I am here for Friends

About Me

I am 49 years young. I am married to one man 22 years. I have two wonderful teenage sons. I have a dog and a cat. I have a degree in Music therapy. I am trying to publish my first novel. I LOVE Shakespeare and Kenneth Branagh. I love all kinds of music. Opera, musical theater, Baroque masters as well as old punk rock and Emo-screamo. My three lastest favorites were and are: Greenday, "Black Parade", and the Fray (How to save a life). I memorize Shakespeare. I have already completed about 20 long soliloquies from Hamlet, Henry V, and Love's Labours Lost. I find it challenging and mindbendingly exhillerating. I highly recommend it. I love birds and have bird feeders behind my house. I get excited when I see a new bird. Sometimes a huge Red-tailed hawk stakes out the feeding station. He scares away the birds but he is amazing to see up close.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are only a few people I have ever wanted to meet and unfortunately some of them have passed on. Shakespeare, Leonard Bernstein, The Beatles (all four), Paul McCartney (specifically), Emma Thompson, and most of all...Kenneth Branagh.

Insomnia

Sleep has never come easy to me.  But it's so weird.  Even when I'm dead tired, sitting at my computer and my eyelids are closing I don't want to get into bed.  I mean finally the house...

Why I don't watch TV

Three years back I was ill and got very depressed.  I found I did not have the attention span for TV, especially the commercials.  Plus I found the subject matter (and the news) disturbing a...
