About Me

Let's live our lives the way lives were meant to be lived. With the throat and wrists. With RAGE and DESIRE, and JOY and GRIEF, and L O V E until it hurts...

It's Randi. With an I. I live life through the words I write down on paper. I fall in and out of love everyday. With people, places, words, and ideas. I listen to my music at the highest volume possible - everywhere and anywhere - and break into spontaneous dance whenever I feel it is appropriate. Or...in some cases, whenever I feel it is wildly inappropriate. I write about everything. I've probably written something about you, and I'll probably publish it someday for all of the world to read. You can buy my book. I read ten books at a time. Seriously. I spend far too much time running, literally and figuratively. I've come to learn not to expect anything from other people, but it seems I will never learn to stop expecting too much from myself.Despite the fact that I'd never admit it, most of the time, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I'm still learning how to breathe on my own, I'm still figuring out what exactly it is that holds me together, how my different pieces fit into each other, and how it is that, day after day, I manage to keep from falling apart.

I'd like to meet:

INSPIRATION.

Music:

Anything I can dance to. Plus a whole lot more.

Movies:

Movies that make me think. Movies that make me laugh. Movies that make me cry. Movies with GOOD actors, with a script written by GOOD writers. That narrows it down. Recently, a favorite is The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

Television:

I don't usually watch a whole lot of TV. I don't usually have time. I do watch Lost every week...but as far as a regular TV schedule, that's about it. However...I do like: Will and Grace - Lost - Project Runway - Conan O'Brien - What Not to Wear - BlowOut - Amazing Race

Books:

I have boxes and boxes of books. All you need to know is that Dave Eggers is amazing. Read him. Or, read my writing at: http://poetryforbreakfast.blogspot.com and/or http://xanga.com/hurrywritethisdown
