I don't get it...

About Me

a melancholy girl . . . with birdies always on my mind.

My Interests

Abandoned houses, hardware stores, caves, meterorites, overdressing and upturned collars, antiques and old coins. Clothing, costumes, and anything art deco. I love all kinds of dancing, though I am not proficient. Buried treasure, sailing and grizzled sailors. Moustaches- real and painted on. I love my birdies, science fiction, pirates, dirty frontier folk, sewing, the days before computers, KQED, flamboyace and androgyny. Girls in boys clothes. I love to sleep twelve hours at a time. I like oversized bows, especially worn in the hair. I wish I could time travel. Why don't I already live in the middle of a desert? I will do that someday. Good lord I hate technology.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet myself, age 5.

Music:

Never understood the facination. But I do like my funky old cheesy twenties rag-time/ carnival tunes and lounge music. Also Bjork, and Prince and Dolly Parton are fantastic.

Movies:

Tipping the Velvet, The Proposition, The Count of Monte Cristo and all other swashbuckling movies. Oscar and Gaslight. Any version of Pride and Prejudice.

Television:

Antiques Roadshow, Bosom Buddies, Masterpiece Theater, Reno 911!

Books:

can't read . . . must finish sewing project . . . only nine more hours . . .

Heroes:

The lovely Susan Sarandon, and the equally lovely Jane Goodall (of the chimps). If you don't know what Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue is, go there immediatly, it is vital. Also Mark Bittner (the wild parrots guy). I met him, and he's sort of mean, but wonderful.
