"Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'." -- Rincewind discussing Twoflower (Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic)Well, those who know me would say that if it weren't for bad luck, I would have none at all, but I try to have a sense of humor about life. The past seven years have been especially difficult, but things have been looking up recently and if I make it through in one piece, it should give me a lot of strength and wisdom. I like most people and love to talk their ears off, have a great deal of empathy and compassion though it's sometimes tempered by my moodiness, and I absolutely adore critters, especially cats! My work has almost always been in factories and as modest and trying as it may be, I'm not sure I could see myself doing much else for a living, though it would be great at some point to spend part of my time as a volunteer counseling others. I love kids even though I know they are a big challenge, but don't have any of my own yet, aside from my three crazy kitties who are my only companions. That just about covers it, have fun on CT!
