For years I have been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. And yet here I am, with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, look at the course I run, there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me. ___________________________
I love feminist literature and evolutionary science.
I study zoology and collect plants.
I'm mother to a toddler, a whippet-mix, five cats, four mice, two gerbils, a blue-tongue skink, a tortoise, and several geckos. My darling poodle-mix ruby has crossed the rainbow bridge.
