About Me

Isn't this summed up in 'Interests'? ah well..I try to be laid back but I have an irish temper. I'm low maintenance because I never had the money to learn to be high maintenance, and I'm kind of a minimalist anyway. Not a small-talker, but long conversations are fine--get me on certain subjects and I can't shut up. I have a general love of history, music, and world cultures, and I dearly love my cat.

My Interests

books, music, history/heritage, herbs, cooking, alcohol, color. long walks in the country (hooray for dirt roads), 6am coffee and sunrise, teaching, movies.

I'd like to meet:

...some rich person undergoing a change in faith and needing to rid themselves of their material wealth...and i would be conveniently on hand to help them :D

Music:

really, what don't i listen to? there's some stuff i won't buy but i'll usually burn it or at least don't complain when it's being played. some favs: over the rhine, postal service, cherish the ladies, nora jones, chanticleer, anuna, altan, musicals, emmilou harris, flogging molly, the chieftans, dervish, johnny cash, wynton marsalis, enya....etc.

Movies:

the boondock saints, moulin rouge, gone with the wind, an affair to remember, nightmare before christmas, sleepy hollow (ok, anything with johnny depp), phantom of the opera, practical magic, the quiet man (yup, john wayne fan), star wars, harry potter. in general anything with action (i.e.guns/martial arts/explosions) or a good mystery plot.

Television:

sadly i must admit that i don't have cable..but my bf does so when i can i watch the history channel, the discovery channel, animal planet, TCM/AMC, adult swim, and my fav- Food Network.

Books:

mostly fantasy and mystery. i like to leave this planet sometimes.

Heroes:

typical, but...my mother, for her strength and sacrifices. my gram for her irish pride and never shedding a tear in view (and my grandpa for putting up with her). my nana for her courage in the face of such pain, and papa for marrying her anyway.
