About Me

Hmmm...I am a single mother of two. I love to dance, write, and read. Pretty average, eh? I really hate these type things because people tend to sound so overdramatic and egotistical, but here goes. I love myself. I love every experience good or bad that I have ever had for molding me into the person I am today. I look forward to new experiences to continue molding me in this art they call life. I am a survivor. My strength is my lifeboat and my weaknesses are the dings and dents that make the boat so personalized. Ummm...yeah. Now that we've gone through all that, lets get down to how I really am. I'm hyper, I get distracted easily, I love learning new things and experiencing new adventures, I can sit and read a book for hours and only get up to piss or smoke, I can lose myself in my head for hours and be perfectly content, I like watching love stories but I hate participating in them, I'm good at giving advice but can never follow it, I crush hard, I burn hot and furious in lust, I have an incredible temper, I'm impatient, I hate ignorance, I loathe overcompensating, I can be hypocritical, I am attention whorish (though if you're nice you can call it 'exhibitionism'), I'm needy with my friends and lovers, but I give as good as I get. I have a tendency of being lazy and unmotivated but when I find something I have a passion for, nothing can tear me away from it. I think that about sums it up.I edited my profile at Doobix.com

My Interests

Music, dancing, the performing arts (and this includes silly things like mimes and street corner performers..people that can create something from themselves are über attractive), books, words, debate, psychology, swimming, clubbing, morning glories, religion, sex, philosophy, archaeology, my kids, my cats, tigers, water...life.

I'd like to meet:

Fun loving, laid back, and responsible. You dont have to like what I like, or do what I do, but be openminded. You never know if you are going to find something new that will completely fulfill you. I think its more important to say who I dont want to meet. If you are fake or shallow dont bother. Control and manipulation are a big no no...I love my friends and my family with all my heart and if you want to be there someday you better let me be the independent woman that I strive constantly to be.

Music:

EDM (huzzah!!) especially Drum n Bass...though this is a recent taste, classic rock, hair band rock, old rap, big band jazz, regular jazz, contemporary classical, some country...As for particulars: Aphrodite, Dieselboy, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails (I've seen them three times so far this year...its becoming an obsession), Aerosmith, Steve Miller Band, Bon Jovi, Benny Goodman, Faith Hill, Britney (I know I know...my little secret...shhh), System of a Down, Radiohead, Guns n Roses, Hurt, 311, Stone Sour, Breaking Benjamin, Deftones, Korn, The collective Marleys, Hinder, Cold, Coldplay, Buck Cherry, Hed Pe, Three Days Grace, Citizen Cope, Tom Petty...there are so many more. Honestly if something has a good beat, great lyrics, and makes me tap my feet...I'm in.

Movies:

My movie-fu is weak as hell (which some of my closer friends are now trying to remedy..but here we go). Recently 21 Grams, Amores Perros, Mystic River, Spiderman, American Beauty, Office Space, Pirates of the Carribean (I am so in lust with Orlando), LOTR, Shrek, Braveheart, Spun....You know, I cant even think of many good movies. I suck. But I can appreciate a good one when I see one.

Television:

Simpsons, Family Guy, Jeopardy...not really a big tv person...

Books:

The Wheel of Time Series, The Way of Zen, Art of War, Ghost Soldiers (awesome book), Atlas Shrugged, The Vampire Chronicles, Dragonlance, Left Behind series, anything by James Patterson, anything by Dean Koontz, romance novels (hangs head in shame), Sylvia Plath, Anais Nin, Jared Diamond ('Guns, Germs, and Steel' and 'Collapse' currently...I can't wait to read more), Jonathan Kellerman, The Outlander series (another one I have read through more than once), Jodi Piccoult, Wally Lamb, Harukai Murakami, 'Life of Pi'...

Heroes:

My brother... He's my favorite person ever.

Emotions

I gave my heart to someone that doesnt want it and I lost my heart to someone that cant take it.   Love is a BITCH.

Johnny Got His Gun

I have been floored by this book....The stream of consciousness style of writing, the subject matter, the interesting way it editorializes war...I know I am late to this book, it was written in 1939.&...

Memory

It's weird how hazy memories suddenly become focused at random points in your day.  Today while swaying in my room to the crooning of Tony Bennett, a memory of music class popped from my sub-cons...

28th year resolutions

I have almost done a whole week of sobriety.  I'm 'attempting' it for a year.  We'll see how it goes.  Amazing how working at a bar made my social drinking become full fledged alcoholis...

The love of a mother and a daughter

I was just laying in bed next to Jackie, stroking her hair, and reflecting on our day together when I realized I wanted to write it down and share it.We got up, showered and dressed, she wanted to put...

WOW!

Darin has a brain tumor.  He goes in for surgery to resection/ remove it on Monday.  The only thing I want for Christmas this year is for him to recover from this in one piece.   ...

How could you? How could I?

I hate you for victimizing me for four years, for destroying my sense of self and replacing it with a black hole of doubt and regret.  I hate you for taking my innocence and twisting it into some...

Update

So, I have finally decided to buckle down and get a room somewhere instead of procrastinating about my future.  I think the stability that I have lacked in the past 6 months is something I really...

For the like minded

Religion is for those scared of hell. Spirituality is for those that have been there.

Happiness

For the longest time I thought that happiness was something different than what I'm finding it is.  I'm happy right now because my kids are thriving with their father.  I'm happy that my AF ...
