About me

Gender Female
Location San Diego, CA, United States
Introduction I'm a 37-year-old San Diego native who lives with my 14-year-old daughter Morgan, and my two crazy basset hounds, Copper (11) and Elphaba (2). I tend to have an opinion on almost everything, even if it's as simple as; "My opinion on anything having to do with Paris Hilton is that even taking the time to tell you I have no opinion on her is a huge waste of my time." When I write I tend to write things exactly as I feel/see them at the moment. My opinions are subject to change at any time, usually due to the presentation of a reasonable contrary argument. I welcome comments, differences of opinion, and of course support if you agree with me. All I ask is that everyone is respectful of everyone else in their comments, these are my opinions, and that's all they are. Please remember that the same can be said of your opinions, they may be yours and you have every right to them, but respect that they may not be any one else's.
