My Interests

I love visiting museums and galleries. Dancing, Sewing, designing, painting, art, traveling and staying in hostels. I hope to someday soon live in Europe. I love to discuss geographic and international differences and similarities. I enjoy teaching and being taught about new ideas artistically or historically. I'm very interested in Architecture, particularly older (before glass and steel skeleton buildings) and can gaze at a cathedral or Buddhist Temple for quite some. I enjoy Art and at the same time enjoy learning History, which is why I wish I could go to grad school soon for Art History but alas, I'm an orphan and have no more money for wishful thinking sighhhhh:) trying to get ever better at glow stick chucking I love to laugh at clever people and the witty things that are capable of. ..

I'd like to meet:

People whom i can discuss art, history and politics with. Artists whether painters, photographers, designers, or prostitutes. I like to meet people who inspire me to be a better person and who are worldly. People whom are creative, have courage-yet chill- and are hilarious. I wish I could meet Johnny Rotten. I also wish I could meet Richard Butler aka Aphex Twin. If I could go back in time, I'd hang out with Andre Breton and The Surrealists in France and Europe. But since all those things are currently impossible, how about you and I become friends?
