I NEVER look like this. . .

About Me


Get Your Own Chat Box! Go Large!
I run with scissors and other sharp objects. I allowed my kids to do that too. I figure if you can't manage to move at high speed while carrying a dangerous object without maiming yourself, then you should just sit in a padded corner somewhere. And you definitely should NOT reproduce yourself!!!
I'm not afraid to make mistakes. That's how you learn. However, I prefer to look less clumsy while I'm making my mistakes, so I practice them in private.
I'm here to be with my friends, the ones I met in G4TV's Star Trek 2.0. If you're a Trek fan, but not a 2.0 player, fine. I'll add ya. If you're a writer or an alternative practitioner, great!!! I'll add ya.
If you're some 30-something horndog who for some unknown reason wants to jump the bones of a large lady in her mid-forties, then I do NOT want to hear from you. I strongly encourage you, your parents, and whatever offspring you may have to run with scissors, and start thinning out the gene pool in your family tree. Then I STILL don't want to hear from you. So make like a sheep and get the flock out of here...

My Interests

Hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, camping, crafting, sewing, shopping at thrift stores, yard sales and swap meets. Word games like Scrabble and Boggle. Reading. I also write some. Well, maybe more than some. Try reading my blogs.

I'd like to meet:

Other Startrek 2.0 players/fans, other alternative practitioners, people with similar interests, folks who want to know more about Alternative Medicine or Massage Therapy, or people who can teach me more about Alternative Medicine and Massage Therapy.

Music:

I was raised on the radio, so I like a little of a lot of bands. I'm not really fanatical about any of them, but I mostly listen to: James Taylor, Carol King, The Eagles, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Mamas and the Papas, Seals and Crofts, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones,Moody Blues, The Beatles, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Bad Co., Chicago, War, Santana, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Bread, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton, Guess Who, Deep Purple, Three Dog Night, The Temptations, `Pink Floyd,
And I listen to a lot of Meat Loaf when I'm mad or agravated.

Movies:

I watch a lot of Sci-Fi movies, especially the old classic ones, like the original "Ivasion of the Body Snatchers". Comedies are always good-- everyone needs a laugh. I also watch alot of old westerns and adventure movies. I like newer stuff too, but there's just so much more of the old stuff...and the new stuff becomes the old stuff anyway...

Television:

South Park. It's raunchy and sometimes I get grossed out, but it's about the funniest thing on tv. If I get offended, I just don't look. I watch the Simpsons and King of the Hill alot, but it's kind of a passive thing, since my husband is the one with the remote control... I love Monty Python, and I watch The Red Green Show right after on Saturday nights. They both keep me laughing!

Books:

I Love Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider of Pern series. I've read and reread all of them, including the newer ones with her son, Todd.
Piers Anthony, although I did not like the Xanth series after the first few.
Rick Cook's Wizard series is definitely worth the read. I would probably appreciate it even more if I were a programmer...
Heinlein is also a big favorite. He was the first Sci-Fi author I read. I found a copy of Stranger in a Strange Land at the tender age of 13....
Spider Robinson is a given. If you read Heinlein, you gotta read Robinson. It's just too bad that he's not as prolific.

Heroes:

Astronauts, firemen, police officers, military, the people who go out there and lay their lives on the line for something other than to entertain the masses.

Postcard From the Forest

I wrote this as an English assignment.  It turned out to be something I did not expect.  When read aloud, it sounds like rap.  That suits, as it covers a subject that I should be angry ...
