About Me

*if you like my background, go to www.danmcarthy.org and buy one of his prints!*i am a dreamer. -it is the absolute wosrt (and perhaps best) thing about me, and it's all that i can offer. i am a hopeless romantic and a hopeless believer. i have found these qualities to be utterly unchangeable and not at all useful for meshing in with the rest of the world and civilization.i am a collector. i collect ideas, skeletons, thoughts, pretty things i find on the ground, strays, misfits and memories....i pay close attention.I CAN'T SPELL. please don't hold it against me...i am klumsy and silly. i am a bit of a hermit. but friendly....most of the time....i genuinely love and live, and that's all i know to do. read my blogs to find out anything else....or ask.

Television:

i don't have tv. tv is icky.

Books:

non fiction, mostly. and good poetry. my favorite poet is stephan crane followed by billy collins. but blake and thet crazy byron guy are swell, too.as far as books go...wurthering heights is a favorite. and frankenstein. and other stuff...

Heroes:

all the artists and poets and musicians and....dreamers.....working and living and seeing and creating and failing and struggling and getting back up again, over and over.... they are my heros.
