Not only is this girl a heap of flowing good energy, she's fun to camp withand stayed positive when homeboy lost the keys and she had to stay in a stranger's parents house, she also wrote me my first ever testimonial. Here's looking forward to a long rewarding friendship!

OK - So there is this crazy girl welder writing me weird testamonials... Just kidding!
Seriously though, Angry Butterfly is a beautiful and sincere woman with a heart the size of the Playa. But instead of playa dust on it, there is glitter. And glow toys. She is certainly a butterfly of the rarest sorts, but in reality, she is hardly ever angry... Unless she has been in a metal box in the desert welding for 3 days straight. She is a core crew member of Recycle Camp, and a shining beacon for those who want more out of life. She designs the coolest clothes, and has the most beautiful smile. Her hugs are Playalicious to the hilt, and she must have been trained in seduction by someone knowledgeable. How else could she have enticed me to sit still while she plucked out my hair one by one for hours while I sat still... Twice even. OK, so she was actually braiding it, but she also washed it twice, conditioned it and Bio-silked it for like 3 or 4 hours on the Playa. That's some hardcore shizzle for real. She listens to trance, which is funny because no one who has been a raver as long as her still listens to that crap... Still, she has this classy playa-bunny demeanor and is a wonderful party compatriot. I look forward to kickinit with you on the playa homegirl! Keep it DUSTY!

Dream weaver, magic believer, hidden hunter and mad artist.
Sarah be all this with a bitch slap ta boot if you try an step up yo (SD in da house:).
Seriously though, this woman has been one of the most unexpected influences in my life. Y'all probably don't even know what your missing if you underestimate this potent dreamer.
In chaos theory they say that a butterfly flapping its wings can effect the weather all the way accross the world. Well this butterfly will most certainly change this world as soon as she's ready.

Not liking Sarah really isn't an option for me considering how alike we are. In fact, my friendship with her borders on narcissism. She's loud, talkative, funny, down to earth, and wicked smart - a thinker and a doer. She can make beautiful works of art, but also fix your curtains. Like me? Fuck it, she's better than me.

Sometimes when you’re traveling on the highway of life you get distracted and maybe miss a turn. Your diversion leads you down a back road that passes thru the quaintest little gold rush town ever.
Sarah is that gold rush town.

I want to be this person every day.
I've been thinking a lot lately about Names, Given Names, Chosen Names, a lot of people ask me about my Playa name, so I'm making a little module about it:
My Playa Name was given to me by my dear friend Justice, who took me to my first Burning man, I'm named after Fire Toys I built for him. Its a long story. The name is more accurate to my personality than anything I could have come up with for myself.
Here are the fire toys:

A lot of people use my playa name in real life as well. I live in a predominantly Black neighborhood and nicknames are a big part of African American Culture.
My given name is Sarah, this is one reason the nickname gets used a lot. Sarah is a ridiculously popular name. I have grown to love my given name because I'm the eighth of nine generations to have the name on my maternal side, and I'm feminist enough to think thats pretty bad ass. Surviving are my aunt Sara, Myself, and my second cousin Sara. My sister in law is also Sarah, one of the reasons I did not change my name when I got married, I let Alex have the last say on it, he really wanted me to keep it, it wasn't even really a question, it would have just been too weird.
"Why are you Angry?'
Lots of different reasons. I'm not always Angry. Please see Aries testimonial.
"don't be angry"
don't tell me what to be!!!!
But Seriously, people are too afraid of Anger just because its a powerful emotion but, so is love! are you afraid of that? Well, a lot of people are. But Anger doesn't have to be destructive, it can change the world. Anger isn't something to be feared, its just an emotion. Learning to handle emotions is a lot of whats healed me over the past few years. The name helps me. I find Power in it. And it was a gift. I actually use the name as a filter, people who don't get it probably won't get me.
"What makes a butterfly angry?"
Well, what doesn't? Seriously, here's a list of things that make REAL butterflies angry:
Global Warming
Habitat Loss
Genetically altered corn
Invasive Species
Pesticides
Bug Zappers
Cars
Lizards, Frogs, and Cats.
And, Finally, as Bart Simpson Said:
"Nobody ever suspects the butterfly"
I feel terrible. My throat feels like its on fire and I can't talk. I really wish I were at work. I hate being at home these days. My house is messy and my couch smells like cat pee. And the worst part is:
I'm burnt out on the ghetto. It's time for this little experiment to come to an end. If I stay home from work, I have to listen to these jobless losers screaming at each other and I've had it. What the hell do these people DO all day? THREE years, and every day that I stay at home becaus...

want to know how I make my clothes? heres a post describing how to make those leg warmer hot pants things from old clothes:
reconstructedclothing.tribe.net/th...927
warning: you may just decide to buy them after you read it. not from me. mine aren't for sale
Please let me rant again, because apparently some people don't know... oh for the love of all that is ACTUALLY holy, do not call me "Goddess" I'm fucking sick of it. I'm sick of women using the fucking term, I'm sick of guys using the fucking term to get into women's pants. I say that because a good 90% of the time a guy calls me that it's in an attempt to get into my pants. The other 10% it's because they have forgotten my real name, and my nickname, and want to get into my pants... I'm not exaggerating because my close friends know not to fucking call me that. If you want to get in my pants, please just tell me, you may call me one of my many fucking names, or just be hot enough, calling me "goddess" is pandering and it does not flatter me or turn me on, it just makes me know that you don't know me. Want to know me? Keep reading, look at the shots of my clothing and artwork, its pretty easy to get to know me actually.
Here are a few more of my many problems with using the term "Goddess":
I'm not a fucking immortal. good. It is the transient nature of life that makes it so sweet.
I'm not a goddess, I am a woman, thats good enough for me. I like being a living breathing stinky bleeding human woman. Why the fuck do we have to exaggerate our damn selves to feel empowered, what the fuck? Being HUMAN is cool in and of itself, being ALIVE is cool in and of itself.
I have, and have always had the idea that my personal higher power or powers, which I frequently call God, is gender neutral. Goddess implied that immortal beings have a gender, and frankly, I think they are beyond that. Thats why I find the term offensive to my personal sense of spirituality.
While we are on that note- can we throw out empowering one gender over the other yet? I don't and don't want to "feel a special bond with my sisters" I feel that with anyone of any gender I choose. All dividing people up by gender is driving me nuts. If anyone needs to be empowered, it's little boys.
Ok, I feel better now.

about me
I really really like to build and make stuff.
I'm taking what will probably be a permanent break from teaching art to inner city kids right now after three years on the front lines, it was my fall back career anyway.
I watch way too much tv, if you can call it watching, since I'm usually doing something creative while I'm watching TV, the more interesting the project the trashier the show has to be. You see, a lot of people call themselves artists but have trouble with the craftsmanship part. I avoid that problem by turning off the part of my brain that says " Pinning this is Boring, Basting this is boring! Pressing this is Boring! Just sew it already" by occupying it with total trash TV. You should see the stuff I made during the Anna Nicole Smith thing.
In addition to watching too much TV and sewing too much, I don't get out nearly enough, after years and years I got my husband to agree to an open relationship. I love going out dancing and don't do it nearly enough. Speaking of dancing and not getting out enough, I spend a lot of time in the gym. It started with Ballet and now its pole dancing. Yeah, I'm a welder who pole dances, how hot is that?
