ivory & Horn

About Me

I am a roiling mass of contradictions & incongruities.
idealist & cynic,
at once outgoing and inward looking,
hard worker that likes to be lazy,
a green that owns a gun,
a practitioner of no religion and yet every element of spirituality.
I'm not really here a whole lot. I won't say it sucks on MySpace...but it's as close to total vacuum as I frequent online.
I'm other places online a lot more than here, if you know my name, or my usual online moniker, you can Google them and find me. Things are much more lively elsewhere. ;)
