About Me
~ Keen Observer ~ Radically Optimistic Human Being ~ Mercenary Jester ~ Words have always been, both m'nemesi and trusted friends. I truly ADORE verbiage, particularly of a piratical or perhaps occationaly leaning more toward a "southern-belle" style. I am often found, pen in hand, scratching away in a Molskine notebook.
