Heroes
my momma. ramona quimby. rizzo. diane keaton. pat benatar.
pinky tuscadero. and these people:
i talk a lot and very fast but am a good listener. i adore my cats. i snap a lot when i dance. a bob seger fanatic. i could live on cheese pizza. pretty fair and easy-going but excitable too. not hard to please.
i don't believe we do enough for the planet or for mankind. so here's a teeny little something we can do while we spend our time on a computer:
Who I'd like to meet: people who are real and not trying to be over-the-top or "cool". people who believe in second chances. people who don't let negative ideas entrench their thinking or perception. people who believe in creating harmony and working towards peace. people who aren't judgemental or hold grudges. people who can appreciate, even if they don't necessarily like, my love of Tori as well as my love for classic rock. people who don't label people. people who are open and honest. people who can let loose and have fun. people who will sit and watch bad tv with me (and maybe eat a pizza too). people who will go dancing with me. people who will walk in nature with me. people who need people. they're the luckiest people, after all.
