I am here. Consumed by a world
of ever-lasting anomaly.
I do not fret. I do not fear.
My dreams will live on until the
tides stop and the darkness prevails.
One day, odd will not exist.
Different will not strike panic in society.
Fat girls will take their
hard earned place on billboards, appreciated.
Walk in my shoes and you will see
that I am not mediocre.
I am exactly how I should be.

All truths wait in all things,
They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it,
They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon,
The insignificant is as big to me as any.

I'm an American woman living with my Australian husband in Melbourne. I've lived here since June 2004 and I LOVE it! I'm still very much American, but Australian culture has irreversibly seeped into my being.

Travel is probably my biggest passion in life. So far, I've only been to the US (obviously), Australia (also obviously), New Zealand, Singapore, and Vanuatu. I want to go as many places around the world as possible! My next intended trip is to teach English in an orphanage in Nepal. After that, I want to take a large "round the world" jaunt where I hope to visit India, Tibet, Turkey, Egypt, and Morocco. I am REALLY looking forward to that!

Unfortunately, I can't spend my life traveling and having fun. So, I spend the rest of my time working. At the moment, my main job is as a weddings/events florist business. I'm also planning on opening a shop front in the (hopefully!) near future.

That's about it, really. If you think I sound even remotely interesting, feel free to friend me. If you want to be friended back, please leave a comment so I know you exist. ;) I try not to be completely oblivious, but it happens.

Cheers!
