let's get to look at each other first, talk, share.
then, when there is a happy thing between us, then let's be friends.
wait and see; you may not like me.
about me
i've been in the states now for 13 years or so; i live in an old graveyard in baltimore; i type slowly; i'm 46; i make stuff; currently i work on illustrating a book of poetry for kids and i use it as an excuse to not do much else; i love people but i'm alone most of the time; i'm not religious; i have three dogs and four cats (four! i never saw it coming); i was born in tel aviv,israel; i was once asked if the bible had been translated into hebrew; i read a lot; in my back yard you will find an old blue car, three motorcycles, cats, dogs, tomato plants, a bunch of dogwoods and other trees, my husband (well, he does get in sometimes),bicycles and about 600 head stones;
i'm a painter; i'm a designer; i love food (food is good for you,eat food everyday!); i don't have children; i don't go out much; i've lived in a few other countries; i think cream cake is good for you; i'm sophisticated; i have a great walk-in closet; i love perfume; i'm messy; as a child
i thought there was a grown up code, i'm still in the dark about that; i love colours; i love shoes; i miss girlfriends; i like to tell people that i used to be a bombshell but i gave it up so the new generation gets a fair chance at it; i'm pretty tall; i stay up late and sleep all morning; i know how to shop, i mean, i really know how to shop! i can't sell anything though; people ask me always where i am from, even when i'm in israel; i have two fireplaces, one of them works; i like to walk barefoot; i like to wear high heels; i love funny; i love music; i love quiet;
i don't like burgers; i prefer to not drive; i love to sleep; i love to dance; i'm slangish but it comes out funny in english 'couse it's not really my language; i make up words; i don't work out; i make good coffee; i love steaks; i moved to america reluctantly and found a good reason to stay; it's still really hard, but then again,for me a lot is hard , anywhere; this is the most religious country i've ever lived in; i've never lived in Saudi Arabia though; i have been trying to find friends on line for almost a year now, on all kind of sites; how i miss girlfriends! i don't capitalize first letters, it would take me forever to type anything; i don't capitalize anything, really; i don't owe money to anybody, i realize it's very unamerican of me; there's a grey streak in my hair,caused by trauma,my boy died; my mother in law calls it silver;
i love my in laws; my husband is 12 years younger then me; somebody asked me once if he were my son and i said ,yes, he is *just* so much trouble, and she said ,oh i know, i have a seventeen year old too.

negative freedom (or liberty) stands for freedo...
