About Me



____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________

About Me Huh?

The words "I am" are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you're claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you. ~A.L. Kitselman

I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am. ~Sylvia Plath

...and now you know.

Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling? ~M.C. Escher

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. ~Charles Schulz

My Interests



Interests?

Life. People watching. Music. Dancing. "Swaying." MP3 Players. Soccer. Hiking. Laughter. Starry Nights. Sunsets. Road Trips. The Theatre. Musicals. Movies. Group Drinks. Family. "Family." Big Dinners. Beers with light-hearted conversations. The Water. Docks. Row Boats. Big Couches. Books. Details. Art. Acoustic Music. Inside Jokes. Not knowing where you are going but going somewhere none-the-same. Lingering. Long-Sleeved Shirts with Shorts. Coffee! Chai. Debate. Stitch and Snoopy. People Meeting and Greeting. The little things that lead up to something bigger. Upsetting stereotypes and bianaries. And people who remind me to "just breathe."

We need more Labradors. The world is full of blind people. They don’t see Picasso and me dignified in our love. They see perverts, inverts, tribades, homosexuals. They see circus freaks and Satan worshipers, girl-catchers and porno turn-ons. Picasso says they don't know how to look at pictures either.
-- Jeanette Winterson "Poetics of Sex"

"Without knowing how, or when, or from where....simply, without problems or pride." -- Neruda

I'd like to meet:



For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable. ~Dave Tyson Gentry

Music:



The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself. ~Rita Mae Brown, Venus Envy

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory. ~Oscar Wilde


"I say, it's loneliness suspended
To our own like grappling hooks,
And as long as she's got noise
She's Fine
But I could teach her how I learned to dance
When the music's ended..."


Dar Williams ~ As Cool As I Am

Eve’s mouth hurts from trying not to laugh
At some joke some scholar made about her being someone’s half.
It was a joke, a lie, exaggeration, a fib.
And now you all believe I came from his rib.

She screams at the top of her lungs:
"I’m whole! I’m body,
I’m heart, I’m mind, I’m soul."

Alix Olson's "Eve's Mouth"

Movies:



My Life's Monologue:

Harper Pitt : Imagining, just like me. Except the only time I wasn't imagining is when I was with you. You, the one part of the real world that I wasn't allergic to. -- From Angels in America

Television:



All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching? ~Nicholas Johnson

A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. ~Author Unknown

Heroes:



I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
