Bio
Hmmm..... I'm here,online. I'm afraid of computer's to be honest. They still confuse me. And the scary thing is- I'm one of the best with them at my work. Which is not that exciting, I do data entry with large amounts of cash and file papers and run errands and spend time goofing around when I can at the local hospital. (Don't wory- I don't have anything to do with the medical side! Strictly office!)
My real loves lie outside of work. I love writing, actually, so this could get long winded, but I'm severely out of practice.
I practically worship bellydancing now as a graceful, sensual art form..... and let's face it, a really great work out. I think it's a wonderful way to connect with other women and and my body in a positive manner.
I really enjoy art, although I know very little about it. A great deal of it makes me go- "What the f...?" Other pieces make me stare in awe, others I find interesting or trite- I don't have a lot of knowledge to base this on, just going with what I see. I'm thrilled to go to the Frist Center (perhaps despite its namesake) and go as often as I can. I've been taking a painting class, and am hoping to start a drawing class. I've taken pottery for the last three years or so-mainly handbuilding,I loved wheel but can't afford both. And am currently working doing cleaning out their to pay off my class. (I kept threatening to show up in a French maid costume the next time I have to dust.)
The two things I've loved the longest in my life are music and horses (or animals). I like many different kinds of music. I had some musical training as I was growing up, although I fear I've forgotten most all of it, and took years of piano and flute and voice lessons. (Okay specifically, about 8 of piano and flute and 3 of voice- and I've forgotten almost all!)
I actually do enjoy classical, (sometimes I feel like listening to a live concert is just listening to the musicians pour out every emotion in me that I can't find a way to express) but then when I'm alone, I'm just as likely to put in some middle eastern music, or jump to Tori Amos, System of a Down, Dido or Jem, Patti Griffith, Enya... I like many more kinds of music than I actually own the CD's of.(And I don't have internet now, so I can't download any either.) The only kinds of music I *really* don't care for are most country and most rap (but I did like a lot of Eminem's (sp?)stuff- does that count?)
So far as my great love- (I have a lot of interest, can you tell yet?) I rode horses from the time I was 6 until we (my family and I) sold them when I was 20. My parents owned three at that time. That's been some time ago now, but they still hold a very special place in my heart. I also like cats in particular, and dogs. I kinda' like iquanas and snakes and birds too.... but I find they're a lot like little children oftentimes, a wonderful joy, but you're glad to be able to send them back to their owner.
I do enjoy reading, but lately haven't had a lot of time for it! :)I became a Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" addict over the last two years-an accomplishment as slow as I read to get thru all those! And I love Harry Potter, as all sane people do. I do indulge in the *gasp* romance novel's here and there-they're fun! And dabble in everything else from herbal,cooking,and medical books to feng shui, lapidary, children's books, Tao Te Ching,Conversations with God and LOTS of Joseph Campbell.

So, that's me in a really large nutshell..... maybe more like a grapefruit peel instead of a nutshell?
