About Me
Ive been living in a new town where I have no friends, only acquaintances, for a year now. I have family and people I love at a distance and I miss them all. But some of them won't accept that I have BP: they just think I'm moody or hyper. I had to stop my career about 6 years ago and I mourn its loss because I was doing something I loved. I have two lovely cats--Echo and Izzy, a Beta Frangos and an understanding husband. Eriphile is Greek for my first name; the name I go by is my middle name: Zoë
