My ADDY award winner. Stupid "silver" ADDY... ;)

My Interests

I love art: drawing, painting, all media, really. My main artistic interest is charcoal/ graphite portraiture. I have many examples of my work here somewhere.... I have been playing bass guitar since 1995 and I love that. I love to dance to my favorite music (listed below, I'm sure). I love the beach and I will go every other week until September ends. I am addicted to astrology; I am a Taurus born in the Chinese Year of te Snake (bad ass!)I do so many things that I forget all the rest, but these are the top favorite things I enjoy. Oh yeah, I LOVE to cook; mostly to grill. I love grilling shrimp, chicken, steak, yum yum. Yeah, no vegetarian crap here! I love veggies too, but I am weak! I need meat! LOL Annndddd I speak Spanish muy buena para una gringa! Is that a bad word? I spent so much time in Mexico nothing is a bad word for me!

I'd like to meet:

Orlando Bloom (of course),Trent Reznor,Interpol: Paul Banks & Carlos D. As of now, I have met them all! I am very lucky that I have already met many of my favorite bands, so that's it for now.

Music:

VNV Nation, Blutengel, Assemblage 23, Covenant, Stromkern, Front Line Assembly, Velvet Acid Christ, Informatik, The Birthday Massacre, and other goth/industrial/synthpop/EBM artists as well as classics like Skinny Puppy, Ministry, and NIN. My most recent musical addiction is INTERPOL! They put on an AMAZING live show (for a band that does not rely on a computer to make their music, ha ha- not that there's anything wrong with that). As of May 2008 I must announce my love for Tears Run Rings. I've been listening to them for a month and still have no idea what they are saying:)But I love them.

Movies:

My favorite movie is Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Others in my top 5 are: Orgazmo, The Big Lebowski, Mystery Science Theater 3000 the movie, and Sid & Nancy. Other good ones are The Crow, Dracula, The Usual Suspects, Interview With the Vampire, The Lost Boys, Ed Wood, anything Tim Burton or Mel Brooks does is usually good....

Television:

My soap is The Young & the Restless. Sorry, my grandma got me hooked on it like, 20 years ago!

Books:

I am enamored of TS Eliot's "The Hollow Men." "Rats coat, Crowskin, Crossed staves... Behaving as the wind behaves...No Nearer." Other classics I love are Machiavelli's The Qualities of the Prince (esp On Whether it is Better to be Loved or Feared), Walden (true hippie- me, I mean), Civil Disobedience (rebel!), Emily Dickinson, EE Cummings, Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass...Anything by Shakespeare (tongue-in-cheek always works for me)AND... Anything on astrology, esp. Born on a Rotten Day by Hazel Dixon-Cooper. Funny lady.

Nosy People

So I was driving home from picking up Skylar and I guess he had his arm and head out the window (not all the way because I would have noticed that). But he did have his face out as we pulled...

I am such a weirdo. I try so hard to be the image I have of myself in my head. It's not even what others think of me, it's what I think of myself that concerns me. Huh.
