My Interests

i read. a lot. i read about a book a week. mostly fiction. i work in a bookstore, so i have access to lots of reading material.oh yeah, and i dance. i dance a lot. i go out dancing a few times a week. tuesdays at the Camelot II for ku swing society and fridays at Blue Martini Studio, and when ever else i find a place to lindy(you can look in "my videos to see me dancing :)

I'd like to meet:

other lindy hoppers (you know you're an addict when you dance in your dreams.) and if you also have an appreciation for new wave, it's a plus!.... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- end puzzle HTML --

Television:

i'm a tv adict. i love t.v. just give me house, mad about you, m*a*s*h*, the kids in the hall, absolutely fabulous, golden girls, the young ones, the cosby show, monk, sex in the city, family ties, veronica mars, the facts of life, six feet under, dexter, designing women, psych, degrassi (next generation or old school), the dick van dyke show, any of these will make me happy.

Books:

i like most of d.h. lawrence's writings. i like camus, virginia woolf, and kate chopin. oscar wilde is always fun. i love everything i've ever read of j.d. salinger. more modern writers i like are: tom robbins, william goldman, jerry stahl, neil gaiman, orson scott card, j.k. rowling, jack kerouac, robert cormier, c.s. lewis (for those who don't know, he's written much more than the narnia chronicles: till we have faces is a great novel, and he's a bit a theologian)...and others like rebecca wells, fannie flag, amy tan, alice walker, and charlene harris. i also enjoy some non-fiction: plato, margaret mead, temple grandin, and peter singer

Heroes:

gotta love dolly.
