"The object of life is not be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." - Marcus Aurelius

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it." - Voltaire

"When angry, count four; when very angry, swear." - Mark Twain

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." - C. S. Lewis

"Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is." - Virginia Satir

"Your generation is amazing. You have tremendous abilities; you have resources and technologies that nobody ever had before. You also have some not so groovy qualities: you’re too wrapped up in yourselves, a lot of the time, to see what’s going on outside; you can be far too enamored of gossipy celebrotrash; most of you don’t read anywhere NEAR enough, and when you write, it’s that stupid textspeak. And, frankly, your music sucks." - Patricia Kennealy Morrison

If you're here, you either clicked Random Search or you know who I am. If it's the latter case, either you know me through LJ or you know me offline or you ran into me or my name someplace else online. I know this LJ's in the top five Google results for my name, so it's a given people who know me will find it. Hi. *waves*

-OR-

Possibly I might have added you as a friend because you look interesting. If you never add me back, I'll eventually drop you.

-OR-

Possibly I applied to join your community. This is the least likely option of all, because I don't have time to read a lot of communities anymore. But if I did apply, you're here to make sure I'm not a loony or a troll. In the former case, I don't think anyone's ever figured that out for sure, including me; in the latter case, it depends on your definition, I guess. I'm up for a trial membership if you are, to ascertain either way. If you MUST read something, my homepage (see link elsewhere in profile) includes a blog.

I used to write here, and occasionally I suffer temporary insanity and try to start writing again, but nobody really wants to read it and people hardly ever comment, and I also want to share photos but can't see paying either LJ or Photobucket for the privilege when I have a perfectly good hosting account and Wordpress blog. So... I still use this thing to comment on a few friends' journals and participate in the communities I run (more the former than the latter), but that's about it.

I don't suffer trolls, I allow comments but non-friends are screened, blah blah blah, same old boring shit you read in the profile of probably every second LJ you encounter. You know the drill.

I moderate the following communities:

acadiana
brokefolks
dracofamilia
dragondaycare
feministzone
la_francophonie
laadan
learn_cajun
learn_french
newroadmap
seilhan
vanityplates

My community folks will tell you I am not the world's best moderator, but my heart's in the right place. And since I apparently need to spell this out, behave yourself in my communities or I'll ban you. (Goddamn kids.)

Ooh, look! Dragons!
