I'm rather dorky but in the coolest of all ways ;) I'm spunky and sly, but also very serious about life; spiritual and devout. I love to joke and I laugh a lot. I like sci-fantasy and a good old-fashioned alien story. dragons rock. and so do cyborgs, btw. Love is a good good thing, it's everything really, and makes my world spin around.
My boyfriend's so handsome, he takes my breath away. His kisses make my knees quiver. And his intellect triumps. (he's so cool) He takes such good care of me.
My kids are not human. Literally. Maybe that's an odd statement, but I've spent most of my life working in the fields of Interspecies Communication and Behavioral Enrichment, and so I nuture my two adopted felines, Apache and Reggie, and my Chinese dwarf hamster, Figgy, as family. They're total rascals! My sweet brood :)

1. once a navy brat, always a navy brat
2. saucy italian-american, lol (marone a mia, eat something!)
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom..... Thanks for being one of the BIG things that I enjoy in life...my friends!
