About Me

  • About Me: Years of catholic school, people watching, and being a military brat, have shown me that...Reading books in public, deters strange conversations with creepy men. Music makes time travel possible. Kindness is always rewarded and remembered. With friends, quality beats quantity - everytime. Family loves me, but they don't always mean well or know best. Sometimes, I get lost, but writing always helps me find my way back. Being critical and judgmental are two different things. The smellier the dish, the tastier it is. The more I smile, the crazier I seem. Laughter is a fun aphrodisiac, but then again, so is chemistry...oh yeah, and love laced sex is the best cure-all ever!

    Haha. Now the table has turned. Almost 2am, and I took a nap from 10 - 12. Yup, I'm going to be up all night watching History channel. Don't mind my random chats. I tend to do that.
