The Queen of

          a Pirate of Love
      Pirate Captain Tenaya

    One day I looked at my life, and I said, I am a pirate and my life is all about  and .
What I’m doing here, this is a Pirates Life, but with a twist.  Why am I a Pirate?  Because I'm not going to wake up one day saying  and I didn't live life to the fullest, so instead, I LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!

I travel the world. I’m a broad abroad. A piratical
I'm , I've plundered extensively in Europe, America, and Central America so far!  And let's face it,
I represent the best of America: I laugh a lot and
hug everybody; I'm just a big .
I'm adventuresome, excited and energetic!  I learn as much of the language as I can while I am in a country that doesn’t speak English.  I observe tourism and its relationship to locals and its impact on everything.  I get to know locals, I find out what is going on currently, and I learn history by seeing the real places and going to museums.  Most of the time, I'm

I settle into that port of landlubbers, sail up to the  and find my
We find some booty...in various .

: a kind of generalizing and sometimes demeaning way to refer to the boys I have loved and plundered.  Yeah I’m talking sword into the sheath,
 

: jewelry specifically.  I love earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hair adornments, and rings.  I own way too many pieces in all colors and designs, but they are my favorite accessories to make an outfit really complete.

: equivalent to “stuff.”  A general reference word to all the material possessions we own.

BOOTY: money, riches, jewels, doubloons!

I plunder booties from international cuties, I steal hearts with my hook and then leave to plunder more.  A pirate can never have too much booty, you just need a bigger ship, and the ‘Ship of my Heart’ is big enough to love many people, all at the same time! (BLASPHEMY!  Most unnatural!)  Each time I am fortunate to embark on an adventure ‘cross the sea, I meet many new friends who are eager to befriend a non-violent pirate.  Just as I am insatiable with booty, I also cannot have enough friends!  I always have space on my ‘Ship of my Heart’ for more crew members!  Yarrrr!

Out of the 7 billion people on Earth, there has to be at least more than 1 landlubber that is “right for me” and could persuade me to permanently stay in his port.  But before I do any kind of weighing anchor, I need to shop around a bit, travel the world, sample the booty.  And when I am an older and more refined pirate, I will find that man who represents the best of all I have plundered, and perhaps he will land lock me and I’ll have to show him my buried treasure!
