Bio

Brief History:

Grew up in Utah, magical land in the desert where only white people grow. I am the oldest of 11 kids (Shout out to Mormon breeding) Got married young and had two daughters, then got divorced young. I've lived in Iowa for six years and I hate winter. :)

**** I used to believe in faeries and magic and God, but they never returned my calls.

*** I don't believe in marriage or "traditional" relationships

** I don't have sex with guys who instant message me looking for sex.

* I <3 MIT Students

Deeper:

I'm former daydreamer turned realist. A banal faerie.

I'm an existentialist.

Religion: Sun Worship

George Carlin artfully sums up my religious views:

"First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something, I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know? So everyday I can see the sun, as it gives me everything I need; heat, light, food, flowers in the park, reflections on the lake, an occasional skin cancer, but hey. At least there are no crucifixions, and we're not setting people on fire simply because they don't agree with us.

Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. And the best thing about the sun, it never tells me I'm unworthy. Doesn't tell me I'm a bad person who needs to be saved. Hasn't said an unkind word. Treats me fine. So, I worship the sun
