The Woman In Black

This Woman Wants You . . . DEAD!

About Me


Can you feel the thirst? I'm interested in experiencing all that life has to offer -- the good and the bad, the exciting and the mundane, the happy and the sad, all the colors of the rainbow. I try to learn something from every single person I meet and touch as many different lives as I can. It's not the things we do that we regret; it's the things we don't do -- and I have no intention of having any regrets when I die!

My Interests

Movies -- mostly drama, horror, and indies; concerts, especially those that involve Pearl Jam; cooking; the beach; travel; tattoos; my cats and fishes; sushi; drinking wine with friends; being around open-minded people.
