• Despise drugs and drug users. It tells me you have a weak character flaw. That is my opinion. Feel free to ask me what I mean by this..
• Don't like rude, disrespectful people. Everyone deserves a chance and you really should treat others as you wish to be treated.
• Please do not send me email asking me to spank you or if you can be my pet etc.. It gets old... I will delete it.
• Don't care for video games, they seem to be a waste of time.. Get out and do something productive or active.
Friends Request: At any given time there is probably 120-200 people sitting in my friends request.. I try and get to look at your profiles before accepting just anyone.. If I like your band I might accept it however if you send me an email I would be more inclined.. That goes to all...

Polyamory (from Greek p??? [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [literally “love”]) is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Polyamorous perspectives differ from monogamous perspectives, in that they reflect one or more partner's wish(es) to have further meaningful relationships and to accommodate these alongside their existing relationships.

COIN OPERATED BOY, By THE DRESDEN DOLLS
Coin operated boy
Sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
But i turn him on and he comes to life
Automatic joy
That is why i want a coin operated boy
Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more
Love without complications galore
Many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
Wrap my arms around him and pretend....
Coin operated boy
All the other real ones that i destroy
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
Never let him go and i'll never be alone
Not with my coin operated boy......
This bridge was written to make you feel smittener
With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didnt think so but im still convinceable
Will you persist even after i bet you
A billion dollars that i'll never love you
Will you persist even after i kiss you
Goodbye for the last time
Will you keep on trying to prove it?
I'm dying to lose it...
I want it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy.
And if i had a star to wish on
For my life i cant imagine
Any flesh and blood could be his match
I can even take him in the bath
Coin operated boy
He may not be real experienced with girls
But i know he feels like a boy should feel
Isnt that the point that is why i want a
Coin operated boy
With his pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is why i want
A coin operated boy.
Books
LOVE TO READ!! Design books, Anne Rice, Health books, I've actually been wanting to read more William Shakespeare as of late... I have a collection of antique Shakespeare books my father gave me and every now and then I'll open them and read a few pages. I get drawn in but never seem to find the time to make a habit of it.. =(
Heroes
My grandmother. I never met someone so REAL! The woman is AMAZING!

I honestly think I'm one of the happiest people I know! Life is GREAT! I have fabulous friends, the best "job" in the world, my freelance has taken off to the point I almost can't keep up with it, I have awesome pets, I travel every chance I get, I can spend freely when I want to, I'm in good health and I love my family! I am very lucky:-) The glass is always half full! Always try and see the bright side of everything or make the best of it.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!

Took of a few of my students to London, Paris and Rome June 2006!
Looking to meet motivated, inspiring, creative REAL people that enjoy good conversation, culture and arts... People that can just be themselves and not superficial imbeciles. Would love to meet other creatives to share and bounce ideas off of.

Holiday was awesome!!! We met Chris and his family - and we had the best little cottage in Wales. I hate to be back...but compared to what you have to cope with...so sorry to hear about your sister, I'll keep my fingers crossed for her to get better soon - but yeah, I suppose patience is needed now, huh? That sucks! :( *hugs* And Tornadoes? I hope you'll be alright! Take good care of yourself!
