My Quiet and Well Behaved Page
I guess since this is my page I should say something about me.  First...my name is not miriamglitch.  When asked "a/s/l?" I generally reply, "old woman in Canada".  I'm not old but I am a woman in Canada.  Just as a hint:  most people don't wish to cyber when you answer this way (although there are some who will cyber with a platypus, given the chance).  Did you know that the hind feet of the platypus are poisonous?  If you're seriously considering the platypus love-thing this is something you should know.

I live on the edge of the middle of nowhere.  It's a beautiful edge, but there's no pizza delivery.  I live right in town (population somewhere around the 20 mark) where there is a tiny library, a general store, a school, a community hall and sort of a volunteer firehall.

I am a small person and other people make fun of my little shoes.  I'm addicted to lip goo.  I'm a capricorn.  Please don't hold that against me. 
Me
My Family
I have one sister.  She has known me since I was born, seen my good and bad side for for all those years, and still loves me anyway.  If I forget the torture I endured at her hands as a child (creepy spiders) I can say she is the best sister anyone could have.  Oh what the heck.....she is the best, no matter what.

I have a daughter.  She was born wiser than me and with more fashion sense. She is brave and has a heart bigger than the great outdoors (which, by the way, she avoids at all cost). 
The Beasts
We have 2 cats. Ryker became somewhat of a house cat when he realized he was on his ninth life.  Seriously, I think it's impossible to rahabilitate him.  Benny has been with us for a couple of years now.  He moved in, thrust himself upon us all and said, "Love me!"  So you see, we really didn't have a choice.  He's really large and is afraid of sparrows and much else and is really a bitey cat.

Oops, I'd better not forget the bridge troll...he's a sweet little guy.
My Interests
.....are varied (too varied).  Not gonna list everything cause I just couldn't.

I'm deeply interested in the psychic and spiritual world.  I love plants and don't spend enough time in my garden.  I like to refinish furniture and do crafts. I paint occasionally and read a whole lot.  I love to dance;  please do not force me to do the polka or two-step.

I have a "nice" voice.  Other than that, I am musically challenged and never learned to play an instrument well.  I like almost all kinds of music.... almost.  Limp Bizkit and Korn are not on my Christmas card list.
To My Rant Page
My apologies if this takes a while to load...use this time to imagine worshipful slaves at your beck and call, eating what you want without gaining an ounce and keeping your youthful skin throughout your life.
A Pet-appropriate quote: Pets are always a great help in times of stress.  And in times of starvation too, o' course.              Terry Pratchett, "Small Gods"
A daughter-appropriate quote:
"She hit me on the head with a rock again."
"I think I can confirm that that was my daughter."
"Sweet kid"
"You have to get to know her, " said Arthur.
"She eases up does she?"
"No, " said Arthur, "but you get a better sense of when to duck."

                                                
Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless"
Gnaw-aw...this is my little gi-irl!  Long long time ago and I can still remember.  Each and every day is halloween for her even still.  The house seems empty without her but she was kind enough to leave a lot of her CD's behind.
A universe-appropriate quote:
In the beginning the Universe was created.  This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Douglas Adams,
"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"
A sister-appropriate quote:
When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-of-view is seldom necessary. 
Terry Pratchett, "Small Gods"
There are only four real questions in life:

What is sacred? 
What is worth dying for? 
Of what is the spirit made? 
And what is worth living for? 

The answer to all these questions is "Love".

A generally appropriate attitude quote: Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautions, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.  Tom Robbins
