Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

I will say that the environment I grew up in was not the most progressive.

I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

I'm a huge freak, and always have been. I spent the first part of my life trying really desperately not to be one, and it was just a waste of time.

I'm aware of 'Twilight,' but I've never seen the movies or read any of the books. Frankly, the story leaves me cold - why do a vampire story about abstinence?

I definitely see the good in people. Certainly in my own life I strive to be somebody who is functional and well adjusted and can face conflict in a non-emotional and non-destructive way, and those are the people I try to surround myself with in my life. But as characters, they bore me.
