About Me

I love: tigers (especially classic rock ones) and ten cent coffee on rte 146 at 2am and wine and ralph lauren cotton sheets in lime green or melon and vintage 60's print pillow cases and reading and any and all visual imagery and very hot peppers and new england weather and vintage cookbooks and finding a magnetic fields song to fit my every mood and situation and new bedford memorabilia (a dead whale or a stove boat, ali) and all my geranium plants and painting and noodles and the ocean and dive bars and savers and costume jewelery and amusement parks and flea markets and ghetto mama earrings and random hook-ups and pushing my own boundaries and diners at dawn and dancing and hardcore rap music and indian food and my old block in new orleans and finding ceramic animals at yard sales and road trips and struggling post-industrial american cities and artwork that creates something better than the reality it is attempting to imitate and being alternately very social and sometimes just wanting to sit in my room and drink wine and collage and cowboy boots and clothing in hot pink and orange and lime green and making mix cds and kissing and knitting leg warmers and people who are funny and parties with themes and vintage sweaters and glitter and hummus and cooking and my friends and piles of quilts and down comforters and loud makeup and tattoos and dressing slutty and being outrageous and being quiet and lying in the sun reading books and drinking coffee.
Sometimes I just listen to too much Nina Simone and sit in my room and am overwhelmed. Sometimes I get up to a lot of drunken nonsense. Sometimes I make brilliant art work and sometimes I can't even bring myself to clean my house or eat reasonable meals. Sometimes I throw fantastic parties and am a incredible cook and witty conversationalist. I like books and words and pictures. I like unexpected things to happen. I can be sad or very very happy from minute to minute. I have a lot of energy but sometimes I want to stay in my bed all day and be snuggly. I am very shy, but I have no boundaries either, and sometimes I confuse people.
Plus I'm an amazing Night Street Table Tennis player. Believe that. Because the point is NOT to hit the ball people!!! The point is to RUN AFTER IT!!!Also, see my art at http://www.lizmdiamond.com/index.html

My Interests

My main interest is of course Night Street Table Tennis, played while wearing the regulation short shorts with the glow-in-the-dark puffy paint lettering. I also enjoy making art, drinking wine, (frequently at the same time), books, records, vintage clothing, the public library, cooking extra-spicy fabulous food, collaging, 60's cookbooks, pictures of chicken legs and milk cartons and other interesting food from the ground, art parties, my herb garden, hanging out on my porch, and bringing glue and my sketchbook to bars so I can collage in a social setting.

My Blog

What I Need To Know

I have this very small collection of vintage reference/instructional manuals that I keep on my desk. I sort of think of this collection as my rules to life. I am very selective when it comes to aquire...

Vulnerability: I hate it.

I am in a very bad mood. Because I had to call out sick from work today due to back pain. I tend not to take these back pain incidents of mine very seriously, since they are usually caused by nothing,...
