    "Because the night you asked me,
    the small scar of the quarter moon
    had healed—the moon was whole again;
    because life seemed so short;
    because life stretched before me
    like the darkened halls of nightmare;
    because I knew exactly what I wanted;
    because I knew exactly nothing;
    because I shed my childhood with my clothes—
    they both had years of wear left in them;
    because your eyes were darker than my father’s;
    because my father said I could do better;
    because I wanted badly to say no;
    because Stanley Kowalski shouted “Stella…;”
    because you were a door I could slam shut;
    because endings are written before beginnings;
    because I knew that after twenty years
    you’d bring the plants inside for winter
    and make a jungle we’d sleep in naked;
    because I had free will;
    because everything is ordained;
    I said yes."

I like tea cups and tea pots, pretty tables and afternoon teas.

I like to read Austen and Bronte and fantasize about floor to ceiling book shelves filled with cloth covered hardbacks and a ladder to reach the ones at the very tip top.

I like to make lists. I make lists about the lists I'm making lists on.

I like to bake and garden and paint and and sit in my garden painting while eating the baking.

I like to knit and fondle soft, expensive, hand painted yarns.

I like to watch period dramas, Pushing Daisies, Dr Who, Lost and pretty much any SyFy channel show.

I like Bubblegum vodka, red licorice, cadbury Flakes and cake. Any cake, all cake, especially cake on pretty plates. Well not cake with shriveled fruit in it.

I do not like shriveled fruit.
