I am 30+ Libra (w/ Leo rising) and a Rat born in the hours of the Tiger; writer, amateur photographer, a single mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an eccentric individual.
BTW, the pics I use here (and in my gallery) are taken by me and copyrighted by me unless otherwise noted.
Please also note that I have a thing about eyes, especially my own...
This pic is a portion of some writing I did on the apt bldg I lived in last year with my son's chalk... BIOpics of my friends, family and other things
(I'm so lazy, but it's much easier putting in links so if you are really curious you can satisfy your curiousity fully) ;>
I love all types of music but prefer dancing to old school goth and industrial. I read alot, mainly sci-fi, fantasy and horror.
I take a ton of pics with my digital camera (which you'll know if you went to my pic site).
I love cats and am indifferent to dogs.
I have classified myself as a pagan for a number of years but wonder if even that is too much of a label and am rolling around "spiritualist" as my new self-imposed label.
I am a survivor.
Got the diagnosis on my son on Dec 16th 2004 and he is autistic though they think he's mildly so and will be higher functioning...
My adoptive Mom died of cancer on Nov 2, 2004 and words cannot convey how I feel about that. Though I do a lot of various emotional purging with my poetry.
I may also write about how I feel since I ended my marriage in January of 2005.
I also tend to be rather opinionated and have no qualms about sharing those opinions and it's possible you've come here after reading a comment I've left on your work or something I've said in a forum...
P.S. I write #1 for myself, mainly to purge things that poison me (so it's usually dark stuff) and with the occassional sweetness or humour-filled one thrown in. I also write and share my work so that other people who may feel the same or similar to the way that I do, whether or not they've had the same life experiences, can realize that they are not alone in this world and that other people do understand.

My sincerest sympathy. I can fairly say I identify as I too lost my mother after a long illness not too long ago and lost a dear to heart furry companion at the same time. I am certain writing about it relieves some grief, it is what I did a lot of at the time. Time does not heal all wounds it only fades the scars. - S.

Some scars never fade, they stay iside like a piece of glass that cuts each time you think of them. You are in my thoughts, and I wish peace for your soul. Lina

Cara, Your pain is evident as mine heart aches with you upon the touch of your words. I have hurt with you and thought about you as your family too, all day upon first reading the news here, and I thought about what can I say here and now to you to help comfort you and at one point I almost came to say nothingbut then I began to think of the time I lost my mother and remembered how I wanted someone else to say something, anything, instead of all the silence. Anyhow, Cara, your mother loves you, I know you know this, and truly, she is always with you. Even though you will have moments you may think different and yearn and hurt to hold her, hug herdo so know my friend, she is there holding you every day, and every step of the way your life shall take you. HUGE HUGS, my heart weeps with you; as my sincerest sympathies go out to you and yours!

Cara - I'm so sorry. I can't help but cry because I can feel all the pain she has been through and all the pain you have felt. Your angels are with you and your mother is one of them. :( Hugs to you and your family.

I'm so sorry Cara-Mae. I know you've been expecting this, but I'm sure that thought has done nothing to lessen the pain of the reality now facing you. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family in this difficult time.

sigh, I know you are in for a hard road. My dad died 9-11-00. It gets tolerable, but things have never been the same since. Good luck.
netsia
