*************************************
You are purple. What a romantic person you are. You're sentimental and forward-looking (those are opposites.). You're a sophisticated and refined--with a refind taste for chocolates and wine (yum...). Tempermental and moody, you let people know when you're angry. But other times, you just sit and sulk. Alone. When around people, you're a generous person, with insatiable needs. You're a starving artist, basically. You're enjoy getting into debates over politics and religion with people of the same intelligence of you. But you know they can never convince you otherwise, you stubborn person, you. As a unique person you are (not to mention just a tad bit eccentric...), you're well-liked by either a few people, or too many people...
"Gonna burn so completely I leave no trace
Though so many out there would laugh in my face,
For wearing emotion so close to the skin Condemn me they might if to love's such a sin...." I Cry lyrics...by LAMB

."there's beauty in the breakdown" FROU FROU**************
"...and there is nothing that I could do without here loving the state that I'm in between no longer and not yet on the threshold of some
brighter thing..." DAVID SYLVIAN
Please if you have love in your life nurture it and keep it safe! You never know how long you will have it, but however long it is know it's value. Never expect anything in return for your love, always give it freely !..
Who I'd like to meet:
IF YOU ARE A TEENAGE BOY DON'T EVEN THINK OF ADDING ME! ....PLEASE NOOOOOOOOO MORE BANDS!!!
"I'm shattered like a broken glass, severed from my better half. It is the way it should be.." Trillion
I am not looking for a savior or someone to heal me. That is a job that only I can complete. I AM looking for understanding and acceptance for my faults and belief in my goodness. I am NOT looking for any romance. But I would still love to met those who believe in true love and it's beauty...our souls are kindred.........
__________________________________________________________
PLEASE READ!!!!
I would prefer a email beforehand introducing yourself....I will read your profile and see if we share common interests. Chances are high that if you are female you will be accepted. As for bands, I am a music whore, can't live without it........but don't request a friendship unless you reflect my tastes...I WILL LISTEN!! If I like you I will add you....NO GUYS THAT ARE GIRL COLLECTING!!!!!!! Any person who makes it more than obvious that they just want hot chicks on their page or talk about who the want to bang, DON'T EVEN TRY TO ADD ME YOU WILL BE DENIED!!! Since I am the mother of a teenage boy I can not see fit to add teenage boys to my list... on very rare occasions will I make exceptions....As for comments if you are just leaving them to blatantly promote yourself I most likely will deny them, unless you are a good friend in need of promotion or it is an event I would love to go to, I am not your personal billboard, my page is personal ...
I want to increase my artistic community, surround myself with those who constantly want to learn, who believe in beauty and creativity. People who can hold intelligent or at the very least interesting conversations.....
"I need to be cleansed It's time to make amends For all of the fun The damage is done And I feel diseased I'm down on my knees
And I need forgiveness Someone to bear witness
To the goodness within
Beneath the sin Although I may flirt
With all kinds of dirt To the point of disease Now I want release From all this decay Take it away And somewhere There's someone who cares With a heart of gold To have and to hold"
