Who am I? I don't know really. I've spent a lifetime and will spend another discovering that, but I am well on my way. I am unique, by most people's descriptions and for as many different reasons as the people who have said so. I am a survivor. I am not a bookworm, but I am a devourer of books. I was reading Russian Philosophy by the age of 8. As I fill my bookshelf you will see my tastes range from the simplistic, almost guilty, pleasures to diverse, dry literature that challeneges my thought processes. From children's stories to black hole physics, I love books and learning. I like things that build up new worlds in my brain, caress my imagination like a lover and turn my world so upside-down that I am crushed when I hit the last page. I am selfish with my books, my copies stay my copies, for inbetween the pages is the world I dreamt among the words and I'd not have you disturbing my worlds... I protect them all selflessly. My books are the majority of my most precious posessions. I believe in the covers of books lay our last great hope for mankind's survival.

On a less philosophical look, I am a mother, a daughter, a child of .... something. I haven't discovered that yet.

I have inspired poetry, tattoos, art, photography, sculpture, new dishes of food, journies, music, and many a great and talented person out there I dared to believe in. If they were artisan, writer, or just an average person trying to find a path to live travelling... And never has a single one let the world down... and they couldn't ever let me down.

I have modelled, danced (classical mostly), acted, written, lived in Germany, taught, been in bands (in 3 currently as vocalist and lyracist.. one as writer), am a mother, was named once "Nature Woman" by naturalists at a preserve, rock-climbed, cliff jumped, and dreamwalk. I have helped so many wonderful people and am never afraid to help one more.

Don't let me fool you I can be a real... mmm... well... I'm not always so nice. Who would want to be nice all the time?
