I am here for Friends

About Me

Originally from Montana, I'm living in Hawaii for awhile to give myself some peace of mind. I thought I could consider myself a "starving artist", but luckily I never want for much. The world and the people that I've encountered have been remarkable in every way. I've climbed beautifully majestic mountains and swam in the most pristine ocean I could imagine. The people I call friend are too many to name. I'm lucky and grateful! I'd like to leave no trace on this world but the ones of my choosing. My true calling?!? That would be art! To create something with my own skill and creativity...whether it be a mural, a sculpture or even a tattoo...now THAT is inspirational. The polynesian style and history is amazing and I'm considering apprenticeship, but my heart screams for Italy. As much as I dislike dense urban environments, I have to see it 1st hand with my own eyes. The brush strokes of the master...the stern visage of Poseidon in the palazzo...the architecture of the ancients...si certo!

My Interests

Music...I can NEVER get enough! I'm a burgeoning activist...I like people to be passionate about something and make a point to express it. Unfortunately I'm passionate about a lot! Art history! I can stare for hours...keep me out of galleries. Hiking & biking are my physical outlets of choice. There's nothing like climbing thousands of feet to look down upon the world. I like to cook, but am not the best! I love tattoos & recreational autopsies! Sense of humor...I've got one and it's usually pretty dry, but I can be known for taking a darker turn. I love hanging out with my pals and drinking sangria on Lanikai Beach. Surfing and snorkeling in the beautiful azure waters of Oahu. Relaxing in my favorite coffee shop or bookstore is the perfect way to unwind...unless I'm dozing in my hammock shaded by palm trees.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet somebody who cares enough about this world and her people to stand up and make a difference. Somebody who will get out of their automobile and walk. Somebody that reuses and recycles everything they possibly can. Somebody that conserves nonrenewable resources. Somebody that will speak out and inform others how their actions have such devastating consequences on this planet. Somebody who will stand up to world leaders who're placating their people with delusions of security and prosperity while hiding the truth. Somebody that can make a nation of apathetic, consumer obesity recognize the BIGGER picture!Earth Changes

Music:

Just about everything...oddly enough, alternative and bluegrass have been in constant rotation. Seems weird to me too!!! To categorize my favorites would be impossible! There are so many incredible musicians that have influenced my life over the years in countless ways. I love to be introduced to something new and will always respect other peoples taste in tunes...there's no room in music for judgmentalism! I can literally spend an entire day doing nothing but lounging, dancing or working out to my favorite tunes. Those times have been some of my most therapeutic, enlightening and rewarding. Sometimes a complete stranger can relate to me in a way that could never be expressed better. A perfect moment for me always has a great soundtrack. Dancing to it with friends are some of the greatest highlights of my life!!! Some how I always begin and end with A Perfect Circle.

Movies:

HORROR...anything that gets my pulse racing or gets me thinking.

Television:

My roomies have given me the bad reality check...gotta see Restaurant Make-over and Top Chef. I can watch History, Travel, Discovery and the Animal Planet channel anytime. CNN will make me run...can't watch it! Adult Swim is my late night guilty pleasure. There's just something about Assy McGee...

Books:

Spider Queen series has numerous talented authors that give a spectacular appeal to anything dark and evil (good for when I'm feelin cranky)...Kushiel's series by Jacqueline Carey is remarkably written being both sensual and incredibly enthralling. George R R Martin...I'm enjoying fiction lately...helps me escape reality! My old roomie got me convinced to try Terry Pratchett and he's completely responsible for my occasional outburst of laughter in the most inappropriate moments. Aristotle and Xenophon on Democracy and Oligarchy, Sedaris, Salvatore...I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on.

Heroes:

People that have tolerated my existence!

Late letter to Star
