Libra

I'm a web designer by day and a theater geek / photographer by night and on the weekends. I often feel like I've struck the perfect balance and then too I feel like I've so much further to go. I'm working on rebalancing the equation by starting my own theater company someday. I'm hoping that I'll be able to be in a rehearsal hall without worrying about whether or not I can afford to be there. I'm a gushing romantic way down on the inside and a crusty old curmudgeon on the outside. Always the definitive Libra, I'm often vascilating between extremes while trying to maintain a sense of self. Some people might think I'm a little nuts but there's a core there...It has too much to do with my inability to allow the uncontrolable universe to spin on it's own without my own medling. I've been called manipulative more than once. Sometimes I'm greasing the wheel and other times I'm the handbrake on my own success. When I fall I fall hard. I risk a lot and expect a lot in return. People around me often confuse my quietness with indifference and are surprised when I lose my cool which happens occasionally. I think I've stretched my boundaries with almost every experience and it often makes me feel like like there's so much further to go...which is a good thing most of the time. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by it. High standards are a must and I expect people to live up to them even if I don't come out and say it. I will never, ever, ever again paint my bedroom to match a lamp...I hate "reality TV". If you want to know more, look at the pictures of my tattoos...you can learn a lot there...My true friends are selfless and loving and I thank the powers that be for gracing me with their presence...New and old, they're true friends...Some have burnt out and gone their own ways. Some I had to lose to become healthy again. The ones with staying power and grace will always be here...I'm thankful for them every day.

Oh, and I have a blog because I'm a slacker too...

People who respect the balance of things and will focus outwards as well as inwards. People who realize that giving is the best way to get. People who make me forget that there are such things as codependency, and enablement...People who make things and make things happen. People with flexibilty...People that are in "it" for the long haul. People who are genuine and honest. People that don't feel the need to announce themselves when they arrive or take center stage when it's not their turn. I'd like to meet people who will take all the good with all the bad and will someday find themselves sitting on the porch laughing, and sipping whiskey while reminiscing about all the stupid stuff we've done.

If you're hyper-critical or overwhelmingly negative, it ain't gonna work out...
