And suddenly her love of "Jazz Hands" becomes crystal clear

Okay, I'm Steve and I've lived in Oregon since 1997. Before that I lived in Reno, NV (born and bred in Sin City's northern cousin). All I can say about Reno is I sure like living in Oregon. I'm 32, married, and I've also done a bit of writing. I have a completed suspense novel that I can't find representation for ("it's just too dark"), I was a Bakery Manager for 5 years and now I run a website for a TV station. I love reading (mostly fiction), music (too many genres to name) and films. I currently have all the necessary tools to make a film except for one - the time.

As for religion - I guess I'm agnostic in that I firmly believe in a power larger than us but I don't necessarily believe that our religions now their ass from their elbows. I do think that organized religion has done some good in the world (feeding the poor, etc) but they've also done plenty of bad (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquistiton!)

Anyway, that's me as complete as can be in a short, quick forum post

My type of discussion... I am not reading the other replies before I post this... I will comment on them afterwards.

I am 24. I am have lived all over Tennessee since I was 13. I was born in Germany (army brat) and have lived in Texas, Alabama, Hawaii, and Kansas. I posted in my intro post that I am attending a community college as an art major, but intend on moving on to graphic design. Most of the work I do right now is centered around children (photographing and drawing them... as well as manipulating the pictures. Here are a few things I have done with my daughter's pictures:

My daughter is the center of my world. She will be two April 20th. I do live pretty close to my family, but most of my communication will people is through the internet. I used to be a social butterfly, but since the birth of my daughter, I tend to be kind of reclusive. My home is my favorite place to be.

As far as religion is concerned. I am agnostic. I am very spiritual though. I believe in angels... but not necessarily the way most people think of them. I believe the people we encounter day to day are our angels. I believe everything happens for a reason. Religion scares the crap out of me... The concept of hell is the most *fucked* up thing I have ever heard in my entire life, and it is that alone that started my questioning...

I wish I could type more on that subject, but I just looked at the clock and realized I have a mid-term in 10 minutes... Gotta run!!!

Great artwork!! I love abstract art, but unfortunately, it is not my forte! I wish it was something I was good at, but I have a hard time breaking away from reality.

I really hope to get my daughter into the art. Both her father and I are artist, her father has more of a bent perception than I, so I am curious to see what she will come out with if she does get into art. She is a little girly girl as well. Which is funny, but I am the biggest tomboy you will ever meet. I was actually scared of having a girl while I was pregnant... I kept thinking, "What the hell am I going to do with a girl?? I don't know anything about girly stuff!!"? I think I learned pretty quickly though! She is really into dancing already. I think it is funny, because during my pregnancy when I felt her moving around, I would talk about how she danced... now, she is constantly wanting to dance!

I am really enjoying watching her grow up and develop as a person. She is so similar to me in so many way... There are also so many things about her that remind me of her father... but at the same time, I have no clue where she gets certain traits.

Ahhh... I am definitely a proud parent... I can go on and on about her!

I'm a student, 19, poli sci major planning on going into international law.

I make a living singing, selling artwork, and making coffee.

I enjoy philosophy, I have strong social justice values, but have no desire to claim I know anything I have no idea of, in terms of religion or spirituality or whatever-- there may be a higher power, there may not, it really doesn't matter to me. So basically as far as religion goes, I'm not going to know until I do, so I don't particularly care till then.

I love reading, cooking, fashion design, and good beer... and also cupcakes.

I'm Indian, my boyfriend is Alex and he = awesome, especially when he tries to eat the Indian food my mom makes, which is delicious but incredibly spicy-- it's cute. He's the smartest guy in the world.

I have a huge black lab named Zeke.

I wear really tight black pants.

I'm turning 29 (for the first time

) at the end of this month. I have 2 kids, B 6 and G 18 months. I have been married for almost 8 years. I currently work at a charter school as a subsitute teacher. I am debating if I'm going to be able to go back next school year because of the "No Child Left Behind" Law. If I stay at the school I have the opportunity to go to school to get my AA or Bachelers that they will reimburse me for. The problem I have is 1)I don't have the money to get it started, 2)I don't have time to go to school. We just moved into a new house and are working on buying it, that is where the lack of money is. If I started school I wouldn't have time for my family or my spiritual needs. I think I've decided what I will be doing, but in my mind I keep rethinking it. We'll see what comes out of my mouth when I get in front of them with my new contract.

I am hoping my sister can talk her husband into moving and moving into the house right across the street. We became close when she became pregnant with her 2nd child when I was pg with my 1st. She is now due in Sept. with her 3rd(hopefully a girl this time). We are about 3 yrs apart. My parents live about 5 minutes away from me. My in-laws (thankfully) live about 20 minutes away, but that is another post.

That's about it for now.
