I’m Aziza. When I was 14 I was told this means “precious” in Swahili. I don’t know if this is true, and frankly I don’t give a damn; but I love the idea behind it. I’m claiming my preciousness.
I’m a wordy chick. Kinky as all fuck. A grappler. 38 year old who thinks lying about your ages is stupid. One-time single mommy who’s releived to no longer be going it alone. Child abuse survivor. A post-surgical gastric bypass patient. Emotionally immature for my age. A multi-racial mutt. Prolific utterer of profanity. A pagan-friendly, christian-friendly, native-friendly non-denominational spiritualist. Practicing ethical slut living in a polyamorous family. Huge fan of striped tank tops and knee-high socks. Voracious coffee addict. Sometime artist and writer. And a born-and-bred midwesterner (It’s a water-fountain dammit. You don’t drink BUBBLES.)
I wear my bleeding heart on my sleeve, and my thoughts on the tip of my tongue. I am liable to write about all the above aspects of myself, or something altogether different. Shinies catch my attention all the time, and I am likely to have something to say about just about anything. All opinions expressed here are my own, so I don’t claim they are right, but I do claim they are valid. You are welcome to disagree, and I welcome comments – they’ll lead to either stimulating discourse or stinging ridicule, but it’s all good.
Welcome to the fire in my head…

p.s.s. If anyone can give me a photo/artistic credit for my header art, that would be much appreciated. I admit to being a shameless internet art pirate, but now that I’m using it in a more public setting, I would like to give credit where credit is due.

I can’t agree more with you about the BUBBLES comment. You really do have a flare for writing. Interesting, but very real.
Hi – I just stumbled onto your blog today and wanted to let you know that read some and that I was here.
Be well,
M.L.
