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 can feel the emotions you describe within this piece, but I am unable to fully comprehend the depth and severity of them. I wish there were words I could utter (type) to help soothe the sting of them. Heartwrenchingly moving. hugz

The important thing is that she came to see you. She hasn't forgotten you either... :o) I hope things become less hurtful for you, I know the pain of losing someone very close and she comes to see me sometimes. It gives me comfort and I hope it can do the same for you in your situation. Take care.

I love the style of this one. It's amazing what you say with so few words! Wonderful!

" thanks... she often appears in my dreams but I can never quite understand what she says..." -- Miss Cara Mae - most cannot understand what T.P. says either. WINK. Tell me, please, the funniest thing that you and your mom ever laughed about? V

Well there are a couple... #1 - my oldest neice was a toddler and she'd been sent home from nursery school for swearing. Mom was mortified on behalf of my sister. Same day, Tonya's Poptart breaks in half and she comes out with, "Jesus Christ! Look at my f*cking Poptart!" Another would be the weekend after my parents had new carpeting put in (the first new carpets I'd ever seen) Daddy drank an entire thing of his own homemade wine, got blissfully pissed and puked in every room with new carpet as well as falling through our glass door and then puking on my siblings as they put him to bed. My Dad annoyed the hell out of my Mom, but he also tickled her funny bone and he loved her very much :)

Words can weave so many pictures. But more often that not the picture they paint holds a more infinite realisation that she that wrote it. Or just simply beautiful.
