Virginia is for lovers

Editor’s note: This is a guest post by long time reader Lenore Ghatz, who sent me her chemistry.com profile for proof reading and guttural sounds.

Me with my son, Tanya.

Me with my son, Tanya.

About Me:

I was raised by Polish immigrants after I was found in a tool shed. Later I was traded to some nuns for 7 apples and a mule. I’m recently divorced and emotionally detached from this life. Most nights I sit at home and look out the window while I work on digesting my tongue. I’m interested in meeting someone who was probably my child in a past life. I don’t like riding horses, but I like to lay in hay and eat carrots. The man of my dreams would have the thought processes of a computer, but the emotions of a dolphin/man. I love dolphins, but not sharks. I have a rabbit, but it is a wild rabbit and lives outdoors, but I clean up its feces in my yard.

Favorite Movies

I’m into romantic comedies, like titanic or harry potter, but I think anything starring Daniel Day Lewis is probably my favorite.  If you’ve ever seen him in Dances with Wolves you’ll know what I’m talking about. He plays a great native american and those people are stoic, which is the number one word my co-workers use to describe me. Vague is the second. I am a construction worker part-time and manicurist part-time.

Favorite Music

Lately, I don’t really listen to music, but I do like slam poetry and the voice of urban youth.  The last slam I went was peaceful and did not get out of hand, but I have been threatened. LOL. I also enjoy some christian rock and death metal.

Sometimes I think Kenny Chesney is speaking directly to me in his songs and that no one else hears the way I do. I would marry him and we could both wear ripped jeans and white tee shirts and have children with missing teeth and poor literacy skills.

Location

I need someone who lives close to an emergency center, as the weight and girth of my left leg tends to leave me with the balance of a wounded elephant. One time I put my left through a case of lite mountain dew and the caffeine got into my blood stream through a wound and the people next door came over and called the cops after I rearranged my furniture and was reciting Golden Girls lines as Bee Arthur.  I was forced to buy new carpeting on account of the blood stains and aluminum pieces.

It would also be nice to live near a Costco,  since I wear  a new pair of socks everyday.

Best Vacation

I have been saving up to go to St. Petersburg, Florida for  seven months. I now have $38 and the bus fare is $158, so I will plan to go in the coming year. The best thing about Florida is there is ocean on both side and I can walk to either side of Florida, since I have been told it is the skinniest state and I think a librarian told me, so they probably know. The other thing about Florida is the wildlife. I look forward to seeing alligators, snakes, birds and roadkill like cats.

Reoccurring Dream

I always dream that I am an auto mechanic with no fingers, so I have to use my mouth to fix things. Most times I just check the oil, but once in my dream I had to change a tire. I woke up gnawing the post of my bunk bed. LOL.

Here is some of my poetry:

Youtube
by Lenore

Youtube is cool.
I watch on my computer.
Where did all these Asian people come from?

Couch
By Lenore

I eat on my couch.
I sleep on my couch.
I am alone.
Seeking love seat or sectional.

Fair
By Lenore

I went to the fair to purchase thread from a booth.
The line was long.
Everyone in line was single.
No one speaks.
