the lifelong journey of becoming a crazy cat lady, good noises (like clanky belt buckles and stirring ice with a straw), raw food, tattoos and the eternal quest for more of them, poetry that isn't lame, wine tasting and wine discoveries (specifcally: mourvedre), buying marijuana at the legal-marijuana store, licentious text messages, things that remind me of childhood (like apple-grape juice and the smell of hyacinths), dancing when i have the energy for it, cooking and baking when i have the time (never, lately), pushing the boundaries of really spicy food (i've hung w/raw habeneros and survived), fruit, expensive eye makeup and elaborate eyeshadow creations, braiding/dreading/straightening/dying/extending my goddamn hair incessantly, and the color blue. i really, really, really love blue.

Was lovely running into you the other day! You are looking beautiful as always... let me know if you are free anytime early next week, I shall stop by and check out your kitchen. meow!
i guess "forever ago" is a relative concept for me. sorry about that, havent had much time to get out for fun. not much has changed with me. hope that things are going well.
It's been cold here, messy snow and sleet, yuck! Makes me want to hibernate but yesterday and today have taken part in global warming so I can't wait to walk outside and pretend that Spring is coming. The biz is good...really busy actually. Glad to hear that you are happy with the LA change and feeling good! Send some more sun and peacefulness this way, pleeease. xoxo
