Deeply flawed yet refreshingly honest girl from nowhere, I do as little as possible. Certainly nothing I'm not damn well interested in doing.

I loathe unicorns and rainbows. Love kitties and dew drops. Love old hackneyed stuff, hate new hackneyed stuff. Pretentious and opinionated, I cry at banking commercials involving daddies and brides, but I hate myself for it.

I'm alternately self conscious and oblivious. I sometimes pretend to a cynical toughness, but really I'm a soft and charitable person.



Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence




You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks.
You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent.
An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer.
Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstrations help you learn best.

You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

My moral compass stays pointed at concepts like giving the benefit of the doubt, judge not lest ye be judged, cast not the first stone and walk a mile in the mocassins. What passes as morality in many circles strikes me as the height of immorality.

I'm told I have a strong personality, and I'm certainly not everyone's cup of tea . I've suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and cool kidditude has eluded me most of my life. At 51, I'm fairly well over it, although once in a whiel I'll feel that familar stab of rejection as fiercely as the goony and geeky fourth grader I once was.

Am I too weird? Often, but it's all I've got so I make the most of it most days. I prefer to think of it as part of my charm.

The other days we won't talk about here.

    The Big Jiggety says:

    "Darkness and a sense of what has been and is no longer attainable permeate Queen Wordsmithy mesmerizing work. Her choices and compositions coupled with her patina and deft technique inspire a sense of depth and awe seldom found in other portfolios. One can indeed sense that she is steeped in history and culture both on a visceral and intellectual level. Intellectual, for she is aware of the power of a well-turned phrase, the weight of words--is she not a self-proclaimed wordsmith? Visceral, for it takes more than a bon mot, even visual, to grab one's gut. The Queen has connections with the primeval and we can just bow to the fact that she can share them with us."

    "I discovered Jill's place here while looking at still life photos for inspiration. I came upon some of her work, and have never looked back. I was hooked immediately. Her art and photography are a reflection of her character and for her zest for life. She has class, integrity, and she has style. Jill was open and kind to me from the very start. It is an honor to call the Queen a friend."

    "All hail the Queen! Jill is a MILPW (Mother I'd Like to Party With). Her technical ability, sense of restraint, creative sensibility, and sophistication keep me hooked. Plus, she's hilarious and has a cool icon. Jill says so much with so little, I wonder if I could handle her in person. Perhaps, with enough tequila sunrises."
