I'm Opalline. I'm a mum, a wife, a writer, a scientist, a vegan (mostly), a make up addict, a music obsessive, a mad cat lady, and I'm hopelessly lost in role play. I love the smell and taste of cherries, coconut, cinnamon, patchouli and coffee! (Well okay... maybe not the taste of patchouli... ew). I'm allergic to alcohol, a hopeless caffeine junkie and I hate clowns, blocked doorways, rudeness, meat and sleeping! I'm a pretty random person with a butterfly attention span and a goldfish memory so expect ditziness... If you want to contact me my address is OpallineStar at yahoo dot com )
