Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

Sadly, jack(ass) of all trades is a good way to describe me. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different things, and I’m much above average at most of them. But there are relatively few things at which I would call myself adept. I used to joke that I’m full of potential, but what I’m lacking is kinetic. (Um, that’s a science joke, for you non-geeks.)
I tend to be really passionate about a lot of different things. I think most people don’t understand how that can be. I don’t have an explanation, but it seems to be true.
I’m an artist and a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom). Neither pays the bills. Being home, while having many rewards, has not been good for my confidence. I often take up hobbies outside the home that help remind me that being a SAHM means I’m neither unintelligent nor socially inept. (And by hobbies I mean I go to school or get a job.)
I don’t like conflict, which is probably why I tend to avoid talking about my views of politics or religion. Though I usually have strong opinions about how things should be, I pretty much share those ideas within my comfort zone. The world wide web is not exactly my comfort zone.
I’ve been told I write the way I talk. That may be partially true. I speak very fast and I don’t speak in complete sentences. Fortunately, my writing does not (usually) reflect these flaws.
I don’t think I’m a drama queen, but I sometimes like to deliver words and gestures with a little theatrical flair. Um, sometimes a little more than a little. Usually, it’s when I’m talking to myself. More often than not, it’s with a not-from-Michigan accent.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
