November
Yesterday
America went to the polls. The idea of course, was to elect a new
president. They failed to do that. At least, they failed by any decisive
margin. As it stands today, George W. Bush has taken the electorial
vote by a margain of only 1800 votes out of over 90,000,000. Incredible.
Simple incredible. No matter who takes office, they go with the knowledge
that literally half the people in the country did *not* want them there.
Florida
will recount their votes, and it may even come down to a single vote.
This may be a very good thing in American Politics, allowing the populas
to once more become aware that their vote does indeed count. One
never knows just how things will turn out. The tide can turn either
way at this point. It is a curiousity. Never has there been
a vote so divided
nor
a people so unswayed.
Personally,
I didn't care for any of them entirely. I don't detest Gore, like
many of my chosen party seem to. Yet there are things which certainly
bother me. Still, I am well aware that we put humans in this role,
and ultimately, humans are fallible.

Interesting
question, one I suppose I'm not entirely sure of . To me,
life is a
discovery of who I am... Others are mostly
enhancements
or detriments to that knowledge.
I have many
interests, mostly along the artistic lines.
Music, many
types, classical mainly (being a piano teacher
brings that
out) but my tastes are eclectic and run the gambit.
I write music,
and sing. Theater; the self-discovery of good theatre
fascinates
me.
Art, visual
and conceptual; I am a calligrapher and illuminator. Also an
art docent
for the local elementary school. I adore books,
of varying
kind, mostly again the classics. I was a dance
major, danced
Ballroom in competition and in Romania and
Bulgaria.
I love Italian food, Mexican, Chinese, French
and American...I
love people, and adore trying to please. I
have a need
to be needed I guess, before I'll feel comfortable
opening up
and sharing anything at all. I could be many
uncomplimentary
things, but none of them are intentional.
My hair is
my one vanity, thick long and deep auburn.
I love dark
nights with warm cocoa and sweet unending conversation.
I am intensely
sensual. I adhere strictly to the doctrine I have chosen to adopt.
My imagination
is food for more experiences than I'll ever
participate
in. I hate to cook and love to iron. I've never had
a broken bone,
or to a hospital (besides 4 babies ) or felt the
intense anger
of another.
Talking is
my second favorite activity, next to listening, but
not on trivial
matters. I want to get a Masters in psychology
in the future.
I love having my feet rubbed, and nothing is a
sensual as
a back-rub. I wear many 'hats' and play many
roles, I am
a compulsive person who tends to obsess on things
until they
are accomplished. I am sensitive, supportive,
completely
forgiving and fiercely loyal. I give my heart slowly,
but when it
is given... it is forever.
I adore Monty
Python's Holy Grail, and have a side that is
hardly seen
by most. I dislike animals and children to a large
extent, adore
the colors red and purple and have an open
mind about
many things. I am unafraid of a mirror or self-examination, and love
walking in
the rain. Sunsets delight me, and I do not like being
poked. I am
intensely imperfect, striving constantly for perfections
in little
leaps.
Much more to
be discovered I suppose, but that is a start....
