Lastbil's Little Slice of Lunacy

Bear with me while I attempt to become computer literate...
Don't let the blonde hair fool you...
Here's the story: My real name's Laurie (pronouced "LOR-ee", NOT "LAH-re" - are we clear on that?)
How old am I? Let's just say older than I wish to be. This picture's very recent, but I've always looked WAY younger than I actually am. So go ahead and guess.
I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life (and believe me, I'm thrilled to tears about it).
I graduated from Phillip's University with a degree in English. I've always wanted to be a writer, but have somehow found myself in banking. Go figure.
I live alone (which I prefer), with the exception of my 5 cats. (Yes, I did say 5.) Now, I am aware that 5 exceeds the maximum allowable limit of cats for a single woman by about 2 or 3. I'm not one of those dog-hating obsessives who frighten the neighborhood children. I did not set out to acquire 5 cats, it just happened. Cope. I do, however, love my kitties dearly and am contemplating getting a dog. So there.
STUFF I LIKE
Here's just a brief list of my personal passions:

I'm a poet and didn't know it
Swan Song:

I live a dream with music as the sky.
My dream a vision in pale sunlight,
wistful toiling of my summer days
in wasted hours of midnight haze.
My sleepy wandering coming to a close,
I wish for dawn as the wind still blows.
If my only love hears my song,
He'll know that I know that I was...
