| Introduction | I don't know what I want to do, but I know the woman I want to become. Barely controlled chaos, you'll have to take me as I am. At some point or other in my life, I have attempted to be (or been involuntarily), sometimes successfully, most of the time not: A dedicated writer, a spoken-word poetess, a playwright, a devout Catholic, Atheist, creator, destroyer, daughter of pain, priestess of renewal, fighter, ally, enemy, jealous lover, willing concubine, fearless warrior, teacher, feminist, womanist, Queen of many Lands...A contradiction. I love to travel & journal, and I am quite convinced that my life should have a theme song. Laughter and the occasional good cry are sometimes the best medicine and can oftentimes fix anything. I adore my family and friends and I am completely dedicated to them wholeheartedly. Intelligent conversation turns me on, and I am a firm believer that education is the one thing no one can take away from you. I am tickled by surprises, baby laughter, cupcakes, and old couples that still hold hands. Cherry blow-pops, tootsie pops, and Popsicles are my favorite. And nothing beats a guava smoothie on a hot day. |
