I always forget that we ARE the stuff we listen to, collect, read, share, eat, make love to, pray to.
Thanks for the introduction further into your personality and life.

okay I want to let everyone know that I have not reneged on my writing duties for alyx. He wrote me well over 2 weeks ago saying he was coming back to blogging. SO I have no idea where she is. I figured she changed her passwords so I won't try to commandeer the site because of neglect. But anyway if anyone went to the Margaret Cho The Assassin Tour I recently posted a review on my blog if you are really bored and need something to read while waiting for his grace. :-)

Knottyboy - Thanks for the sweet comment!

Stoned Bunny - As for you, you little curmudgeon, I have been busy and thought i would get back to blogging, but the world and my office conspire to hold me hostage. I will be released soon, and will be back to my usual magnaminous, effervescent, brilliant self.
