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.

I was peeking in tvernuccio's gallery and Lina, I don't know if I didn't know you were Italian or if I did know but forgot but, though I don't speak the language at all, my birth mom's dad (my Grandpa Sangoi) is from Northern Italy.

Cara, this is truly gut-wrenching stuff... I really feel for you at the moment and hope that at least the knowledge that there are people out here who care (even if we are kinda ineffectual), will be something to help carry you through these tough times. Peace to you.

Your pain is felt and shared on so many levels. Sometimes we can be alone even when the whole world is around and people often miss the pain in your heart and minds. We often wear masks to hide this, but in art, poertry and writing our truth is revealed. Truly well written and heartfull. hugs

Wow..your words clearly communicate your pain and anguish. I am sorry to hear you going through so much. Hang in there this too shall pass.

self-hugz are good, so are hugz from my wee man and my hubby... I'm just glad I can write, if I couldn't I don't know how I'd be purging my pain -- by opening my veins? by drowning them in a bottle? shrug who knows
