Just your ordinary goofy, tall, thick, dark lass with a weakness for a strong jack and coke (even though, sigh, I'm trying to cut down on them), smiling, playing board games, playing "adult" jenga and bones in particular, LIVING LIFE, watching concerts, watching concert DVDs, watching the sun set (man, it's beautiful out here - where's the smog??), watching people, listening to music i dig, listening and gabbing with people i dig, and hell, just meeting new cool folks in general... what can I say?

(ha, I couldn't resist)

yea so, I'm a social drinker (surprise, surprise), so I thought I'd take a pic of one my favorite libations... a sake appletini, recipe care of yours truly - *drool* - ooh but watch the spins afterwards....

Though... this is a typical work-day for me, pretty much...


(yea, that's pretty right - sigh - which is WHY I'm here to meet cool FOLKS - to SAVE me from myself and my Virgo-slash-Type A proclivities for working myself silly!)

My Interests

I love heading out in heels to go hip-hop dancing. I love meeting friends at dive bars, in comfy jeans, and ready to listen to some good punk or rock. I also love hitting the bookstore on a slow, Sunday afternoon to grab some overpriced coffee concoction and curl up on a chair with a book or two. From wine-tasting, to BJ's Brewhouse, from indie films to Great America, I pretty much like to just hang out and be sociable with my crowd - or enjoy some good alone time by myself. All just depends on my mood, man.

I'd like to meet:

New friends to hang out with... whether it be just chilling with at a movie or renting one, or hanging out at the bars playing pool and flirting up a storm (ha, flirting's good for the SOUL, dammit)! Hey, one thing though - you gotta be open-minded, because life's too short to spend time with judgmental people.

People who adhere strongly to stereotypes and generalizations may as well just move on to the next profile as well, because - likewise - I'm not interested. I'm not a cookie, so don't try to fit me into a cookie-cutter - get me?

To sum it up, I'm cool, lowkey, easy-going and real; all I ask is that you be the same.


(good kitty)


Oh, and I'm old-skool, too - here's a (VERY OLD) favorite game of mine... enjoy! (all it takes is your spacebar and arrow keys...ahhhh old-skool games!)

One last thing about me:



('nuff said)

Anyway, with THAT being said, say hi if you think you're up to meeting an exciting, energetic (and extremely goofy) new friend.

(and now, on to the obligatory QUIZZES, ha...

"Until... the philosopher... which called one race superior and another... inferior... is finally... and permanently... discredited... and abandoned... well everywhere is WAR.... and until there's no longer... first class, no second class citizens of any nation ... until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes... I've got to say WAR .... until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race... WAR... cuz until that day, the dream of lasting peace or citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued... but never attained...

THINK about it folks ... Work towards the victory of good over evil...

Movies:

I have a monster 5' X 4' "Reservoir Dogs" poster hanging over my bed, and I also love Boondock Saints, The Big Lebowksi, Fargo, The Machinist, Imitation of Life (w/Sandra Dee, that version makes me f**king cry, man), and various and sundry CONCERT DVDS (Radiohead, Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Isle of Wight, Crossroads Guitar Festival and my fave concert DVD of all time [to date] FESTIVAL EXPRESS! *what'd you expect from a wildhippychile, hmmm? I also love obscure independent films (you never know what gems you'll find if you don't look for them), so if you have any to suggest, feel free!(I also love the Family Learning Channel... hehe)







And of course -


Television:

The usual - Dave Chappelle, South Park, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Sopranos and... (oh I'm embarassed to say this) varied and sundry reality tv shows... I also dig Discovery Health; National Geographic; and Court TV. And BBC (ooh, I love AbFab). And, uh, Trading Spaces. My gawd, how come no one told me I was such a nerd? (Luckily, I'm fine with it... heh) - and oh MAN, has anyone heard of LITTLE BRITAIN? Funny as hell, if you like that drool on yourself laughing, kind of humor - which has its time and place, fer shure, lol...

Books:

I'm an avid reader, a frickin' voracious reader, so I read a lot. I particularly dig apocalyptic literature; who woulda thunk it, seeing as how I'd probably be the first to (mercifully) drop dead of a massive coronary in the event of most (even fictional) apocalyptic events - nuclear war, a stage 4 zombie attack (brrrr... zombies... brrr), a great plague or other, society-as-we-know-it-ending-event.... I also like reading horror, sci-fi/fantasy, medicolegal slash forensics books, true crime, non-fiction adventure and political literature (Mother Jones magazine, especially). Lots of other stuff as well... ask me if you have any questions.

Heroes:

And a final thought to share:
