the first thing i have to say, is i'm gay. totally, fully a lesbo. i'm not into men at all. i just needed to say this because i'm getting all this mail from men and i'm not interested.

i have bed-head. messy curly hair.

oh cr@p. this is where i'm supposed to draw you in so that you read my 'profile'. you know...the many paragraphs that capture my entire internal being. well, here it is (and me!) in it's totality...

i'm as far as typical as one gets. and i realize that no one is typical... and now that we all know that...

i love photography. (my favorite amazing photog is gary winograd) and i'm very good at capturing images. i find myself capturing images with his spirit. or, rather, i try.

i'm a lmt (licensed massage therapist). ask me in person about this if you're curious. it's not something i can articulate in a paragraph. it has many layers of expression.

i'm a proud mother of a big, loving dog sable and a shy cat buggy. sable loves buggy. she gives buggy licks often.

i'm a total mixed mutt. mexican, puerto rican, italian, swedish and polish. my skin tone ignored all but the swedish and polish...which is fine, except that i hate having to always wear sunblock.

i have a great sense of humor and i completely enjoy people with an odd, dry sense of humor. also, loving some sarcasm. i love to laugh and laugh a lot. people always remember me for my laugh. seriously. i guess i laugh really loud.

i want to travel, go on a trip in a hot air balloon (update: went on my hot air balloon flight!), planning on going sky diving in the spring...because i want to and why not? cook something different and creative, take a class on flower arrangement, and explore my world.

i have no pretense. i try my best to not judge people and to take them for who they are.

i'm intelligent and incredibly insightful. i've had a unique background in which i can proudly say that i basically raised myself. and it's great that i did. really. which brings me to...i'm very well read in the psychology department. i love it. i find it fascinating. i've been reading these types of books since i was about 13. i've been hooked ever since.

as we all don't, i fit into no box...i'm funny, different, thoughtful, caring and considerate. i'm not 'glamourous' (though i have been told very often that i look like a 20's actress) yet, i'm graceful. and i speak and (usually) act with integrity.
