***If you have written me, I am so sorry I have not gotten back to you. I have had several deaths in my family and am inundated with work and my thesis, so I am going to have to take a break from this site for a little while. ***
I can be the most disciplined, hardest working person in the world....but I can also luxuriate in laziness.....I love books and music and surround myself (maybe too much) with both.......I love all styles and genres too...and I really mean that....I love hiking and yoga...documentaries....and traveling ...I want to go to India and I have spent a lot of time in Paris... I love flea markets and vintage shops and rarely go to the mall..I love the theoretical and I could be a bit of a political junkie if I had the time.....I usually smell like jasmine and sandalwood.....I am almost always in a dress....but I can change my own tire.........I have a fatal attraction for ellipses..and this is way more "I" than I feel comfortable with.....added bonus....I actually look like my pictures..smile...It would be nice if you did too....And like everyone else here......I dont look my age at all...(I really dont...smile....)

I am in grad school right now, and I work with parents and young children...I also do play therapy....

hmmm...well....I read really fast, I think I can cook well when I have the time, I am vastly curious about almost everything and love learning...I love comfortable silence as much as I love talking all night....I'm pretty independent and like to be alone at times, I love to run in the hills surrounding my house with my dog...And I am incapable of buying just one book or cd......Yes, I have a bit of a problem there...and I'm always running out of space....

well, someone at work whom I have known for a long time said I don't have a mean bone in my body...and I do think that is kind of true...I have many faults, but I can't really do mean and petty.

*(in hindsight I find lists like this kind of pretentious...so forgive me..laughing......)

strong coffee, music, books, wine, love, books, music, candles....oh, and scalding hot baths and showers...

ideas and theories....

either out or in....

I am a bit of a Luddite...................and the only reason I have answered so many questions and taken so many tests is because I have been trapped in the house with the flu and even I couldn't read any more books...I am allergic to cats...but I don't "dislike them"(there seemed to be no choice for allergic).....oh, and I would love to learn chess.....

You can explain to me why I score such VERY different results on the Meyers-Brigg each time I take it...(hmmm.....should I admit that? )....Also, there is a difference between being arch and ironic and being able to laugh at yourself.....if you know that difference you should write to me immediately.......
ps-sorry, polyamory holds no appeal for me whatsoever.... pps-I am not on here all day and all night, and I am probably not ignoring your im's...see aforementioned Luddite tendencies, I forget to log out..smile..
ppps-and one more thing....my name is NOT beverly.......(so sorry for the confusion......!...) RIP David Foster Wallace.....so young and so amazingly talented....
