Just moved and have no net yet so I'm not on often enough to comment.
I'll make up for it when I get my broadband in.
I'm from a place called Cooley.
It's halfway between Dublin and Belfast on the east coast of Ireland.
I write 8-line poems on any subject I can think of.
My name is pronounced Da-ra (though I've been called Dare, Dairy & even Dire).
I blow my problems up like hot air balloons.
I hate the fact that 'Z's are replacing 'S's in the use of the English language.
I also hate exclamation marks, repetition and misunderstandings.
I hope to die of natural causes many years from now.

superstition on February 3Thanks for the comment on my Profile Page. 'Desperado' is such a beautiful song. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've never heard Johnny Cash's version of it....as I'm a fan of him, as well. I'll definitely have to check into that.

Frances Nightengale : Hi There! on December 22, 2008I read your little 'about me'. Haha, I'm sorry, I thought your name was pronounced 'Dare'. But now I know better. I got to liking Placebo because of my older sister, now they are my favorite band. I'm glad to know that you've even heard of them. I live in Tennessee, USA andnone of my friends know of them. Wow, you're from Ireland? That's amazing, or for me it is. I haven't traveled much out of the US, but that's one of the first places I'm visiting. Not to freak you out or anything, lol. I've just always wanted to go there. Sorry this is so long, lol. I'll stop now. Later!
