Pardon the clusterfuck here...
Travel (everywhere, anywhere, at every available opportunity); all things vampiric; ghost stories; museums...especially unusual ones, like the Pharmacy Museum in New Orleans; romantic watercolor portraits of mysterious-looking people; Disney World (the Haunted Mansion & Pirates of the Carribean); dancing- doing it, watching it, anything; shopping (Ebay junkie); antiques (love to dig around thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets); Cafe du Monde's cafe au Lait with chicory; Baskin Robbins' Cappucino Blasts; White Russions; Salvia Divinorum; brass knuckles, cobblestone streets and gas lanterns; nerdy things like website design and my office supply fetish (fresh post-it notes make me so happy); curvy, feminine women; picnics; laughter; BDSM (prefer my Domme side but enjoy being a submissive on occasion) and miscellaneous fetishes; intensity; passion; authentic Italian food, peel & eat barbecued shrimp, crab rangoon, creme brulee; all creatures, great and small...particularly penguins, kittens and sporting dogs; great conversation; the NRA; survivalism, including hunting/conservation; casinos; Kliban's cats; The Far Side; pro-choice; wood-burning fireplaces; having my hair brushed; exploring sexuality and sensuality; romance, the unexpected kind; snuggling; hypnotism; swimming or anything having to do with water (waterfalls, mmm); music; movies; reading; writing bad poetry; a good soaking rain; courtyards as those in New Orleans' French Quarter; car shows (I love classic cars and want one of those 30's or 40's models with suicide doors *grin*), gun shows (and "gun porn" lol), home shows, etc; The Sims; flowers, particularly bunches of blooms, tulips for example; Lilith; candlelight; sandalwood and nag champa incense; perfume (Opium and Clinique's "Happy" are favorites); fashion; couture; I have a thing for fabrics (good velvet, silk, satin, unusual lace patterns, linen, chiffon, tweeds), black leather accessories with brass accents (Aigner fan), Burberry Nova plaid scarves, cashmere anything, lingerie (whether delicate and feminine or PVC, *wink*), vintage clothing or reproductions, whether Victorian, Edwardian, or early 20th century (through the 40s) and luxuries such as salon treatments and massages; (real) fur; cigarette holders and antique compacts; vintage costume jewelry; silver jewelry; moonstone; aquamarine; cameos; burlesque; pin-ups; refrigerator magnets; architecture; caves; eccentricity, though not purposeful, contrived obscurity; sharp-witted sarcasm; darkness, literally and figuratively; spirituality; moonlight; Halloween; costumes and special effects makeup; long hair; no hair; accents (cultured British, French, and New York! lol); immersing myself in various cultures; people-watching; print modeling (I used to runway model *way* back in the day); porn *smile*; erotica; old cemetaries; the Tarot; piercings and tattoos; the gothic subculture and aesthetic; art, though not modern, so much; hedonism, kink, raunch, debauchery and charity work; coffee and cigarettes (or those damn Starbucks double shots); and hats (I want a classic black fedora, please).
Misc. personality notes:
I personally don't see race, religion or nationality as a barrier, only as another layer that makes each individual uniquely interesting. At the same time, I don't have much patience with what some people consider "political correctness" (although the quickest way to turn me off is to use a racial slur).
I have an affinity with those who appreciate the nontraditional aesthetic- perhaps those who find the sum of a woman, or a man, to be most attractive.
I have an intense dislike for dishonesty and manipulation. However, nobody's perfect, including me.
I'm dying to learn to play the piano and drums, take singing lessons, ballroom and swing dancing lessons, attend photography classes, master the Spanish language, go scuba diving, practice Tae-Bo, skydive at least once, try acting again and go horseback riding and skating for the first time since I was a kid (a badly broken leg ruined both). I'd also like to learn how to ride a bike and whistle (not necessarily simultaneously)...I have never done either.
I have been told that I have an artisan mentality, and I love to soak up new experiences, so I am open to lots of activities including theatre, concerts, art (especially photography) exhibits, you name it, I might just try it :).
Pretentious Personal Quote:
"Class is not defined by numerical values, the color of one's collar nor the height of one's heel, but by one's philosophies, attitudes and behaviors." ---Me
I'd like to meet:
If anything in my profile resonates with others, perhaps an introduction is in order. In other words, I'd like to meet others who run with scissors, or enjoy those who do ;)
Those who are condescending or presumptuous are discouraged, unless you fuckers make it fun. Folks with dishonest motives, no matter how justified they may feel, are most unwelcome ::imperious sniff::

Sometimes We Find Ourselves on the Other Side of it
You do come with such force, these
nights you leave me waiting
until the hour closest to
light, wringing my hands. You
step in my doorway, your
shining teeth hiding the secrets of
the deepest riverbottoms,
slip beneath the currents
smacking the wet stone,
you littered feather, you leaf,
green as the first day of summer.
Your lips are always moving,
always weaving words like
interchangeable parts of a half-built boat,
humming the deep satin rumble
of electric drills.
The clocks have stopped around me;
the sundial hesitates, planning,
holding its breath to see what happens next.
I am endless on the shore,
face full of fairytales,
hands prematurely tying bits of sodden string
to my littlest finger.
I am an empty bottle on the
edge of dirty waves,
swirling the sand's unmentionables,
no secret messages,
no faded yellow pleasures corked within.

What Fictional Vampire Archtype are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Television:
Law & Order & SVU addict. Crossing Jordan (Jill Hennessy addict too). I always end up watching everything when it becomes reruns: early Designing Women, The Twilight Zone, ER, China Beach, Life Goes On, Friends, Ellen, the Rosanne Halloween episodes. I occasionally indulge in a tacky miniseries like East of Eden or Lace. If I'm not careful I get sucked into MTV Cribs and Pimp My Ride, or reality shows like The Real World, Joe Schmoe or Survivor (those are the most fun to watch with others- "OMG I can't believe he just said that!" etc). Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, the original Scooby Doo. Vintage comedy such as The Carol Burnett Show and Flip Wilson. I'm likely to land on anything when I'm flipping, particularly A&E, The Learning Channel, The Travel Channel (Great Hotels' Samantha Brown is so damn cute). History, Discovery, Animal Planet, MSNBC, etc. I do have a special hatred for such shows as professional wrestling, the Springer & Lake monstrosities or anything with a title such as "Flesh-Eating Virus" (come on, Health Channel, jeez!).

Which Girl Interrupted character are you?
Susanna Kaysen
You are the main character, a Girl, Interrupted. You have a borderline personality and were admitted to Claymore after chasing a bottle of aspirin with a bottle of vodka. You ended being up a successful writer after your release, just like Sylvia Plath.
Books:
I read voraciously. At the moment, I most enjoy books that I can forget I'm even reading- great storytellers, like Stephen King, Robin Cook, Ken Follet, Jonathan Kellerman, Michael Crichton, older John Grisham, Scott Turow, Vincent Bugliosi (I'm a true crime fan as well) etc. Love Lawrence Sanders' Archy McNally series too, and Ann Rice's Vampire and Witch series. Sylvia Plath, Shirley Jackson, Robert Bloch, H.P. Lovecraft, Flannery O'Connor, Dickens, Poe; early 20th century authors, but I get annoyed when I'm bogged down in literary interpretation, so books are not brain food for me at this time- shameful. Nearly anything by Greenery Press, or with subject matter pertaining to the sex industry or courtesanship ("The Crimson Petal and the White" and "Madame Cleo's Girls" are recent favorites). Erotica...Anais Nin, Anne Rice as Anne Rampling & A.N. Roquelaire. Spirit food- Sylvia Brown and a bit of Marianne Williamson. Magazines: Glamour, People, Conde Nast Traveler, Vogue, Budget Living, Spin, PC Magazine, Consumer Reports, $$$pread and other off-the-beaten-path rags.
Heroes:
Bob Hope, Weird Al Yankovic, Courtney Love, Gwyneth Paltrow, Princess Diana, the Julia Sugarbaker character from "Designing Women". Some of my female clients- smart women who have a plan and stick to it no matter what, who succeed personally and professionally and never compromise their ethics (even if they are not the ethics of others)- women of strong character. Catherine Lecroix. Annie Sprinkle. People who are able to learn to be unapologetic for their quirks or imperfections, and who instead capitalize on or even enjoy them. Survivors...particularly those who continue go on no matter how bleak things may seem, or no matter graceless or halting their progress.
