    My own personal page, where I can gloat & rant, and feel entirely safe in doing so. Well, perhaps not, but this little slice of cyberspace is my virtual profile and I intend to make good use of it. If you want to know something about me, and I don't have it here, feel free to ask and I shall (within reason) put it up for your entertainment. Note: this does not include my address, phone number or certain physical dimensions. Unless you're a cute & single. Or something.

    • Quote : "I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus Cole

    Something Else

    I dreamt that I was walking down the beach with the Goddess. And I looked back and saw footprints in the sand. But sometimes there were two pairs of footprints and sometimes there was only one. And the times there was only one set of footprints, those were my times of greatest trouble. So I asked the Goddess,

    "Why in my greatest need did you abandon me?"

    She replied, "I never left you. Those were the times we both hopped on one foot."

    And I was really embarassed for bothering Her with such a stupid question.
