Bio
About Me
I'm a full-time freelance writer and artist from Northern California. When I'm not either writing or painting, I can typically be found reading, cooking, or maybe even just thinking. I'm engaged to a man I love very much and have been with for a very long time. We enjoy being creative, silly, and ever so slightly misanthropic together (or maybe not so slightly, since a lot of people just seem to think we're assholes).
I maintain a number of blogs and columns around the web. This blog happens to be my personal journal, so I've made the decision to keep it friends-locked due to a growing need to keep my professional/public presence and my online private life separate from one another.
If you know me from around the web or around LiveJournal specifically, you're welcome to drop me a comment and ask to be added. I still welcome new friends with open arms and will happily add most people who want to be on my list here. However, since this is my personal journal for working through emotions and private issues, I won't be adding offline acquaintances, family (except for my fiancé who's already on here), or business contacts to this particular list. If you somehow fit into one of those categories, please understand that it's nothing personal. This is simply a boundary that needs to be set. I hope you understand.
Please feel free to click through to my Google+ profile where you can look around or visit one of my less private pages from the link list instead. Thank you for your interest in my art, my writing, or whatever it is that led you to this little corner of my e-universe.
Do Not Add Me If:
- You're a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, or someone who thinks it's OK to use hateful language toward any social group for any reason. People who aren't accepting of all body types, religions, political leanings, and so forth can seriously go fuck off as well.
- You're superficial, vain, materialistic, snobbish, or someone who thinks they have the right to look down on others for any reason. I detest people who are like this and want nothing to do with them.
- You only want to add me because you saw a photo of me somewhere and you like the way I look. See above. I have no room in my life for people who choose their friends or judge others based on looks, as opposed to who they are as people.
- You're needy or clingy. I don't always have time to update on a regular basis or keep up with my friends list as well as I should. I'm also not the sort to leave a ton of comments when I am around. I don't care to be criticized or badgered about this either. If you are the sort who thinks your friends somehow owe you a certain amount of attention on here, we're not a fit. Hell... if you are hitting that "add friend" button with any expectations whatsoever that you expect me to live up to, we're not a fit.
- You're bitchy, gossipy, or just plain shady as far as how you treat the folks on your list -- not just in regards to me either. Venting is one thing, because even the best of us needs to do that sometimes, but back-stabbing is another. If I notice that you're the type who's constantly causing trouble, playing mind games with people, or talking trash about your friends behind their backs when you're perfectly nice to their faces elsewhere, I'll remove you. You're exactly what's wrong with this world and I don't want to know you.
- You're some delinquent who's constantly in and out of trouble with the law, making a dishonest living doing repugnant or illegal things, cheating on your spouse (or screwing someone else's spouse) while you brag about it in your journal, or doing anything else that could be considered morally questionable. I have no interest in reading about your disgusting life and I won't support you in your choices.
- You and I have ever had any sort of falling out on here before that resulted in me handing you your ass right before removing and/or banning you. No, I'm not over whatever you did or said... even if we're talking about an incident that was years ago. No, I never will be. You lost your one chance at a friendship with me and no, you will never get another one. Once I find out someone is a certain type of person, I no longer have any interest in knowing them and that's all there is to it. You'll just have to find a way to live with that.
If none of that sounds like you and you think you want to see if we'd get along, leave me a comment on my sticky post letting me know. I add most people who wish to add me, but I don't make any guarantees. If your journal is really new, completely empty, or you don't seem established on this site yet, then it would probably help to let me know where you know me from and whether or not we have any mutual friends who can vouch for you. It's nothing personal. However, I do have trouble with web stalkers and other unsavory sorts hanging around here. Surely you understand.
