Female

38

I was born in 'the valley' in southern California but I swear I don't talk like that and I moved around too much to call any one place my 'hometown'. I lived in Colorado for a time and then back to California where I still live with my husband of 11 years. I did live in Phoenix for five years but I am really trying to forget that time. The only good thing to come out of that city is my Angry Chef of a hubby.

I enjoy painting and ever since buying a house six years ago I have taken that hobby to the walls. Saturated color is the only way to go so now I've got a Moroccan thing going on with lots of dark red and gold. I like to garden and write and all the other artsy things that go with people like me and I love spending time with my friends at our 'commune'. I have two cats, Micah and Asher; who keep things interesting and fun and are way better entertainment than TV could ever be.

I collect nude photography, mostly of women. I also collect rocks and bits of interesting wood that I find, and hands. No, that isn't a grusome habit of randomly chopping off hands and preserving them in jars. I have a hand fetish so I buy any interesting hand sculptures/candle holders/etc. that I find. I'm up to 10. They are harder to find than you may think. I love to read and books with a supernatural flavor like the Laurell Hamilton/Kelly Armstrong/Kim Harrison/Laura Anne Gilman books (which a friend calls vampire porn).

I am quite open minded and I can't remember the last time I was offended by anything. I like discussing life and everything that makes it interesting. But to quote a friend "I do not tolerate willful ignorance or intentional cruelty."

Feel free to wander around.
