About Me


..I am getting dangerously close to 40, but in my head I am 26 because I refuse to believe that I am as old as I am. Or act like what 40 is supposed to be. I still stay up too late, shop in the junior department, don't always eat my vegetables, and do not have an investment portfolio. Career wise, I have been "involved" with a lovely bar for almost five years, have a masters degree in Oriental Medicine/acupuncture, and medical assistant training, but back to the whole "refusing to grow up" problem, I don't really want to leave the bar even though I know I should. Change scares the hell out of me and once I find a comfort zone I will not/cannot leave. I love school and never want to stop taking classes which is good, because on top the education I have I still want to be a lawyer and a teacher and an astronaut and a zookeeper and a vet and a cowboy. So there you have it.http://bunnyherolabs.com/adopt/finish.php?clr=0xde5cba&am p;cn=hamlet&an=atomicbrina&mc=hamster%2Eswf ..

My Interests

Paint by numbers, my guinea pig, Stella, 3 kitties, and geriatric dogs, love to go out for cocktails with friends, ghost stories, coffee, great bands w/ small crowds, people who really do know it all, classic cars and the people who love them, anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously,fascinated by serial killers, but don't wanna be one when I grow up! Well timed sarcasm, comedy, fancy boozie drinks in pretty glasses, exotic va-ca destinations, chain smoking road trips, quirky roadside attractions, mechanical bulls, roadside bars in small towns, dive bars in strange cities, fried food, garden gnomes, sock monkeys, lunch in new restaurants,chemistry, physiology, physics, nutrition, and ANYONE who understands science, Sunday brunch, antiques, photography, commas, and adventures/escapades..life is too short!

I'd like to meet:

Acupuncturists, People who are fun,interesting, enthusiastic and intelligent who do not want to have cyber-sex or sell me an i-pod, or tell me how to make $ taking surveys, or adult toys, or "free" gift cards, or ring tones, or want to show me their web cam. Instead I want to meet anyone who can help me answer the 1000's of questions I have about everything...I'm very inquisitive and I wonder around a lot. Would also like to meet people that could recommend a good book, a rockin' band, talk about a great show or offer up a bit of humor....I also have a list of dead writers who inspire me and useless celebrities that I would like to smack. Oh and the president. I have some issues I would like to discuss....then I would like to push him in front of a bus.Then I could meet the secret service. That might be cool.

You're Catch-22!
by Joseph Heller
Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid .

Heroes:

Cowboys, Mae West, Abbie Hoffman, Henry Rollins, Indiana Jones

new quote

this is some funny stuff......"He was liberal-well, not really liberal, but, like, from Arizona." Now, I don't really know what to make of it, but it definately is worth sharing!

another helpful hint.....

Okay, and this one is important. If it is very loud in the bar due to a band and large crowd, when you order EITHER raise your voice or talk closely to the bartender. NOT both. Yelling in the bartende...
