I'm a nurse, and a full time college student. Which tells you a little about my life, but not so much about me per se. So, to get personal:

I'm an odd mix of esoteric and earthy: I'm spontaneous yet practical; highly energetic with a love of philosophy and the arts. One of the oddest contradictions I embody, though, is a deep interest in both things scientific and things spiritual. I often find myself speculating on where the two meet, if they do.

I love people. I mean that - sometimes I don't like the way my life is affected by the things they do, but I enjoy them nonetheless. It is my belief that I can learn from every person or situation in my life, no matter what perceptions I have about them.

I'm amused by odd things. (i.e. the look on a man's face when he's looking at a stripper and thinks no one is watching him. Or a woman who makes a snide comment and as she walks away I see toilet paper trailing from the heel of her shoe.)

Enough said. :)

I love to write, and I do so profusely. Copiously. Passionately. Both prose and poetry. For example:

***********************************
Less than human


Castles made of air
And desire
Dissipated in that moment
As your lips pressed upon my own
In a Judas kiss.
Drinking deep the bitter waters
You made me your drug.
Less than human
Yet somehow more.
A Faberge goddess
Elegant in the gown of your
Misperceptions
Clothed in your idea of love
You set me upon a pedestal
And waited for my fall.
Intoxication your intent
Until the chalice emptied
Unable to offer the deliverance you craved.
What then?
Another goddess in the garbage
Another chalice cracked and thrown away.
No.
I slipped from the ropes of your intent.
I drank from your chalice,
Intent on my intoxication.
I pulled you from your pedestal
And clothed you in the image
Of how you truly are.
In this, as in a mirror.
And the knife in my back
Looks suspiciously like the one in yours.
Truly, is this love?

I also love to sing - I have a voice that I've been told was made for the blues. Which is good for me, because I enjoy singing in that genre. Doesn't matter if I'm good or not, it's the pleasure I get from it that counts.

I can have fun anywhere, doing anything. I don't need to be entertained.
