About Me

"I suck, but I don't. I have become my own contradiction."I'm originally from San Jose, CA. After my boyfriend died last September, I moved here to Georgia to be with my family and start over. I work for Whole Foods Market slinging vitamins and herbs.Music keeps me sane. I miss the Bay Area's music scene which beats the hell out of Atlanta's. I'm a bit of an introvert,always have been, but don't like to miss a good party. I want to learn to play the fiddle. My dog Alpha is my best friend. And that's all you need to know for now.

My Interests

I am most content watching live music... GOOD live music! my dog, sarcasm, being outside (camping, the beach,sitting on the back deck at night, etc) being inside (avoiding this wretched Georgia heat, which I've been told hasn't even begun) surviving!

Music:

Neurosis, High On Fire, Sleep, Hank III , Joe Buck, Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies, The Pine Box Boys, Kalas, Munly & The Lee Lewis Harlots, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Ludicra, Asunder, Oneironaut, Mastodon, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, The Devil Makes Three, Melvins,Scott H Biram, Opeth, Dead and Gone, Split Lip Rayfield, Creech Holler, Jeff Zentner, The Everybodyfields, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, Gill Landry, Woody Pines, The Hackensaw Boys, Or, the Whale, Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show, Firewater, Emmylou Harris, Kevin Welch, Todd Snider, R.L.

The most hilarious movie I've ever seen was Night of the Living Dead dubbed over by some college students... had it when I lived in Portland, lost it, haven't come across it since.

Television:

Twin Peaks was the shit, so was On the Air, which was also David Lynch for all you poor souls who were left in the dark! Lately, I've been into The Riches and I like Rescue Me- really don't watch much, would rather listen to music!

Books:

"Hay, whatcha readin' fer?" Harry Crews, Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver. I've been trying to read up more on homeopathy and natural medicine... TRYING to anyway.

Heroes:

Derritt Drake, my parents and grandparents.
