I write alot.Thats how I express myself. I don't share most of it. Its my own therapy and release. I have been doing it since I was very young and could probably write a book.
Culinary Arts. Expressing myself through food.
Listening to various music.
Bicycling.
My children all have various preferences/artistic mediums. I enjoy sharing these with them. My ex husband is an artist and has been compared to a modern day Picasso. He has art on display in several galleries in Denver.He plans to move here in June and start up an artist co-op /Gallery. We hope to set up a website so that he can sell to his customers in Denver still but he wants our children to have an opportunity to learn more from him and to support them in their endeavors while I pursue my education.
Jacob draws and his preference is pencil and pen and he has sold various items at the art show at school and to friends. His next project is going to be Picasso's Guarnica in Pen on canvas. Marrissa loves various mediums and is enrolling in college art classes now, no current projects.
Christian skateboards and I support him at competitions. He aspires to be sponsored by a professional skate team.
MOVIES
Pay it Forward, Pursuit of Happiness, What Dreams May Come, Theres something about Mary, Love Guru,Twilight, 50 First Dates, Adam Sandler Movies...
MUSIC
Too much to list...most everything except not really a big rap fan, some old school rap maybe but not really current stuff, I really like Renee Olstead's voice, I like Evanescence, Muse, Cursive, Paramore, Linkin Park, The Cure, The Smiths, Iron and Wine, The Turtles, Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20),Simple Plan, Nirvana, Beyonce, Usher, Prince, Carlos Santana, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Hoobastank...so much more.
Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Most recently read these and was unable to put em down...finished all four in 5-6 days. After reading em really hated the movie.
I love a man that cooks for me, likes spending time together but is confident and secure enough to allow breathing room. Non conforming. Sensual& sexual but monogamous in a relationship. Will grab my hand and hold it for no reason.
Feeling like I'm the only person in the room that knows or understands what he is thinking vice/versa even when we are on opposite sides of the room. Mental and physical intimacy no holds barred. Open and honest even when it hurts.
"you love men who are outwardly dangerous, brooding and mysterious but with gentle, loving hearts. You appreciate his innate reserve but love it when he opens up to you and shows his true passionate self. Your ideal date would be a ride on a fairy-lit horse-drawn carriage then a private dinner at his house. Your ideal relationship would be filled with mystery and passion."
TURN OFF'S
Insecurity. Chauvinism. Judgmental. Bullies. Arrogance. Stupidity to a fault. Unable to say yes....always says maybe(big pet peeve of mine!) Always having to schedule things...
Talking about it instead of just doing it. No Motivation. Perfection.
ABOUT ME
I'm the kinda girl that .......
when a guy brings me flowers:
carnations=cheap,
roses=overdone,
wildflowers/daisies=keeper.

if a guy takes me to dinner I will eat, but when he cooks me dinner then he may be considered as dessert.
wants something original and outside the box.
doesn't want to settle for less.
wants a guy to look me in the eyes first or when speaking to me then allow his gaze to wander down... not vice versa.
is always well behaved but struggles with my inner bad girl who always wants to sneak out and almost never gets to.
had a one night stand that tormented me with guilt for months after especially about how stupid I was to have been plied with alcohol even though my inner bad girl was pleased.
is usually always attracted to the wrong kind of guy.
when a guy comes on too strong or too fast I run fast.
can hang out all night with the guys, go home alone,
or sleep in the bed with a guy without it being sexual.
can befriend a guy easier than befriending a girl.
when my interest is peaked, I'm attracted to only one person at a time, not fickle.

It has been a while since I have been able to chat. I have been living at the softball park. Hope all is well and we are still working on the issues on your page. That guy is like a one night stand he just won't call ya back. Hope your summer is going well. We are taking a vaca for 2 weeks so I am so excited. I will fill ya in with photos when we get back. We are hitting SD, WI, and NY.
I'm not sure if this is the correct respone forum, but I'll try this.
Thanks, Renee,
Actually, I just stumbled across the site yesterday, and I will be posting more material. Thanks for the contact, and I'm sure there will be plenty of individuals on this site as it grows and gets known. As soon as I get my website back into shape (I've neglected it for two years, and have not posted new works and I've over 200 new poems since I last made an entry on the site), I'm going to link this site to it as well as a few others.
Again, thanks for making contact, and I'm sure we'll exchange more work as time goes on.
Just wanted to say hi....cause I have not chatted in awhile. Hope all is well. I have been working on a multi-media project and it is taking lots of time. But it feels so good to be working on it. When it is done we will put it up on the site. Have a great night.
It is June 2. The best part is I celebrate for 6 to 8 weeks. I do this so I can incorprate all friends and events into life and say well its my b-day month...Why not? As for your b-day any big plans? In any case no matter what you do I send you happiness, fun, and happy thoughts.
Thanks. I do write for a lot of reasons. Among them is it is a form of therapy for me. I feel like I have to get it out...whatever it is...so I can heal and love and well be a better me. I hear what you are saying about some things are just for you. I have those as well tucked away for me.
