School, learning, art, animals (2 cats, 4 mice and 1 lizard), mental health, family, atheism, compassion, listening, speaking, sharing, and above all LOVE. :)

the cats are plato (tabby) and ella (tuxedo)
the mice are clapton (small black w/ a tiny bit of white), queeny (black and white), fleetwood aka "little one" (black and white), garcia aka "the pillow" or "fatty" (grey). we've had 4 mice die (they were all at least 18 months old... these sweet little animals don't live very long! hendrix, dylan, ringo and marley are now in the ground, nourishing the earth.) 
the lizard is chester

i used to have a ton of plants, and then i moved to an apartment where we only get late afternoon light, which most of my plants really didn't like. our last plant standing is something that looks like a mini plam tree mixed with a spider plant-- i wish i knew what it was called! she's in our bedroom, slowly growing. i'd like to transplant her once the spring comes! maybe she can grow into a real big tree. or at least a bigger house plant! i might have to wait until i move again, though. now i'm just rambling. i tend to do that.

i like to webcam with friends i've met across the country. message me if you webcam too and want to get a brickfish room together!!!
