Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?

About Me



I'm a complete dork, a sucker for intelligent coversation and I'm really funny. I tend to get bored easily so I'm always intrigued by smart, cool people who can keep me interested for a while. Not to be confused with pseudo-intellectuals who ramble on forever thinking they're funny but really they're annoying. I can spot a writer a mile away...the real kind, not the aspiring screenwriter types often found brooding over a soy vanilla something or other. If you can turn a phrase, you'll probably have me at hello. In some circles I am known as Madame Hyperbole. In others, I'm just Madame. That's how I roll.

My Interests

Good books, great music, bad tv, most movies, my family, useless facts, languages, traveling, the smell of laundry, the sound of rain, 75 degrees with a slight breeze, Sarah Silverman, breakfast foods, the beach, Taboo, Bruins, cooking classes, massages, dogs, trashy magazines, theatre, sudoku, kissing, petnames, ballroom dancing, making my friends laugh till it hurts, great restaurants, daisies in brown paper and twine, velvet curtains, Jo Malone

I'd like to meet:

People who don't suck. Someone with a weird talent would also be cool...like a pyrotechnician (a real one, not the maniac kind), a contortionist, a mime....well, maybe not a mime, they kinda freak me out. Clowns freak me out too.But mostly people who don't suck.
