Comic book fan. Mother. Domestic abuse survivor. Teacher's Pet. Freak. Pantheistic solipsist. Happy. Did I forget anything? I have one husband, one son (14), two daughters (16 & 19), four cats, a dog, and a huge garden.

I make my own candles and jewelry. I am a passable cook and a patient teacher, an eager student and a loyal friend. I was raised Catholic but have been Pagan since I was 17 years old (or thereabouts). When I die, I plan to donate my corpse to the Body Farm in Tennessee.

Twice married, once divorced. Open-minded but not stupid. Flames not welcome, but honest, intelligent discussion is.

As evidenced by even a casual perusal of this journal, I am about as anti-Bush as you can get. I won't flog it around in other forums or on other peoples' journals, but I do post about it here because, after all, this is my journal. I am waiting (probably futilely) for him to go down in the big fat metaphorical flames of impeachment, which I doubt will actually happen, because everyone knows that the people, courts, and Congress of this country only care about impeaching a president if he's had sex with someone who isn't his wife.

However, I reserve the right to delete comments here if people start getting abusive to me or other commenters on my f-list. I will support your freedom of speech to the death, but I won't put up with trolls. Fair (and only) warning.

If my username suddenly shows up on your friends list, it generally means I've friended you for one of two reasons: I know you from somewhere else (Yahoo discussion group, Black Bayou, etc.) or I ran across one of your entries while meandering here (Metaquotes, someone else's friends page) and decided I liked your writing. Sometimes I'll actually ask if I can friend you, but sometimes I don't. However, I'll take you off if you ask me to. :) Also, feel free to friend me back, but no pressure if you don't wanna. If, on the other hand, I notice one day that you've friended me (I hope you'd drop me a line, but it's not necessary), be warned, I counter-friend at the drop of a hat (as soon as I've noticed...some times it takes a while).
