What I Want to Do:


 
Have spare positivity?
I've just had a hectic and stress-filled move (that happens when you're given ten days' notice to relocate yourself and your things ;)), and have been feeling physically and emotionally unwell, so if you're one of those kind souls who has some positive energy to spare, I'm in a particularly good period to send some! Any positivity you send is *greatly* appreciated. :D Thank you from the center of my being (currently under construction ;))!

About Me I'm an eccentric, with a mind for issues -- both mine and the world's. My closest friends are creative, intelligent, compassionate, and often troubled ... rather like me! ;D I just started my own business, and someday I'd like to be approved by Co-Op America. I see the forest more than the trees, and the patterns therein; and I demand justice for the wrongs that are being committed every day, on levels micro and macro.
