Heroes
Chad Savage, my daughter, myself and a free spirit in Key West.
I live in Chicago where the winters are long and cold and I have a gaggle of really great friends. I have a daughter and a husband and a big black dog. I am a professional make-up artist who loves costuming and parties and all things of a grand nature. I read, travel, throw parties, go to bars, eat at good restaurants and watch TV. As a double Leo my social calendar is usually pretty full, especially in October.
I delve in to the metaphysical realm and am an active living vampire when I'm able to admit it, but hey this is MySpace and this is where all the weirdos are anyway. I'm not into hippy dippy, fluffy pagan practices nor do I walk the path on the Left but everyone is entitled to believe what they like and I really could care less. I am me and I believe what I want to believe and those who know me know the wisdom in that. I've been down the rabbit hole and I know where it goes and I know where I hover. Any thing else about me has to be learned over time. Seek your own truth.
Who I'd like to meet: People of substance who can be honest with me and who have the courage of their convictions.
I'm at that fun holding pattern on my diet plan. I am shrinking in inches but my arms are swelling up in a good way. I hope the move is going well. I can fit into my old clothes again! Hooray.
I'm wasting away. I just bought clothes from Express. I never thought I'd get into that size again. I still have a ways to go but I want to thank you for your encouragement. Without the encouragement of my friends I would have had a hard time getting here. Miss you, hope the move is going well!
Hello dear, I wish you could have been there whilst I was visiting Deacon...it was very, very fun except for the chigger bites! We had a great time! Hope all is going well with your move.
Thanks so much for the add, we totally want you and Lord J, and Deacon to come to the wedding in 2010. I want it in Nola of course, but then 90% of the wedding guests would have to fly- damn :( It looks like it will have to be up north :P
I love that pic of you and I. In fact, I am rather fond of many of our pics and I use them as my default often. I hope all is well with you and yours? Will you be joining us in New Orleans this fall? I hope so! I bet Chicago looks amazing right now! Enjoy the spring my love. Deacon
