I am here for Friends

About Me

What is there to tell? I'm the kind of girl who gets up early and stays out late. I recycle, I knit, I always keep fresh flowers, I like to cook everything from scratch. I'll try anything twice. I'm definitely not a picky eater. I ride my bike where I gotta go, been riding the long board 'round lately too. I play guitar, have a great appreciation for the bass, accordion, and banjo, and utter respect for people who can play drums really well *music the great communicator - use two sticks to make it in the nature* My book and music collection have been expanding fast, I can read a book in a day. I keep a vegetable flowers herb and rock garden. I'd rather agree to disagree but I love a good debate. There's some things I like, some things I don't like, and everything else I'm more or less indifferent to.

My Interests

Geology, rock hounding, cooking, fine wine, strong brew, ganja, horticulture, mytoculture, gardening, the great outdoors, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, astronomy, star gazing, physics, Japanese, French, Hebrew, binary, reading, raspberries, t'ai chi, chai tea, puppetry, claymation, making flash movies, playing duck hunt, anime, calligraphy, graphology, drawing, art in all of its forms, listening to and making music, partying every day. Whatteverz clever. U might think I suck but I don't really give a fuck cos I'm big in Japan.

Television:

Blow up your TV. Really, its way fun."Old George Orwell got it backwards. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother is busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers, untill it's as usefull as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world."

Black Spring

filthy books and dirty looks

  Walking the streets of downtown the other day I decided to treat myself to something different. I took myself out to a nice lunch at Merenda. It's spendy, but I think it's good to spoil oneself...
