about me
a little bit goth, a little bit hippie. sometimes a little bit rock and roll. never country.

insightful.

i have really strange dreams. sometimes they deliver messages.

i start books frequently but rarely finish them.

i never feel like going to the movies but after i do i'm glad i went.

i will meet you more than halfway.

i'm a feng shui expert.

full of integrity. addicted to fizzy water. allergic to perfume and cologne (i am known to get mean about this). you know that feeling you get when you see puppies and kittens? i would like to bottle that feeling in beautiful handmade glass vessels and hand it out to people randomly with a huge smile and watch them light up.

Writing a testimonial for Tribe is an exercise in ass kissing. So, without shame, I pooch my lips and succumb to the charms of Ms. Stephanie... a delight of a woman who shames us all with her deep grooviness.

Stephanie rates 90th percentile on the ARETE test. What with user pics, the easiest thing to notice is the divinity of her form. Surely some Mediterranean war must have been fought in a vain attempt to impress her. But read her posts. Beneath that Aphrodite-limned exterior hums the brain of a sister logophile. A woman of piercing intellect and voracious curiosity. To sew it all together, she does not neglect the spirit. She is compassionate, patient, positive and constantly striving for even better. Really, the only way Stephanie could score higher on her ARETE test would be if she suddenly took up the heptathlon. Or had Diebold score her test card.

Stephanie is a divine trinity in her own right. Her triple threat attributes being: brains, beauty, and a posse of goddesses and avian dryads one would be foolish, if not suicidal, to cross. I feel blessed to have seen into her world, and bewitched by what I have found there.

Stephanie is great- fun to be around, trustworthy, caring, and a great friend!
Pretty, smart, a good writer, loves dogs and birds, and can find great fashion for a bargain.

Stephanie is a smart and interesting person and a charmer and a beauty and, I'm happy to say, a friend of mine. I haven't bought her a present in a while - that's probably a mistake. Even though the world has some kind of sick fascination with her butt she is actually someone with many better-than-average attributes. And a cool outfit that zips from the front all the way to the very back.

Stephanie, the fanny fatale'!What a beautiful, grounded,intelligent,funny,sexy,sweet woman! Wow! I just thought she was another super hotty, until I started getting to know her...she is a true woman of substance.Real people.I worship the seat she sits upon! The greatest surprise was her taste in music...it takes a certain kind of woman to be into Nurse with Wound and Throbbing Gristle...Heart Core!

Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, you are an amazing being!!! A great friend, trustworthy confidante, pre-Raphaelite temptress and a beautiful and courageous person to boot! Rock on sister!

Musing Allowed

Dear Friend,

This week, Senators Dodd and Feingold won a battle in the fight to stop the FISA capitulation: they've delayed a vote on the bill until after the July 4th recess, which buys them more time to shore up the votes they need to defeat the bill.

However, it's unlikely they'll succeed without real support from leaders in Congress, most of whom have already abandoned us: Senator Reid caved in long ago, and Speaker Pelosi finally folded last week. There is one major leader left who... read more

I know this probably isn't the popular opinion 'round here....but I have to put it out there! How can someone who has NEVER VOTED ask for votes? I've taken issue with this from the beginning and will not read the rest of Chicken's platform. It stops there. It's a perfect example of hypocrisy in action.

Quintin Mecke has my vote. Regardless of whether you're voting for "second choice" or first or third...aren't you still voting your ideals? Making a statement about who you really *want* an... read more

it stinks!!
i splurged on it for my birthday because it's art and such a cool concept...and it seriously blows chunks. i got my "issue" this week. if the "art" wasn't offensive enough--it's not what i'd call art, silkscreening black print on a vinyl window shade--the text the "editors" sent with it was. it explained the "art" as if to a five-year-old and i think was trying to justify it or something.

The inane descriptions of the project were self-congratulatory: ("Kind interns touched u... read more

where oh where are my boggle sets?

i am missing both of my boggle sets, and i vaguely remember leaving them at a party--or maybe with a friend who borrowed them? i do vaguely remember parting with them, with the idea it would be temporary.

and now i have no idea where they are, and i want them!

can you be my memory?
