I am a big advocate for HIV/AIDS. I caught it having unprotected sex during a relapse on crack cocaine (I now have 28 months clean). I believe God gave me this disease so that I can speak for others who are unable to speak up for themselves. I love to read, travel, photography, kids (I have none), and animals (real or stuffed), and working on my computer. I also love to collect, to the point of obsession. It started out with hand-carved wooden boxes, but now it includes anything that can be opened and stuff stashed inside, and I also collect many other things. I also like arts & crafts.
