About Me

Bon Vivant! Creative Liver. Boring ankles. Continually bursting heart! Searching for the discipline to do all the great things I wanna do.I Love being surrounded by wonderful and eclectic characters. I Love making a spectacle! I Love great discussions and creative projects with my friends. I'd Love for all of this to somehow be helpful to others. That is my quest! How to combine my art and politics and spirituality???

My Interests

humans, Catholic Worker movement, winning dance-a-thons!, cooking, silliness, having crushes, current events, nonviolence, bicycles, drawing people, meditating, reading, mailart!, yoga-cising, storytelling, photography, cuddle sluts, visiting all my Sweet Hearts, making Gainesville proud, learning the histories of my favorite cities, getting your attention, being spoiled and spoiling all my Lovelies, libraries, magical dumpsters

I'd like to meet:

*OUR BOND IS BEYOND* the space-time continuum.Arty-farty, nrrrdy, silly rad-i-cool pen-pals really get my goat...along with arty-farty, nrrrdy, silly rad-i-cools in my neighborhood.THANK YOU FOR NOT SAYING "AWESOME"

Music:

super eclectic...the sound of a happy bike, Chicago public radio, St. Francis kitchen dance party mix, NEO 80's night, the noises of pots clanging and choppers chopping as we get ready for a big meal @ St.Francis, the once-a-month UNITY church dance party, the sound of a happy pencil drawing-paintbrush painting-fingers sculpting me ; ), NOLA's Afro-Latin-punk rawk marching band drummers, backyard punk rawk shows. Booty shakin' or pogoin' muzac. I love friends turning me onto great muzac. Or discovering it out dancing. NOLA brass bands rule...Soul Rebels, Rebirth, Hot 8...awwww yeah!

Movies:

Television:

When my friends share their crack, I mean TV, with me I can't stop watching 'Pants-Off Dance-Off'. It's like the new Nerve personals for Suzies. Crack! And any British parody.

Books:

I most like to read about things related to stuff I'm doing...right now these things are the Catholic Worker movement, drawing and artistic endeavor, current events, nonviolence and Buddhisty stuff. Bicycles and photo too soon enough!I'll Be Your Mirror for photo books, Answered Prayers and A Confederacy of Dunces for fiction, Studs Terkel and Dorothy Day for non-fiction, Beaumont Newhall's Photo History for reference, and anything that involves interviews/personal narratives/socio-cultural observations etc...Aldous Huxley, Tom Robbins, Truman Capote, and Thoreau's Walden, Illusions by Bach. Bitch, the Sun, Aperture, and Photo District News for magazines. The dictionary. Ecstatic poets.
