I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a Christian who uses too much profanity, a vegetarian who loves too much junk food, a sentimental fool who's ruled by her head. I'm married and have a 7-year-old son. I write because I love. I edit because I love to eat and see rock & roll shows and feed my boy's out-of-control Lego addiction.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nice people, smart people, funny people, creative people, people who can be any combo of these simultaneously.Oh, and I'd like to meet this guy. He's kinda cute and has an accent and knows TONS of stuff to do with bubble wrap.

"You're Goin' Gray, My Baby"

It turns out that this is my 100th blog posting; man, I do go on, huh?  My blog entries seem to generally fall into three categories:  poems, musings on life, and concert reviews emphasizing the exper...
