If love is surrender, whose war is it anyway? ~Imogen Heap

About Me


I am in my late 30's, fun loving and adventurous. I am beginning to believe I am an alien: a happy, mostly sane, attractive single lesbian. If not an alien, then last of a dying breed for sure! Mostly grown-up with the heart of Peter Pan. My intelligence and humor are what people seem to appreciate most about me. I take pleasure in the so called small things in life. The way I see it, if a small thing can make you happy, it is truly not so small ;). It makes me very happy to be able to put a smile on someone else's face. Whether or not you realize it, you DO affect others. It is up to each of us to infuse the world with as much positive energy as possible.
If you ever run into me, you can almost be assured I will have my digital camera on me. Best therapy in the world is to capture a shot that took my breath away in real life. My page background and 98% of the photos on my page are ones I have taken. My camera tends to make me a little less of a wall flower than I often truly am.
I love live music, dancing, movies, Mexican Martinis with good company and just about any kind of food.I love an engaging conversation and am known for my ability to make people laugh in just about any situation. I love to have my mind challenged...it is the only way I learn things ;) I am a native Texan, born in Dallas and have lived the past 19 years here in Austin. I knew it was home almost as soon as I moved here. Austin and I have done our fair share of growing up in that time. Call it progress or call it evolution. But if we are not growing? We are dying...so for as long as I can, I will continue to make the choice to live and grow. There is *always* something new to learn. Life is an amazing text book, we just have to be willing to crack the book and accept the lesson life is trying to teach us. It isn't always the lesson we are looking for.
You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals
all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without
fear or reservation. The childish nature of
the Sun allows you to play and feel free.
Exploration can truly take place in the light
of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays
fill you with energy so that you may live
life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of
each day. Such joy and energy can bring
wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the
light of day is to have confidence, to soak
up its rays is to feel the freedom of a
child. Image from: Stevee Postman.

My Interests

digital photography seems to be my greatest pleasure at the moment, reading, movies, music, dancing, live theatre, thinking, smiling, hugs (a hug a day will ensure you are always smiling)...

From my two weeks in New Orleans pre-Katrina...

I spend a decent majority of my free time with my camera hunting down pictures around Austin. Town Lake, Botanical Gardens, Mt. Bonnell...wherever my camera leads me ;)

Some of my photo subjects:

I'd like to meet:

I am always up for making new friends. So... friendly, open-minded, intelligent, honest, thoughtful, kind, adventurous, considerate sincere persons to make friends and hang out with. You never know what can emerge in the midst of true, honest friendship.As far as a romantic interest? I am sure my Princess Charming is out there somewhere. Hoping one day our paths do cross. ;)

"Girl" by the Beatles Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay? She's the kind of girl you want so much It makes you sorry Still you don't regret a single day. Ah girl! Ffff...Girl!
