Welcome to Liamville































































Go raibh míle maith agat!
(May you have a thousand good things! )





Started my new job as Library Director.  Having a good time. 
A cold New England kind of time, but a good one. 
Sorry I've been out of touch.  I'll be better. 
Everyone write to me, fill me in. 

But on a personal note, an Update for everyone:

For the record, life is good, fun and all that jazz, but I'm sick of
doing it alone. So I'm actively looking for that someone to enjoy
life with.

Looking for someone who is any of these things: Charming, real,
adventurous, open-minded, liberal, brilliant, secure, active,
creative, artistic, laid back, wandering both in motion and in
spirit. Someone who isn't afraid to speak out about things that
matter. Someone who enjoys life and likes to be active. Someone
who loves diversity and everything surrounding it. Someone who
reads for enjoyment, hates heavy metal music and doesn't have
alot of emotional baggage. Someone who loves to travel and
experience new things all the time. Someone who prefers jeans and
a t-shirt to anything else. Looks are not important at all. I am
generally open to most things as long as I'm with someone who is
like-minded (translation: no republicans) with a deep soul, a
strong mind and an open heart who I can have an intelligent
conversation with about anything. Please don't be into car racing
or rodeos... please, I'm begging you. Someone with whom I share
at least some mutual interests. This is an important factor for me.
I've been in relationships where we didn't share any interests and it
was really miserable. I am open to relationships with both women
and men. Yes, I am bisexual, but that doesn't mean I need an open
relationship.   I'm open when it comes to gender, but I'm looking for strictly monogamous. 

Me: Poet, playwright, journalist, Pisces, hate MTV, love
coffeehouse music and jazz bars, Love backpacking and doing
outdoorsy stuff. Animal rights and peace activist, feminist. I also
love to quilt, as well as have dinner parties and play board games.

Please I ask of you these things:

1. Please don't be married.

2. Please don't be in this for a one night stand or a cuddle buddy
with NSA, because I can't handle finding this out after the fact. It
sucks. I'm looking for LTR. I'm looking for Ms Right, not Ms Right
Now. So yes, if you're looking for a temporary fix, please be up
front with that and move on.

of the Drive-In?

Please do join my

group. It's for those of

us who are nostalgic,

and anyone else who

could be.

I can't help but think

how nice it would be

right now to be curled

up in front of the

campfire in the

backcountry

somewhere, writing

poetry and absorbing

the wind and the

surroundings, hearing

the crickets, watching

the flames speak,

smelling the burning

pine that fills the air

with such sweet

aromas. mmmmmmm


My plans:

Thru-Hiking the

Appalachian Trail:

Thru-Hiking the Long

Trail in Vermont:

Might even attempt

Reese Holdin: I just can't believe this
is the same
man who told his six-year-

Christmas was a

and that if Jesus were alive today he'd
be down
in Nicaragua rallying the
Sandinistas.

Harriet Michaels: Do you actually like haggis?
Charlie Mackenzie: No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

About Me Let's see. Well, I'm a Peace Oriented Free Spirited Bookworm. Yep. As far as taxes are concerned, I'm a librarian, a poet, a playwright and a journalist who loves being on-line, but I am somewhat happier with a typewriter. I'm a pisces, and if you met me and talked to me, it would be obvious. I am an INFP. If you know what that means, you'll appreciate it. If not, well, just ask. I love basically everything in life, any music you wouldn't find on MTV, the arts in general, dusty books of poetry no one has ever heard of. I'm a true leftist on basically every issue, particularly gender issues and animal rights, though the environment is up there close to the top. If you have any prejudicial feelings towards any particular groups of people, or don't like animals, please move on. With this administration, you can quickly (they're not even subtle about it) see civil rights flying out the window. I'm a strong believer in the idea of voting with your feet (and/or your passport). I feel at peace in the outdoors, particularly while backpacking and love to travel whenever and wherever I can. I'm half buddhist and half pagan. The Pagan part is certainly only as an amateur armchair kind of thing, while Buddhism is more where my spiritual life is focused.

I am in search of the long and winding road that leads me to somewhere peaceful in thsi world, where people are treated equal and violence is not used as a solution to violence and where people are judged by the size of their hearts and not the size of their bank accounts. Anyone has any suggestions? ;)
