About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to believe in humanity when my first response was so superficial as to insult my "grammar and punctuation." if that is what is most important to you, if you feel it would effect my ability to be a decent human being, please don't bother to reply. thanks!

ABOUT ME

**i use small letters on purpose! if this bothers you, we probably wouldn't be good housemates anyway!**

i am currently joining to find a couch for bumbershoot weekend, and am excited to see where this might take me one day...i've always dreamed of visiting far away lands...........................................

i love music and my life. i am a queer woman living with the woman of my dreams and our little family of fuzzy faces. rascal is my maine coon kittyface, lyra is the siberian husky wonderdog and spohy, the (*grumpy!*) maltese mix. my love is currently attending graduate school to get her masters in teaching--middle school math. she is so smart. <3 i am currently working my butt off as a phlebotomist in a very busy outpatient lab in downtown portland. I LOVE MY PROFESSION. i have worked as an EMT on the streets of las vegas for a year and found i was a skilled IV starter. some people are good with numbers...i am good with needles. :) i love meeting new people and learning about this planet we live on. i also love learning about astronomy. music is a huge passion--it has saved my life many, many times. <3

PHILOSOPHY

treat others how you want to be treated. and i don't even believe in god...
