Once Upon a Time an uptight family member called me a “hedonistic pleasure seeker,” intending it as an insult. He didn’t know he was being redundant. It became an inside joke between me and my sister and I’ve worn the label as a badge of honor ever since.
Today I am a dancer, a lover, a mother, a student, an adventurer, a sensualist and a libertine. My geeky government job feeds my teenage daughter, finances my shoe habit, and generally frees me from the domestic graveyard of matrimony. My personal status is SINGLE and NOT REALLY LOOKING TOO HARD. Should I fall in love again someday it will probably be by accident.
This blog is the main outlet for my creativity, a place where I dump whatever is on my mind. Everything I write here is the truth as I see it, unless I write of illegal activities and you’re in law enforcement, in which case I made the whole thing up and have no idea what you are talking about. I started this weblog to document all things personal and pleasurable. I was going to avoid delving into politics, as so many other websites do better jobs at it, but . . . I . . . just . . . CAN’T . . . RESIST. Seriously folks, if the state of affairs in this world hasn’t infuriated you, you’re not paying attention. Join the Truth Tellers of the blogosphere and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Silence is complicity. Enjoy Net Neutrality while you still can!
