If you want to know a little about me,
a former co-worker and friend of whom I will always be fond, Scott Stantis, called me:

Berkinstock-wearin', liberal kind of gal.

don't put me in a little box;
fore, I am more complicated than that.

waning_estrogen once replied to one of my more intense posts saying,

This would be the neurotic female Woody Allen persona deeply engrained within my being thanks to my Jewish heritage. Oddly enough, I still harbor the trait even though I've never officially practiced Judaism. Go figyah.
