About Me:
I am very short, but this has only ever added to my allure. I rarely have to duck, I fit into most spaces and I've never gone on a date with a man shorter than me. I like to visit short countries like Thailand and Mexico where I can make lots of eye contact and nothing is out of reach.
I work with little kids and have mad job satisfaction, which is rare these days. I teach elementary schoolers about organic gardening and feed them blood oranges and kiwi fruit. I teach them why they should eat a rainbow and we watch ladybugs eating aphids with magnifiers. They clap and cheer when I come to take them out to the garden and they even eat the broccoli I give them. How can you be in a bad mood when you spent all morning planting strawberries with kindergarteners?
I just went back to visit my family in New Orleans and I can't believe the hurricane didn't knock out the stinging caterpillars. Is there no justice in this world? If you grew up in Louisiana, you probably also have post traumatic stress disorder about the caterpillars. If you've never been stung by a caterpillar, you are very lucky indeed.

Who I Want to Meet:
I'm looking for folks I haven't seen in a while. I'd like to conjure a few people up and see how they are doing these days. I'd also like to meet a few people I might not know, but probably should.

into such a small package?
your side. she makes you feel at home
and puts you in your place all ath the
same time. and she can drink you under
the table!
characters or less... She's the Claudia
to my Louis. She's the man in black,
no stranger to the bottle, but her blue
eyes are shinin' from the dawn to the
day. Some may say that short people
got nobody, but they don't know Ms.
Button. She has managed to keep all
her friends from childhood to present,
not only in-touch, but in the same zip
code, even when her zip code changes.
This woman is the epitome of southern
hospitality, and damn can she cook!
Wash the dishes after dinner and she'll
invite you over every night. And you
will show up night, after night, after
night...that's how it all starts.
I was a lonely little girl when Becky
found me, back in the enchanted summer
of '94. She gave me some of her chap
stick and then she gave me a life. She
has introduced me to everyone I have
known and loved for the last ten
years. She has feed me, clothed me,
and put many a roof over my head. She
seems to know better than I the way to
my happiness, and always sets me down
the right path, then packs my lunch for
the journey. The Boo has this uncanny
knack for telling people the things
about you that you are most proud of, a
good will ambassador of the heart. If
ever you want to meet someone that you
are too shy to introduce yourself to,
send Becky over as your liaison, and
just watch as those seeds blossom into
a new friendship. She tends her garden
with love, shares her blessings with
many, and always offers seconds. She's
the patron saint of lost kittens.

could say a lot about Becky, but
considering the fact that she could
say more about me, and produce
incriminating photos to back up her
claims, I'll keep mum and just say
she's one randy gal. Besides, she and
Kimmie gave me a rubber chicken
keychain for Christmas in 1991, and
also grabbed my crotch lots of times
on the bus. That's friendship.
becky is. and she IS crafty, using her
diminutive stature to sucker the
unsuspecting into wild hijinks
involving her pillory (but only when
the iron maiden out back is already
occupied).
