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.

There are many things in this world of ours which is beyond wonderful, little miracles that surrounds us all. But with happiness comes its opposite, this can hold us back and bring us down. We do so easily drown with in the turmoil it can bring. It does all reverse though. It does all get better, and we can rise from the ashes of disaster and float up into the sunshine of this world. It just takes time and love. I speak for myself when I say that your posting are an inspiration. Your writing holds in it many dreams and then lets them fly. I hope all goes well for you soon hugz ben

Yes it is a depressing little poem, but it's brilliant and perfect in it's simplicity and shortness. Whatever you're going through I wish you the very best. From your writings I can tell that you're a strong person. I know you will be ok. ~hugs~ Leah

Erhk, the sun, how I hate it. However, if it destroyed all the people of this planet?.. Hm. That could be a good side. But whilst it sits there creating heat. Erhk. I hate it.
