About Me

• I'd like to teach the world to sing • I love to be touched • I don't react well to people who tell you how busy they are all the time • I'm learning to be more detached • I would rather be happy than be right • Whatever great sex is, I'm sure it's more than sex • I'm trying to be open, really open, and even more open than that • I am here to serve • Does it always hurt this much? • I think that it is amazing that I am still alive • I feel love • It's taken me years to get people to listen to me • Some nights I hate to be alone at home • Some nights I am so happy to be home alone

I'd like to meet:
