I'm ultra-shy. I get anxiety about ordering coffee at blackbirds. Seriously. Luckily I order the same thing 90% of the time, so the Barrista(/Barristo?) knows what to give me. I love variety in life and how many different people this Earth contains. I also love the Earth that contains us, and am trying to lose my consumerist ways. I write poetry (sometimes), I paint (sometimes), I knit (often), and I love to cook. Sometimes I'm a 1950's housewife, and that scares me (I also love pink poodles which is scary). I love animals. Like crazy obsessively. I am a vegetarian, mostly vegan. And I cried way too hard watching Charlotte's Web and Old Yeller. Here are some of my favorite animals: Honeybees (my namesake), Octopi, Deer, Owls,turtles, and all kinds of Dogs.The Brontosaurus is the best extinct animal ever. I love teaching. I get all passionate and emotional about it sometimes, just ignore that if it happens around you. Chances are you'll hear my children are our future speech a couple dozen times.
