Your joy is your sorrow unmasked...When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran -- The Prophet
Lovely lady with a functioning brain (!), working on my M.A. in mental health counseling. My current class is Research Design and Methods. (BORrrring!!!) I have a genuinely fascinating life history, and I'm looking for friends who love all the good things that life has to offer. Music, travel, my two cats, camping, liberal politics (left-wing commie pinkos only, please), and fun and laughter are my primary interests. My secondary interests you will have to find out for yourself!
I'm the only child of the late, great jazz pianist and composer Russ Freeman, who was "instrumental" in the careers of Chet Baker, Shelley Manne, Art Pepper, among many other great jazz artists.
My Philosophy
To continually strive for my own self-actualization, in spite of any adverse outside circumstances or distractions of happiness.
What Gives Me Hope
Monty Python, Mr. Show, Reno 911, South Park, Ali G, Lenny Bruce, Penn & Teller, and Judge Judy.

What/who changed my life and why
The event that changed my life is becoming disabled with fibromyalgia in 1997, because it taught me that it's not your physical accomplishments that count, but rather who you are as a person and how you treat yourself and other people. Career achievements don't matter to me, but personal integrity and a persistent sense of humor definitely do!
