8 Things About Me....



...that I can't believe anyone will ever read:) Thanks a bunch Marleeen (Grrrrrr...)!

1. Like most people that have done this I have a cat. One. Her name is Lucky and she is 19 years old and very mean. I also have an enormous dog named Clyde, he is mostly black Lab, I found him four years ago when I was living in the country. He wandered around the neighborhood with another dog who I named Bonnie. One day Bonnie began to bark at my door and when I went outside to investigate she led me Lassie- like to a hollow under a tree.... I found Clyde (covered in blood) curled up and very near death. He had been mauled by something so I picked him up (he's over a hundred pounds, adrenaline kicked in :) and took him to the vet. I was informed by the vet that his real name was 'Shadow' and his previous owners had brought him in two years earlier to have him put to sleep because they were moving. Naturally the vet declined (! ) . And so they moved, leaving Clyde behind.

2. After he recovered I took him home (Bonnie too, of course). Bonnie died in her sleep a month later. I feel like she found Clyde a home and was able to finally let go. Clyde is the most gentle and soulful dog I have ever known and I am very grateful to have him in my life .

3. I smoke. A lot.

4. I am an artist in RL and work with photo emulsion. I have had shows in New York and Seattle.

5. I got married this past May for the first time. His name is David and I am very lucky 'cuz I'm a big freak and he still loves me.

6. Here is a pic of me in RL - see above...

7. I was adopted and found my biological parents when I was 18 and 19 respectively. It worked out well. It's hard to not know a thing about your background. Especially when you are little....

8. I hope and pray that George Bush and his cronies haven't ruined the world forever.


Okay... I do not believe in tagging. Plus, anyone who I even vaguely know (or even ever heard of) has been tagged already so........

I must say that it's kinda nice to see what people write about themselves... especially in SL, where you have such a different type of connection. !
