Bio:

I hate writing bios, because I never know what to say in them. Besides, it's not like you can get to know someone, by reading a handful of words about them. Who am I? I'm a mother, a daughter, a sister, a husband, an ex-wife, a bitch, a friend, a dyke, a lover of all things darkly beautiful, and the truth. I'm Canadian, I'm understanding, I'm confused, I'm crazy, I'm selfish, I'm giving, I'm Christian, I'm tired, I'm Slytherin, I despair, and I'm hopeful. I'm just like everyone else, and like no one else. I'm me. DIVIDER IMAGE

"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.” --Ray Bradbury

"As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities." --Voltaire

“Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.” --Buddha

I refuse to be shaken from the fold. It's my God, too, my Bible, my church, my faith, it chose me. But it does not make me "chosen" in a way that would exclude others. I hope it makes me eager to recognize the good, and the holy, wherever I encounter it. --Kathleen Norris, Amazing Grace

My mom blames California for me being a lesbian. "Everything was fine until you moved out there!" That's right, Mom, we have mandatory lesbianism in West Hollywood. The Gay Patrol busted me, and I was given seven business days to add a significant amount of flannel to my wardrobe. --Coley Sohn

There is only one God. We human beings have given God different names and found different ways of worship. If we are all going to the dining room, does it matter which direction we come from? --Gandhi

“We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.” -- Ray Bradbury

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. --John 3:16

"Just as you have the instinctive natural desire to be happy and overcome suffering, so do all sentient beings; just as you have the right to fulfill this innate aspiration, so do all sentient beings. So on what grounds do you discriminate?" - His Holiness the Dalai Llama

And in a related story, God gave a press conference today in which he said, quote, I don't know these people, I've never met these people, and I wish they'd stop using my name. --Dennis Miller

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players...to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time. --Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, 'Good Omens'

Death: Weight doesn't come into it. My steed has carried armies. My steed has carried cities. Yea, he hath carried all things in their due time. But he's not going to carry you three.
War: Why not?
Death: It's a matter of the look of the thing.
War: It's going to look pretty good, then, isn't it, the One Horseman and Three Pedestrians of the Apocalypse. --Terry Pratchett, 'Sourcery'
