About Me

I suppose I'm supposed to write something really witty in this part that puts me in a positive light to the plethora of people viewing my profile... hmmm, still waiting...Ok, this is not supposed to be this difficult, or IS IT? Maybe if I write something specific about myself the words will just flow like... OH, OH, here's something! I'm a narcissistic woman that errors on the interesting side. I like to make stuff. Stories, pictures, music. Well, not music. I'm a pathetic musician, but I listen really really well.

My Interests

I am interested in everything for at least 30 seconds. After that, my interests are as follows: story-telling, philosophizing, people, tipping-points, literature (right now it's science-based anthropoligical fiction), people, art that has something to say, individual and world-wide struggles, politics, and did I mention PEOPLE?

Bad Co, Jimmi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Deep Purple, CCR, Lynard Skynard, Steve Miller Band, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, these are all sooo good. Ahhhh, the 80's. Pat Benatar, Devo, Kraftwork, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Pretenders and more, more, more. The 90's gave me Pearl Jam, the Beastie Boys, Madonna, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Prince, Peter Gabriel, Blind Melon, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, 4 Non Blondes, Helmet... that was my "hard" phase. Then, I got soft. Dance music and lots of it. Underworld, Sander Kleinenberg, Daft Punk, Kruder & Dormeister, Kraftwork, and more. I am loving Wolfmother, James Morrison, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zero 7, Antony and the Johnsons, QOTSA, Ben Harper, Green Day, James Blunt, etc. Oh, I also like rap.
