A biopsychosocial phenomenon

I'm a fat, political, middle-aged woman with piercings and tattoos. I do not have a cat, dog or budgerigar, but I do have a bit of water bamboo called Lu Tze, some basil called Basil and a fine collection of rocks. Please note that I do *not* believe that they have healing properties and am prepared to throw some of the larger and less valuable ones at those who claim they do...

I have an old photo blog here which has a LiveJournal feed at rabbits_photo, and a more recent flickr account - http://www.flickr.com/photos/purplerabbits/. I also have an Amazon wishlist here, if anyone should happen to want to buy me anything.
