About Me

if i were in a band, i would play guitar for morningwood. i favor proactive, positive change rather than perpetual whining and finger-pointing. i lead a very busy life with a busy husband, a wonderful child, and a warm home that is always open to all of our friends. this profile is simply for the entertainment of ME. if you take yourself too seriously, you should probably be on Facebook.

My Interests

my interests change daily. my choices in music usually reflect what i'm thinking or what i'm up to.

I'd like to meet:

clowns, rockstars, and carney men. how could i forget the carney men???

Music:

i could go on for days, but these are usually on my ipod or cd player: weezer, modest mouse, dashboard confessional, sinatra, ella, poe, rolling stones, jack johnson, tina turner, SUBLIME, Gorillaz, Beastie Boys, 311, The Killers, The Shins, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Outkast, Primus, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Coldplay, The White Stripes, Oasis, Modest Mouse, No Doubt, Poison, Motley Crew, G & R, Snoop, Dre, and toadies!!

Movies:

if you can get me to sit for a hour and a half to watch a movie, then it must be raining. i'll watch anything lighthearted and silly. anything with vespas!

Television:

no tv for me. NONE!

Books:

I love to read anything and everything. Kite Runner, Night, Whitman, Little Women, Mark Twain, Hawthorne, Melville, Anne Rice, Angela's Ashes, James A. Michener, The Thirteenth Tale, Memoirs of a Geisha. I just read Running with Scissors and I am so dumbfounded that I can't even form an opinion of the book.

Heroes:

my heroes are little old women who don't sugarcoat and "karen" from will & grace. i'll always be indebted to these people who have guided me at some point in time, whether they knew it or not: jack & ale eflin, my grandmother dorothy, mrs. darling, carol lummus, robert etlinger, frank mica, and michael moore (not that one).
