BioHi! I'm Allie.
I'm 45 years old and in the process of trying to figure out who in the world I am. Life events have just rearranged themselves in a way that I feel safe creating, and I'm displaying my finery - poetry, prose, and photography, to the unsuspecting world. For the first time since early childhood I feel happy, and so much of it is wrapped up in creative outpouring. LJ Idol was a dam burst of emotions for me. Friends will soon find that I am less feet on the ground and more heart on the sleeve.
In addition to creative pursuits, life necessitates that I keep my house clean, which I do if I absolutely have to, I work part-time at a major optical retailer, selling glasses, I am the mother of three children, two of whom are speaking to me, a German Shepherd, an ultra-shy lizard, and am a contented wife to a terrific husband. We all live in small-town southern Ontario, Canada, in a rented home, and plan to stay here for a while. I read as much as I can, waste far too much time on my notebook computer, and seldom get enough sleep.
I welcome new friends gladly.
