...I'm better just to have known you...

About Me


I am feeling wantonly womanly and ravenously romantic at the moment! I am in love! I am surrounded by love! I drink love in! I am love!
Height is my claim to fame. Yes, my friends I'm a descendent of Hippolyte herself...an Amazon to be sure. Well, THAT and my inability to spell things correctly. I also have an uncanny knack for misquoting song titles and/or lyrics. (there's a joke in this...wait for it...)
I'm a hopeless romantic and every possible connotation of that term applies.
I live in the Queen City!!! Yes, I traded up to some concrete and enriching actviities...(wait...)
I claim to like to read, but rarely make time for it. Actually, I've been reading quite a bit as of late.
I love to travel and wander around new places. I find architecture and the little charming nuances of new cities to be entirely fun! My absolute favorite thing about traveling, other than meeting new people, is discovering new foods and tiny out of the way, non-chain Mom and Pop places to eat. I also like to eat at the posh spots too! That's the great thing about food...it is just so yummy! (wait...)
I love most kinds of music and am usually all about the lyrics. (bam...there it is you can laugh now...) I have a dry sense of humor. I'm afraid this is a prime example of a typical joke for me.
I have a three year old son...he is an absolute joy!
I have a boring job, which is what brings me here.

My Interests

LOVE, music, reading, all things artistic, cultivating a rich life experience through being open to new things, helping others, beginning to know myself, hilarity and other hedonistic type endeavors.

Take the quiz: "What Kinda Kiss R U?"

Tender Kiss
The tender kiss is the feeling where you can be anywhere and show your feelings.

I'd like to meet:

Historical Figures: Jesus, Benjamin Franklin, Van Gogh and Baudelaire.
Music Makers: Robert Smith, Bono, Brett Hestla and Myles Kennedy AGAIN!
Thespians: Males = Colin Farrell, Bill Murray, Johnny Depp, Jim Carey and Timothy Olyphant. Females = Nicole Kidman and Mandy Moore...yes, I said it...she is the future wife of my son...well either that, or she better have a daughter in the next 2 years.
Comedians: Jon Stewart

Music:



80s the backing track of my childhood, The Cure and other EuroPop/Alternative stuff, Radio Pop, Mo-town, some 70s, Jeff Buckley and just recently delving into the rock arena ranging from BLS to Alter Bridge, Dark new Day and of course Myles Kennedy's former group the Mayfield Four.

I don't know who took this picture of Myles Kennedy, but I absolutely love it!

A sketch quote attempting to delineate the voice of Myles Kennedy.
"On me your voice falls as they say love should, like an enormous YES!"

"MARS HOTEL" by the Mayfield Four...I saw her in an empty bar The smell of wine and cheap cigars Trigger visions of her face To this day We tried to dance for years to come But two can't lead and waltz as one, We loved and learned, And learned to love, But it was not enoughFoolish pride got in our way(Chorus) She could take my heart and soul She could take my hand to hold Why'd she have to take advantage of me I tried to pay for all the things She could want or ever need Don't make me pay for all the past, pleaseSo now we're living far apart I hope to god our paths don't cross This may seem shallow, But her beauty makes me weak I long to hold her once again and Reconcile and then give in To realize, later on We'd made the same mistakeHold on to the lesson you learnedShe could take my heart and soul she could take my hand to hold Why'd she have to take advantage of me I tried to pay for all the things She could want or ever need Don't make me pay for all the past So much to tow, bogged down With all the history to hold The blame fell hard on me Apologies were too short-lived She never really could forgive mistakesShe could take my heart and soul she could take my hand to hold Why'd she have to take advantage of me I tried to pay for all the things She could want or ever need Don't make me pay for all the past, noShe took my heart she took my soul she took my fragile hand to hold she took advantage all the time I'll take her back Cause her love makes me blind

I *heart* Alter Bridge!

Television:

I'm a recovering reality tv whore. VH1's Breaking Bonaduce helped me fall off the wagon...now onto Bravo's second season of Project Runway. Firefly, Simpsons, Reno 911 (sometimes funny) and the Daily Show. Kid favorites: the Smurfs, the Thundercats, Fat Albert, the Jeffersons, Good Times, Magnum PI, the Hulk, Wonder Woman, Quincy M.D., the Flintstones, the Pink Panther, the Justice League, Hannah Barbara Toons, Perfect Strangers, Designing Women, the Golden Girls, He-Man and She-ra, X-men, Batman, Saved by the Bell, Head of the Class and Night Court. hmm...still thinking...

Books:

Jeffery Deaver, old Patricia Cornwell, Literary Classics, I'm just beginning to venture into the world of fantasy...this started with the Zahn Star Wars Illustrated Trilogy...now, I'm reading The Dragon Lance Chronicle Vol. 1. Yep, still striving to earn my GEEK badge!

Heroes:

My heroes have always been cowboys. Not really, although I do have to admit that I liked the Lone Ranger once upon a time...I had R2D2 and Spider-man under roos as a child, so I'm sure that says something doesn't it? I also loved Snoopy and Miss Piggy.Heroic comic types: The TICK - I adore his naivety and his mixed metaphors. Wolverine - Particularly, the Hugh Jackman version. YUMMY! Batman - Dark dork, but I like his toys and you know all chicks dig that car. Spidey - Smartass and looks good in tights, what's not to love? Just pretending to have a geek side here...I know I will forever remain a lowly dork and will never qualify for full-fledged geek status.Real life: I don't have one. I do have a mentor type fellow though, his name is Dr. Doom. Pretty cool, huh?

Lunch...

I love the taste of ketchup and mayonnaise when they are mixed together and are dripping off of a Wendy's single with cheese...this is the only time it works...it has to be pre-mixed a happy incident....
