"I love humanity; it's people I can't stand."--Charles M. Schulz

....and I'm 17 1/2, although the body is (ahem) much older. Born in 1962; you do the math.

I'm the one of our group who's out front the most, has the closest connection to the body, and does most of the external things during the day. I don't like to use the term "host," because that implies that this is my purpose in life. My purpose in life is to be Laura. Period, end of sentence. So let's forget the H-word. Yeah, Allegra's with me most of the time, but you get the point.

So why is a 17 1/2-year-old "driving the bus," so to speak, down the road to our collective healing? I haven't the slightest idea. I just woke up one night around New Year's 1997 and found that I'd somehow been pushed up front to the driver's seat; the bus was in motion at the speed limit, and I was on a six lane highway during rush hour. The rest, as they say, is history.

It's not, however, how I want to spend my life. Certainly not caught up in the corporate world of Manhattan, commuting in every day to spend eight hours doing stuff that I think is totally meaningless. For what? $$Cha-CHING!$$. There but for the grace of our twice-monthly underpaycheck go I, a person who would like to spend my days like Winnie the Pooh, doing nothing in particular.

Maybe someday.

In the meantime, if you're feeling bored, go visit caution my agn*stic page. If you're really bored, go visit my last page (I changed it because I realized the beach stuff was about others and not about me) and caution Rachel's and my original page. Or go read our blog, which you can get to from our Talk to Us! page.
