Writing, making movies, meeting people, cult movies, horror, anything campy, Betty Boop, dancing, taking pictures of everything (I'm the tourist of life), animation, costumes, books, spirituality, paganism, pantheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, meditation, laughing and surfing Youtube.
Movie fans, writers, people who don't take themselves too seriously. Spiritual fruits (not religious nuts).Here I am with "Weird Al" Yankovic on 6/1/07. He's my hero.I was terribly nervous, but he was just the sweetest guy.These are from various Chiller Theatre conventions. Because they rock. This is Nick Stahl from "Carnivale."Here's Lara Palmer herself, Sheryl Lee (making me feel a bit gawky...)And the little man from another place, Michael J. Anderson. He asked me if I was a witch and I replied "not yet."And Scream Princess Tiffany Shepis, showing hers while I'm hiding mine...And probably my all time favorite meeting, Neale Donald Walsche, author of "Conversations With God."Once again I was terribly nervous, but he gave me that huge hug!Now if I could meet David Lynch or Robert Smith, I would be one very happy girl!
The Cure, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, Curve, Bjork, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, The Ramones, Neds Atomic Dustbin, The Dickies, Buzzcocks, Bad Religion, Descendents, Stereolab, Ladytron, Air, Oingo Boingo, movie soundtracks, etc. And yes Weird Al. I was supposed to take a trip abroad this year and when it fell through, I finally broke down and got his last CD. And I never realized how brilliant he is. In a short period of time, I collected (almost) all of his CDs, the video and live DVDs, two White & Nerdy tee shirts (one autographed) and I saw him live 4 times. There's a long story behind that, but I'm not complaining. Road trips...listening to "Running with Scissors" for the first time on the bus to Atlantic City...playing in the jungle gym after the show at the Keswick...finally getting to dance to "Albuquerque"...naturally taking dozens of pictures...some of my favorites:What a look he's giving me! Maybe b/c I was all like "don't sing to me, it'd freak me out!"And this one, because it almost gave me a heart attack."and she leaned down next to me...and she took my picture..."Me and my dear friend ShinyStarlet - I love you girl!!!What a fun summer, thanks Shiny - and thanks Al!!
