BIRDS: Oh my birdies! Every summer I get anywhere between 30-100 orphaned, injured, or otherwise debilitated baby birds, and through the year I get some adults, too. This started the very first year I worked at The Bad Place, and even though that all went to hell, I totally believe that this was one of the reasons I had to do my time there. Some of the birds end up being non-releasable and I keep them for the duration of their (often short) lives. Those become my very good friends. I've had birds missing a wing, ones who were stone blind (my sweet grackle Ray,) ones with communicable diseases (my crow who has avian pox,) and currently I have a robin with some severe neurological disorder or a brain tumor. As long as they are not in any pain, as long as they eat, drink, bathe, perch and sing, I don't euthanize them. The birdies mean so much to me.
ZOMBIES: I KILL THEM, YES. Well, in Resident Evil I kill them. I also: have nightmares about them, dress up as them, do movies about them and write stories about them. I think most stories are better with some zombie action. My own stupid novel has brain-sucking zombies in it. My first "encounter" with zombies was in the movie "Mausoleum" which still gives me the shivers to this day. I saw that crap when I was 10 and it scarred me for life. It was great!
HOT BOYS: Ahh, my husbands! You know, I couldn't probably even define for you what is "hot" to me. It's like an ever-changing paradigm. Usually I like tall, dark and weird, but there's the occasional blond beautiful boy, and holy crap am I partial to redheads. Ewan McGregor in Shallow Grave? Umm, quite possibly the hottest thing there is. Also, I tend to make a total moron of myself whenever goodlooking men are around; I know I can never measure up, so I just kind of sputter and look away. Pathetic!
HULA: Actually one of the ways in which I define myself. I started it kinda on accident back in late '98. My belly-dance teacher gave my friend and I a free Hula lesson for Christmas. She kinda never got into it, but I was hooked that very day. Since then I've been traveling all over the country, and to HI a few years ago, to study Hula, learn the language, chants, history, etc. I perform all over the damn place and it's one of my favorite things to do. Finally--FINALLY--this May, I have an official teaching job. ^_^
KUNG FU: Another self-definition thing for me. This is my therapy. I go twice a week (wish I could do all three!) and I never leave the kwon but that I feel accomplished, refreshed, young, joyful and loved. Some of my closest friends are my training brothers and sisters. In fact on Wednesday the Empress said to me, "I think that when new people come into our school, they see that we have something awesome. Not just the Kung Fu, but us. We all seem to really like each other. I think people understand that and they want to be a part of it." She is a wise young girl. The "family" aspect is a big part of Kung Fu for me. Even if the family is dysfunctional in some ways, heck, what family isn't? Anyway. Kung Fu is my fountain of health, physical, emotional and even mental. :)
