(I really wasn't born in 1921...I think I would have liked to have been alive then, though. Or at least go visit.)

Hi!

I never really know what to say in these bio things -- I figure the journal itself tells most of the tales about me and my world. But in order to give a little bit of info, we'll play 5 and 5:

Who
1. California chica prone to accidents and lucky streaks
2. Married, with teenager
3. Hopefully soon-to-be-quitting-the-job-as-a-STEM teacher
4. Contemplator of Grad School(tm)
5. Writer of secrets, novel beginnings, and one act plays

What
1. Liberal
2. Equestrian
3. Avid reader
4. Contemplator of All Things
5. A writer, at times

Where
1. Mountains of Central California
2. In a big house with an amazing view on not-enough land (srsly, 2 acres is not enough)
3. Amid cats, dogs, wildlife, and my beautiful horse.
4. Usually 53 miles west of Venus
5. The best place I've ever been

When
1. I'll post when I'm angry
2. I'll post when I'm sad
3. I'll post when I'm happy
4. I'll post when I'm amused
5. I'll post when I've had way too much coffee o.O

Why
1. I write about my life: it's a busy place, so there's always fodder.
2. I write about books because I want to remember what I read
3. I write about the daily bits and pieces because sometimes my LJ is a running commentary
4. I do not write about my sex life because it's sekrit and would make you all frisky
5.I write about the things that inspire me and make me want to be a better person.

.

I love reading about others and never mind when someone adds me -- so if you're feeling so inclined, add away and let me know. =D



"Who are you really, wanderer?"--
and the answer you have to give
no matter how dark and cold
the world around you is:
"Maybe I'm a king."
