Introduction About my blog: I welcome comments but won't publish them if you don't sign your name to them, no matter how right you may be. But I might make suggested changes to errors I make, if you're right. :) I'm a girly-girl with a warrior instinct. I'm outgoing and a complete spazoid, yet quite introverted. I need my friends, but I need my space. I'm intense, big-hearted, and opinionated. And apparently, judging by all the things I've posted, I'm a yapper. At least, electronically and over the phone. Not always so much in person if you're around me for too long. :)

What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding in a gingerbread house?

a six-foot high pile of marshmallow fluff. THEN I can be like that model on the album cover of Whipped Cream and Other Delights.
