Don't take it personally. I just needed to cut back for my own sanity.

RECENT NAME CHANGE-I was Mensabuttercup, now Finocchio. As you were.

Hi.

I'm married, pretty old, and have two grown kids. I'm a welfare caseworker for the state of PA, a pagan-leaning druid agnostic, and a bleeding heart liberal leftist.
Since I quit smoking, I've become obsessed with fiber arts. I knit, crochet, and spin. I'm currently obsessed with sock yarn and have theorized that sock knitting has become my new cigarettes. At least I get something out of it besides bad lungs.
I love to read, used to write and probably will again someday. Once upon a time, in days lost to the mists of time, I was a professional photographer. I recently acquired a fine digital SLR camera in the hopes of being so again.
I don't have many friends, but I value the ones I do have immensely. I despise how LiveJournal requires you to call it a "friend list", because to me, it'd be a lot less drama-inducing to call it a "reading list."

I am sister to the rain;

Fey and sudden and unholy,

Petulant at the windowpane,

Quickly lost, remembered slowly.

Weird source for profound thoughts, I know. But it really struck me so I kept it.
