About Me

I'm having a great time, right now. I have four beautiful children and the most respectful and loving partner a woman can ask for.
My cat's a bit of a retard, but what can I do about that? I have a knack for keeping pets alive longer than they're supposed to live, but I'm not so great with houseplants...
My blogs are filled with mostly true and entertaining snippets from my actual mostly normal life, as well as examples of 'finished' poetry I'm either brave or stupid enough to post publicly. They're updated and deleted semi-regularly...
I'm also an aspiring screen and playwright, and am working on having something to show, by the end of the year!! Woot woot...

Your Ideal Pet is a Cat

And your friends secretly wish that you were declawed! What's Your Ideal Pet?
