Nothing and nobody special. I suppose someday I’ll put something more meaningful on this page. Until then . . .
What I think are the really great things in life . . . laughing; writing (painting, drawing, whatever else, but foremost writing); sex; exercising my intellect; working out (especially yoga and most especially inversions); smoking a little weed; having someone to talk to; Chinese food; my laptop; and using semi-colons! Not necessarily in that order. It totally depends on my mood, the circumstance and whether I’m hungry.
“I need a place where I can shout and weep. I have to be a Spanish savage at some time of the day. I record here the hysteria life causes in me. The overflow of an undisciplined extravagance. To hell with taste and art, with all contractions and polishings. Here I shout, I dance, I weep, I gnash my teeth, I go mad —all by myself, in bad English, in chaos. It will keep me sane for the world and for art .” – Anais Nin
So thank you for stopping by and please feel free to comment. I enjoy them immensely.

I just want to thank you again (my first thank you is back on my “Email” entry) for your comment. It made me feel a million times better than I had been feeling to know that there’s someone out there that understands how I’m feeling.
You truly make me smile. I’ve been reading through everything you’ve written and, blimey, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? Your words are lovely. Never stop writing; I’ll be checking back often.

Guilty!, Why do we women always feel guilty. Is it something hard wired in the female system? Maybe you say guilty, but it’s because the other feels are too hard to think about or it slips thru your fingers.

I haven’t talked to you in a while . . . but I’m back . . .
Miss Demure, you were one of the very first to read the Las Vegas site. After four months straight I’ve finished the first part and I’d like to invite you to visit the finished product. I think you’ll be surprised how much it’s changed.
Love your words, keep up the excellent writing

Thank you very much for commenting. Thou art sweet to be so kind. I hate to think I’ve stolen anyones “desire” but…. actually I am not quite sure what stealing someone’s desire means. I’m assuming that’s a good thing, or something of the sort.
I like your quip about the “semi-colons”
Maybe someday you will teach me how to use one correctly, I still haven’t quite figured those silly things out. I keep telling myself “It’s a conjuntion, it’s a conjunction.” and all I can think of is that Shoolhouse Rock song Conjunction junction and I start singing “Conjuction juction what’s your function?” and before I know it I just slap in a period or a comma.
