How am I supposed to sleep when I'm on Rockabilly?

About Me

Ex- New Yorker who got married and moved to the South. Good Lord, haa haa... Love it here, but I do miss pizza at 4am. Anyone want to open a good late night joint outside the Bird?? DEC MBHC Forever...
I ride and train horses, hunters and jumpers. I show them when I can. I train people to ride, kids mainly. I like them when they listen, which isn't often...
I love music, from Rockabilly to Doo Wop to honky tonk to glam rock and everything inbetween. Hail Elvis, Buddy, and Gene. The Belmont Playboys, of course... Not to mention Mike Hendrix and the Parodi Kings ;) ... Social Distortion, Enuff Z'Nuff (odd combo), Merle Haggard, old country 50's rock and roll, glam punk, some psychobilly, some 80s... I love black and white movies, can't stand it when they've been colorized. Noir films of the 40s are some of my favorites, as well as the lighter movies of the 50's (The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer).
Cars... Oh, how I love cars. Specifically mine... 1956 Ford Fairlane... I'm a Ford girl for the most part but I don't discriminate against other cars, though, there's love enough for all of them! Just not enough garage space... Packards, DeSotos, Kaisers, Caddies... Mercs, Lincolns... Love them all. I like drag racing, but don't do it. There's just something about the sound of the engines and the smell of nitro in the morning... ;)
I am a font of useless knowledge, although when I play anything trivia related, I forget it all. Murphy's Law... I can fold a fitted sheet into an actual rectangle. I can put a song lyric to any situation, as long as it's ridiculous (the lyric or the situation)
"Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter that looks like Elvis... Elvis said 'Find 'em young!' and Fred said 'Old fashioned girls are fun...' Yabba dabba do... The King is gone..." ~ George Jones
"Two hundred miles? In This day and age? I don't even know where I LIVE now!" ~ Eddie Izzard
"Talk a wicked game but when it comes on down to play I seem to hold my own and it has always been that way" ~ Enuff Z'Nuff
"So take me down the road, take me to the show... It's something to believe in that no one else knows... But DON'T TAKE ME FOR GRANTED..." ~ Social Distortion
"Little less conversation, little more action. All this aggrivation ain't satisfaction in me..." ~ ELVIS
"Don't ever try to tame a wild cat, you'd just be wasting your time... Just leave me like you found me, don't put no chains around me, oh no... Not me... You want a lamb, but I'm a wild cat if you just keep that in mind..." ~ Gene Vincent

"I don't want to be in any talent show. Not with out my Tennesee Walking Horses" ~ Homer Simpson
"Bottle infront of me is like a frontal lobodomy... One more swig will alter my psychology..." ~ Faster Pussycat
"Humans don't go horse back riding, horses go child wearing" ~ Eddie Izzard
"Being eaten by an alligator is like falling peacefully to sleep. In a blender." ~ Homer Simpson
"Sittin' here on a swing I don't worry about anything 'cause worrying seems like a waste of time" - Thee Trash Brats
"Hello Darlin', nice to see you... It's been a long time, you're just as lovely as you used to be..." ~ Conway Twitty ""What is it boy? Fire? Earthquake? Hippies??" ~ Homer Simpson
"Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down, other times I want to blow this town..." ~ Social Distortion
"I didn't think it was possible for something to both suck and blow at the same time" ~ B.Simpson
"Come on and let my lips do the talking Let my creepers do the walking... I'm stranded by the Standard and my ego has just landed..." ~ Backyard Babies
"It's time to win the love of these hateful morons" ~ Monty Burns

Oh good, it's nice to see I belong in the same year my car came from. I knew we had a bond... ;)
You Belong in 1956
1956 If you scored...1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! What Year Do You Belong In?
Oh look! You can adopt a Penguin! I think everyone needs to adopt a Penguin. Or at least go to one... ;)
adopt your own virtual pet!

My Interests

Englebert Humperdinck... The strength of a small pony... It's quite strong, that is... Old cars, horses, hot rods, rockabilly, vintage clothing, Eddie Izzard, car shows, beer, coffee, books, reading, altering clothes, bars, bands, hanging out...

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests, styles, hobbies, whatever, but something in common. Being human doesn't count, it has to be just a little more than that. Attitude problems welcome, have one myself.
So, it seems nobody can read this. I turned off the insta-add feature. Now you actually have to know me to add me. It had to be done. I don't want to "hook up", I'm married. I don't want to "be a model", I have a brain. I know what you think is my "1960 Chevy" is cool. Especially since it's a FORD. No, I won't take you for a ride. Friends can message me first or add me with my email address. Don't know either? Then you'll have to message. Sorry to be a bitch, but two pages of "friend" requests in one day from people with NOTHING but semi-naked girls on their pages and lines like "I like to fuck, let's meet tonight" for their headline sent me over the edge.
BANDS!! Take a look at my profile and my interests BEFORE clicking on "add to friends". Does your band even SEEM like something I would like? AT ALL? Do not try to add me just because you want another chick on your page!
Who I don't want to meet: SERIOUSLY people... READ THIS The number of requests I've gotten lately from guys who have 563 "friends" who are all girls in thongs bending over backwards infront of the camera is INSANE. I do NOT want to be part of a porn star wanna-be addled list. I will DENY YOU. Why is this so tough? Want to be friends? Do we have anything in common? Think before you hit "add"!! Drop a line before trying to add me unless we're already friends. Unless we already know eachother, do not just add me! I will ignore it!!It's just the polite thing to do...
People who take (half) naked pictures of themselves in the mirror. Have someone else take the damned picture, it will come out better. Anyone with a mullet. Anyone with an overinflated sense of self-worth, it's just too boring to deal with. Poker players, haters, sidesteppers and snakes, you know who you are...

Music:

Elvis... Rockabilly, some new, some old... Some psychobilly... The Belmont Playboys... Mike Hendrix and the Parodi Kings... Jerry Lee... Elvis... Buddy Holly... Gene Vincent... Elvis... Doo Wop, Old Punk, Glam Rock, Enuff Z'Nuff, Social Distortion, Old Country, 50s Rock and Roll... Did I mention Elvis? Hollywood glam... The Glamour Punks... Glam Punk... Backyard Babies, Trash Brats... Faster Pussycat, old LA Guns, Junkyard... The Bones... You get the idea :)

Movies:

black and white, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyk, George Sanders, Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert

Television:

Simpsons, Forensic Files, all the Law and Orders, Cold Case Files, Daria, Futurama

Books:

All My Friends Are About To Become Strangers, Valley of the Dolls, Memoirs of a Geisha, A Confederacy of Dunces, Anything Richard Russo, Big Phil's Kid, biographies on 30s and 40s movie stars

Heroes:

RICKY PARENT
