So, you want me to tell you the story of my life?
Once upon a time, many, many years ago (about 26) there was no me, then one
day there was and the world had that much more BS to contend with ;)
Okay, I'll get serious, but enjoy it, it doesn't happen often.
May 22, 1970, Kelli Anne Hudson was born in Philadelphia, the first of six
children. We moved to beautiful Paradise, Naples-on-the-Gulf, Florida. Here
I went to school, aged (I'll never grow up), and I am still stuck...er...I
mean living here. With my parents, I own a card and gift shop that keeps me
busy and keeps me from getting into too much trouble. I work a good 60+
hours a week at it and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Now if I could
just make my first million and retire to write my book. Yes, I am one of
those eternal procrastinators who like to call themselves writers. I write,
I rewrite, I stop writing, I curse writing, I swear I will never write again
and then I write somemore. I have about a hundred half plots going and a
million scenes written. Enough outlines and ideas to choke a horse. But I do
have the dedication written, that's getting somewhere. :)
Besides trying to write, I am a voracious reader...I will read anything I can
get my hands on, as many times as I can. My books are slowly taking over my
bedroom, at last count I had 1000 and I just keep buying them. By far my
favorite author is (drumroll) Anne Rice, in all of her incarmations.
Without geting too spiritual on you, her writing has had an incredible impact
on my life. I found a hero when I did not know I was looking for one. The
first time I read about Lestat, I knew that I had found a creature that
showed me what I was and what I stood to become. In reading her books I took
a spiritual journey and found out a lot of things about myself that I did not
know. The short version: I overcame many fears and found many more answers
inside of myself that I never knew I held. Enough of that...besides Anne
Rice I adore the writing of John Jakes, the first few VC Andrews series
(before they weirded out), Dostoyevsky, Dave Barry, Nelson DeMille, and
Voltaire. I could never list all of the books that I love, but most of them
have one thing in common...an underlying religious and/or moral theme. I
read to be entertained but I have to have something to think about so I seek
out those books that I can sink my teeth into (heehee Vampire pun intended)
Besides my books, I love music...all music. My favorite is the big band era
music. I swoon at the sound of Dean Martin, Perry Como or Der Bingle. And I
am not afraid to admit that I love Barry Manilow (stop laughing). I saw him
in concert last year and I wept when he walked out on stage. The man is a
genius, 'nuff said. Speaking of genius, I have two words for you "Dennis
Miller". I like my comedy with a side of sarcasm.
I'm single, I have no children but I make my siblings' life difficult by
spoiling my 2 nephews and two nieces. And my sister is getting ready to
grace us with another baby in the family. I adore children and will do
anything to see a smile on those precious faces. Then again, I do that for
anyone. I like to see people happy and I'll do anything I can to make anyone
smile. "I do not think I could go on if I did not believe in the possibility
of goodness." -Anne Rice "The Vampire Lestat" The motto of my life.
I'm one of those annoying dual-natured Geminis. I either sit so quietly
that one wonders if I am still breathing, or I chatter and move around like a
whirlwind until everyone wonders if I will ever shut up. Believe me, it's
not easy to stop me from talking once you get me going. One of my favorite
things to do is sit up all night with a worthwhile companion (and Mr. Coffee
and my cigarettes) and ponder the meaning of life or just laugh ourselves
silly. My two best friends live far away, in North Carolina and Michigan, so
I spend alot of time alone or with my siblings. My parents are two of my
great friends and I feel very lucky to be able to say that.
Anyway, I should publish this as my first book...ya think? ;) Well, I guess
I'll shut up, right after I say one more thing. I've been going through a
rather rough time lately and I want to thank all of you who have been here
for me and cheered me up even though you didn't know you were doing it. It
is such a joy to know that anytime, day or night, if I am sad or depressed
one of you is around to make me laugh and remember that it is for the joy of
communicating with others that I exist. To all of you who I have met...I
look forward to seeing you again in the future. And to all of you that
haven't been subjected to me...when you do meet me, I have one thought for
you. Do not get me talking unless you have a couple of hours to spare :)
Any questions? Feel free to ask, I may even give you a straight answer. ;)
