hiya TTP welcome to our cool club

Thank you...

care to tell us more about yourself?

Well, hope you don't mind me posting the info from one of my pages. I have very crippling fibromyalgia and arthritis (and we are trying to get a definite diagnosis for Lupus), so I hurt constantly, my hands hurt and swell...especially when its rainy weather, as it has been lately here in Atlanta. Its a bit of a novel but since I like a lot of stuff, I find it important to be very detailed. I have OCD...details are ALWAYS important. LOL

I'm about 5'3, black hair, green eyes, fair skin, tattoos and piercings. Just a short, chunky, cute lil midget and I am totally adorable. I am white and Native American Indian. I look between 18-24, everyone says I look like a baby. Despite the tattoos and piercings,and having a dark look and style, deep down I am an old fashioned, country girl at heart. I am a tomboy but still very much a lady too, and I expect to be treated as such. If you are looking for someone who is perfect, look elsewhere. But if you are ok with perfectly flawed, then I am perfect! LOL J/K I am an awesome person though!

I have a pitbull mixed puppy (Alaskan Malamute/Timberwolf/Pitbull/Greyhound), Padfoot and rescued American Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier/Boxer, Mahoney. My pups are my kids. They are my life. If you don't like animals, I won't like you.

Interests are varying and wide. I collect toys, t shirts, and anything I think is amusing or odd. I love to read, have hundreds of books. I have a passion for art, really into graphic design/digital scrapbooking. I LOVE to cook/bake. I used to volunteer at the Cobb County Humane Society and homeless shelters but still do charity work on occasion. I love music, films, ethnic cuisine, RPG's, Anime, Mangas, Digital Art/Scrapbooking, Graphic Design, vampires/werewolf stuff, art, crafts, Harry Potter, reading, history/documentaries, true crime, camping/fishing (hate hunting for sport!), horses, BritComs, tea houses and obscure coffee shops, fine dining, going to the opera/theatre/cinema/museums, pitbull rescue, GLBT rights, tattoos/piercings/body art, kink, and lots of nerdy stuff in general. I am also starting a home based business for aromatherapy. I also do graphic design and photo editing/restoration for hire, and make digital scrap kits for sell. I'm intelligent, well educated and cultured, thanks to my great mum. Love meeting like minded people whose idea of fun is hitting a great art exhibit at a museum or seeing a foreign film at the cinema. Not a big sports fan. Though I would love to take Padfoot to see a Braves game when they do the Bark In The Park (or whatever its called). I spend a lot of time hanging out at a place called Giga Bites Cafe, a geeky gamers haven. A little cafe where you can play all sorts of role playing games. I am getting back into Magic The Gathering after almost 20 years of not playing. I am also a new member of The War Dolls there, a group of girls who support girl gamers in the gaming community.

My beliefs are a mix of different beliefs and Native American Spirituality. I was raised in a New Age and open minded home by parents who were people of science and nature. I am a Unitarian Universalist and attend a UU church on occasion where people of all faiths, races and sexualities/preferences are welcome. Our creed is "We need not think alike to love alike" and I live by that principle every day in my life. We are all on the same journey on the path to spiritual enlightenment to become one with the Great Spirit. I am very spiritual, not religious. I have a good set of morals and values and wish more people also had them. My personal relationship with God is just that, personal. I'm not looking to be converted, I am happy with my beliefs.

Musical genres: New Age, Native American, World, Reggae, Classical, Metal, Classic Rock, Gothic, Gothic Love Metal, Punk, Musicals, OLD Jazz, Big Band/Swing Jazz, OLD Bluegrass, 50s, Country, a little R&B, Opera, Soundtracks, Trance, Industrial, Techno, Alternative, Blues and glam/hair bands. Not into rap, hiphop or a lot of screaming metal.

Fave Movies/TV Shows/Books: Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, vampire/werewolf, native american, asian horror, anime, drama, musicals, history, indies, documentary, disney, mystery/thrillers, classic/b&w,british, foreign, some comedy and romance, sometimes a little action. Few fave shows: King Of The Hill, Monk, Law & Order, Bones, True Blood, Weeds, Big Love, My So-Called Life, Friday The 13th: The Series, House, Criminal Minds, Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, Pit Boss, Bones, American Horror Story, Once Upon A Time, Grimm, The Walking Dead. I love Adult Swim: King Of The Hill, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Boondocks, The Mighty Boosh and more. I love BritComs. Love yaoi/yuri manga. I read a lot of books on history, Native American culture, world religions/philosophy, alternative healing,Poetry, Art, lots of fiction : horror, vampire erotica, fantasy are my faves. Love: Anne Rice, Stephen King, Shakespeare, Poe, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, J.K. Rowling, etc. Huge Harry Potter and LOTR fan.

Hi there! Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Thank you, everyone. I had heard about the site awhile back but forgot about it. Came across it by accident again last night.

BTW...did I mention?...I am a very proud mum to the most beautiful rescued pitbull mixes in the whole world. I saved their lives and they saved mine. My red girl is Mahoney and the black brindle is Padfootin' Moony (named after Sirius Black and Remus Lupin - Yes, I am a Harry Potter nerd lol). I brag on my kids often.

Welcome

Thanks...but I just may not be sticking around after all. Disappointing.

now why are you disappointed? how have we all let you down?

Wasn't you, hon...wasn't "all". Just a rather rude person is all. I am just trying to keep in mind some people might not have the best manners and social skills/upbringing as others. Its just bloody frustrating is all when someone makes you feel belittled and your ideas are stupid.

some jejune thoughts then... you have just as much a right to horn in here as the other folks. don't let stupid people dictate what you will do, if you can help it at all. be more stubborn than the nasty folks. in the movie "midnight cowboy" the crippled character Ratzo Rizzo is crossing the street when a cab tries to usurp his right-of-way,, and ratzo turns around and bangs on the hood of the cab and shouts, "HEY, I'M WALKIN' HERE!! !" in other words, from one aspie to another, please show some fight.

it should not matter what rude or nasty people think of you and your ideas, what only matters is what YOU think of yourself and your ideas, the other people can just go and suck an egg, AFAIC.
