About Me

BIG DISCLAIMER!!! I'm not an underage drinker, just a big dreamer...I'm really a 30-something mom...and I DON'T CONDONE UNDERAGE DRINKING AT ALL...I WILL TELL YOUR MOM!!Words to Live ByI saw Rent Live, biatch.

To days of inspiration
Playing hookey, making
Something out of nothing
The need to express-
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane, going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old Mom and Dad
To riding your bike,
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits - to no absolutes-
To Absolut - to choice-
To the Village Voice-
To any passing fad
To being an us for once ... instead of a them!!
To hand-crafted beers
Made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildoes, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation
Mucho masturbation
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new
To Sontag
To Sondheim
To anything taboo
Ginsberg, Dylan Cunnigham and Cage,
Lenny Bruce
Langston Hughes
To the stage
To Uta. To Buddha. Pablo Neruda, too.
Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Em
La vie Boheme
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
Pee Wee Herman
German wine, turpetine, Gertrude Stein
Antoniotti, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
Carmina Burana
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstacy
Vaclav Havel - The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game
To marijuana
To sodomy, it's between God and me
To S & M
La vie Boheme

My skates can kick your skates' asses. My skates are probably older than you, as well.Now I'm one of those dorks who quotes song lyrics on their profiles. Well, I'll roll with it.I'm very busy.Buy something~show some support!!!I'm very likely to call you a turd to your face if I don't like you...more likely if I do like you.I hate spiders and biscuit cans. Try to keep yourself free of these things, and you'll just be all right.I love karaoke. I never knew it could be so liberating. I actually never knew I could sing until Ana convinced me to give it a try--I ain't no American Idol, but at least I don't make a complete fool of myself (usually).I hold a grudge a lot longer than I consider healthy, so don't think I've forgotten about what you did 12 years ago--you'll get yours eventually. I'm very patient. I also know what you did last summer.I absolutely adore Roller Derby. It was my entire life for about 6 months, but unfortunately, due to impending life and order, I have to take a little break--but I hope to be kicking asses back on the rink asap.

As for things going as planned...

They, of course, did not.  We were massacred at our bout, but we came away with a cornucopia of knowledge and a heaping helping of humble pie...and some broken fingers and various bruised parts.&...
