About me:

I've always done things my way and in a lot of cases, it hasn't been done traveling the traditional path. I have never been the worn road. I am the wooded overgrowth and shadowy concave. I am my own.

I moved to Georgia from Southern California in 2000. Due to my large family of animals (being unable to find suitable housing elsewhere because of them and refusing to give them up), I just kinda got stuck in this place.

I'm always looking for the opportunity to get out of here, but in the meantime, I want to work towards leaving the local animals in better circumstances than I first discovered them.

Just because I can't help them all doesn't mean that I should stop helping who I can. One person can make a difference. Every life is worth it. Never doubt the power that you hold within yourself.

Also, just because life can be a bitch doesn't mean that you have to be one too. There is power in the positive and we should all strive to put that kind of energy out into the world. Let's not be so crappy all the time or act like people owe us something. You hold the power to make the world better. Use it wisely. Use it with strength and courage. Use it. Become your own hero.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Gandhi

If we all harnessed the power of one, just imagine how incredible the power of unity could be.

The time to start walking the walk is now.

Instead of using all of our energy fighting against, perhaps we should start fighting for.

On a more personal level...

I love popcorn, avocado rolls with ginger dressing, and cool autumn nights under the moon. I embrace the good, the bad and the naughty. I named my bicycle Leonidas due to the character in the film "300" - you know, because I oil him up and ride him often. With the exception of my bicycle and the occasional Gerard Butler, Brad Pitt or Hugh Jackman (think Wolverine not Leopold) movie, I am 100% faithful to my partner and have every intention of staying that way, so don't bother with the pervy myspace hook-up messages that you send to every chick within a 50 mile radius. I am a very sexual person by nature and believe that sexuality should be embraced and not shamefully hidden away, but that doesn't mean that your penis interests me. My home office is purple and silver and pretty messy. I'm kinda bad ass. I am NOT religious. My mood can often be determined by the wiggle of my feet. Every dream I ever have includes some form of water. I believe in miracles, even if they don't always have the outcome imagined. I'm straight and support gay marriage. I don't smoke it, but I support the legalization of marijuana. I'm a vegan, but don't hate on omnivores - in fact, my partner (who I'd go so far as to call my soulmate whether we like it or not) is one. I have been vegan since January 2000, poop at least a few times a day, and no, my shoes are not leather. And yes, I did see you staring at my boobs, but that's okay - they're a fun natural D and I stare at them too. ;-p

I write a lot. Here's one of my poems (I'll change it at whim):
