Urban Word of the Day

Abbreviation for postmodernism. Usually hostile.

The journal took a pomo turn round about 1990, but it seems to have recovered since.

Get Hype-

I am so deeply saddened by the death of Dame Anita Roddick that I am not even sure I can convey my message at this time.

I don't think any one person has ever inspired me as greatly as she has.

When I went to her book signing of Troubled Waters in 2004 I was so moved/touched. The information she presented about the global water crisis not only stuck with me because of the gravity of the situation but because of the passion she presented it with. My passion for the water crisis and the... read more

Tensions between Niger's government and the nomadic Tuareg peoples have been recurring for many years. In a violent turn, soldiers have been deployed to Niger's uranium-rich Tuareg lands-- we urge the President of Niger to reconsider the military solution and open dialogue with the Tuareg Niger Movement for Justice, NMJ.

about me
What can I say about me? If I wasnt me, but I knew me, I would definitely want to be my friend and hang out with me all the time. I live to travel and I love to live. I love to dance. I have a really cool cat. I have moved 33 times now. I have called 4 states and 3 countries home at one point in my life. I have the coolest friends in the world. When I am reading a really good book and it is almost finished I get really sad and read really slow so it wont be over. I dont read as often as I should. The people in the offices surrounding me are always annoyed at how loud I play my music. I got caught belly dancing in my office once. I miss living in Europe. I went to Europe 3 times last year. I may move back someday. Sometimes, when I am at the gym, I get so into my music that I dont realize that I am singing out loud and I think it bugs the people around me. I dont sing very well. I like the gym. I like wearing my headset to the grocery store and dancing while I shop. I have more wine than I have shoes. I wish I had more wine. I really like wine. I like to joke that my blood type is cabernet. I dont think the red cross would think that is funny. My best friend and I can communicate in 4 languages. Sometimes we have conversations and have no idea that we are switching between languages. I like speaking lots of languages. I want to learn more languages. I like V8 juice. I think V8 is good with vodka. I think there is something sacreligious about putting vodka in a V8. I have way to many random thoughts going on in my head at one time.

my testimonials

Carleigh is a people mover! Have you ever noticed that where Carleigh goes all the bellydancer's just show up? I think perhaps she has a special inside scoop of where the haps is! Extremely dedicated and full of sugar! Thanks Carleigh for making things happen around you, this community needs you!

Carleigh is one of my dearest soul sisters. I am so blessed to know her and have her in my life. I can identify and relate to her and the way she is on so many levels, its not even funny. She is my co-conspirator in my life and I am so honored to share her passions and dreams to do good things in the world and bring people together. Finally someone who can understand the complexities of my emotions as a woman, obsession with bellydance, the arts, international relations and so much more. I wish only the best things for her and look forward to many, many, more beautiful years and amazing experiences to come. Love you girl!
