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.

A moving written piece that your young son will, hopefully, be able to read himself. Such a blessing he is Miss Cara Mae. And sir Torin is equally as blessed to have someone like you as his mother. Hug him and love him so. Sons always protect their 'moms' when they grow up. VOTE

(note: I am not asleep yet and am still online... bad, naughty, evil Cara) Torin really IS a blessing. He is the brightest light in my life :)

Such a sweetie! When my son was born, the song "You Are My Shining Star" was the hit and it has been 'our song' in my heart. There's nothing like a little boy to win a mommy's heart and soul. Perhaps it's because we want to protect the only time in their life as a 'man' that is innocent and full of vulnerability. Loved my daughter just as much, but now she has a boy and a girl and knows what I'm talking about. Enjoy, the grow too fast. My son is now 24 but just as loving and close to me, even though he's married to a wonderful woman! Savor those precious moments (and keep those clipped curls for memory books!LOL)

I've only got Torin and no other little ones in my future... but he's just a really special child. Everyone loves him and he's quite the charmer when he wants to be... He's my little cuddleboy :)

The beaty of a child is more powerful then the greatest image. The love of a child stronger then anything ever given. I love it. Well done.
