About Me

"There's no normal life. There's just life... you get on with it." ~ Doc Holiday ~ "A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love." ~ Mae West ~~~~~~~~~ This is what happens when I babble about myself: I am fun, smart, attractive and complex. I like learning, talking, reading, listening, dancing - particularly lindy hop and blues right now, but also salsa, remedial tango and others - singing, art-ing and lots of other things. I like to study at least some component of EVERYTHING.I reduce, reuse and recycle. I don't like owning lots of clothes, so I am frequently donating them. I rode a motorcycle for 5 years until it was stolen September 9, 2007. It was my only form of transportation for 3 years. Now I rely on other people, the wretched Nashville bus system or my own feet... few things are in range of my feet these days. =( I do not walk across 4-lane highways.Sometimes, in my sleep or half-sleep, I remove my left sock using my right foot's toes. It's always the left one, never the right and never both. I don't know why my body can't regulate the temperature of both feet equally.I tell the truth all the time. If someone can't take a hint, I sometimes get bitter and blunt in an attempt to get the friggin' point across.

My Interests

Ambra, Jason and I went out to the Big Bang Dueling Piano bar this past Thursday night. We got all prettied up and painted our faces, but didn't have enough time to polish nails. It was&nb...

"True Love Wanted... Must Be Skinny"

I'm sitting at a new desk at a new job planning more travel and getting debt free by my 29th birthday (provided I elect to keep a steady job that long) and scribble doodles between calls. I'm gl...

I thought we only went through this once!

Things are weird! Fun and stuff, but WEIRD! I seem to be going through some kind of concentrated spurts of adolesence. Allow me to elaborate... I told my family about plans that I ha...

Updates... more of them.

Ah, news. Not "news" news, that stuff is wretched. It gives me all sorts of horrible things to think about and ruin my outlook without telling me how I can help. No, this is "me" new...

Miscellaneousosity of Fun

My brilliant friends who keep up with that sort of things have been talking about how the United States government is more and more indebted to Communist China (that’s always how they say it) as...

Ah, more chaos. MugShotz can't keep me on! The kiosk in the hospital fell through after being confirmed as a done deal, so the girl that was going to work that position doesn't have it to ...

Lunch packed, shoes tied tight.

I moved to Bowling Green. It's smaller than Nashville, but I don't have less of a social life there than down here, there's just 184% less dancing. =( I work at MugShotz Coffeehouse....

Im outta here!... soon... to somewhere.

Quitting the uber-stress job was very good for my health. Saving some money before I did that was excellent. I really don't want to use it, though, 'cause I got big plans. So, all I ...

Rainy days and leaving Perú always get me down.

Here's a tiny little something before the big blogs come! I have lost my voice. I know I put it somewhere so that I wouldn't forget it, but it seems that I did, anyway. It gets bette...
