About Me
"Tounge tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit I.." "Blessed are those who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed." I am bipolar and have panic attacks, and an eating disorder. I was first diagnosed almost 12 years ago, I am now on a good combination of medication and feel good:) I am married, my husband is very supportive, and we have two children, they are 12 and 8. I'm a stay at home mom. The thought of a job honestly scares me to death, thank goodness I don't have to work. My wish is for one day to spend a carefree, happy, fun day with my family...with no worries. Yay! My wish came true!
Interests
I used to have quite a few. Naming them now would just depress me because I have no interest in anything anymore. My movie favs would have to be The Meaning of Life, Best in Show, A Fish Called Wanda, American Beauty, The Devil Wears Prada, Rear Window, and Terms of Endearment. I am really good at movie quotes, my one talent. I like Extras, The Office, Project Runway, and my obsession is LOST. Music I like The Violent Femmes, Stone Temple Pilots, Bon Jovi (still), Tom Petty, Van Morrison, and INXS. Let's see who else, The Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, I really like about everything.

Hug
I never thought five faces were enough to cover the bipolar mood spectrum. They need a "middling to poor" and a "hysterical" and a "unfuckingbelievably miserable" and a "why bother?" and a "WHEEEEE!" don't you think? Love ya sis.

Hug
Hi sweetie... I am... tired. I gotta go back to my sucky life tomorrow. I am a little afraid one of those Big Bad Depressions may be coming on. But, you can't feel sooooo good if you never get a little down, right? (And yes, you DO know how I feel, I'm wonderful, he's wonderful, the whole world is wonderful!) I hope you are better. I'm sorry I'm so wrapped up in everything right now.
