I am here for Friends

About Me

Well.I was born and raised in the dirty-D (Durham, NC for those of you not from around those parts). I moved to Greensboro to go to school. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the inside of a classroom for almost a year and a half. I'm a diehard Carolina fan, but I cannot live without those pesky Dukies. My majors are French and English which only means I can insult you in two languages and more than likely, my insults will be grammatically correct. I have a twin sister and I am constantly mistaken for her (she was well known in the Jewish community). I'm a waitress at Oh! Brian's for the time being, but my lifelong dream is to be an English teacher, or better still, a librarian (aren't those the most nerdy dreams ever?) I'm a sucker for crossword puzzles, long books and existentialist films. I live with a married couple, Rob and Stacy. They became my saviours two months ago when my ex left me (again) and I needed somewhere to live. They've become two of my best friends despite our (at times) bizaare past experiences. I have a theory that time does not exist, but that's all relative. I drink, smoke and party entirely too much, but I'm young, so I'm not worrying too much about it yet. I'm the stereotypical virgo and I just want everyone to know that redheads are the best.

My Interests

Reading, writing, movies, crossword puzzles, knitting. Making love and making love count (I'm not talking exclusively about sex. I mean the act of love and everything that surrounds it). Learning and growing with each experience I happen upon. Enstilling my passions in others.

I'd like to meet:

Hmmm...Writers: -John Irving (author of 'A Widow for One Year', 'The Cider House Rules' and many more.-William Blake-though he is dead and has been for many years, he is my favorite poet. He made me adore British literature again and I would love to discuss his poetry with him.-Stephen King-another one of my favorite American novelists. I think he's still a genius but has fallen into the age-old problem of writing to a formula. I think that a conversation with him would answer a lot of my questions about his novels.Entertainers: -Fiona Apple-music is as important to me as poetry. She is a poet and her verses have gotten me through a lot of hard times.-Dave Matthews-another singer/songwriter that I consider a poet. I have more respect and reverence for him than I do for some of rock's legends.-Eminem-He's as full of rage as I am. I'd like to see those rages collide in a conversation.I'll think of more late...

Music:

I have an ecclectic interest in music. A few of my favorite are DMB, REM, Elton John, Fiona Apple, Eminem, Nirvana... I like showtunes a lot as well. The list of my favorite bands could take a hot minute to type so if you really care, ask me.

Movies:

Fight Club, Moonstruck, Interview with a Vampire, The Shining, Groundhog Day, The Color Purple... Also a list that could go on for a while. Once again, ask. I prefer dramas and existentialist films.

Television:

I can watch just about anything. I have cable for the first time in like four years, so I'm re-acclaimating myself to it as we speak.

Books:

'A Widow for One Year', 'Songs of Innocence and of Experience', 'Wasted'...I could honestly go on forever.

Heroes:

Anyone who has campaigned for research for AIDS. It's a cause that is very close to my heart and I wish everyone would wake up and join in the battle.
