About Me

smiling, optimistic, creatively intense, ambitious, sometimes over-the-top, solution maker, advice giver, "talk them off the ledge"-er.

A renaissance gal with gypsy blood.

I believe that everyone has a story & I love sharing people's memories and the art of conversation...I have many loves: Frank Lloyd Wright, Luke Spencer & Butch Walker...Nuno Bettencourt & Gary Cherone, Edward Scissorhands, Chewbacca & Neil Diamond...Jay & Silent Bob, Dweezil Zappa, Jimmy DeCanio...real or fictional, these men all made me stop in my tracksMore Love: the memory of Norby's 6-pack and The Zeros purple locks & Knee-Hi Converse...design & technology & home & photography magazines, googling for design articles & papers...awesome textures & handmade paper...the thrill and fear of a blank page...the satisfaction of seeing a vision realized...one of my favorite moments is while camping: lying next to a dying fire while staring at the stars...I never sleep better than snuggled up in a tent in the woods, altho I do like my air mattress...

I'm a cool geek & almost too much fun at a picnic.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

First, there's no insta-sex here...all creeps be gone!Second, you have to be able to have an opinion, then be able to state it & discuss it in more than grunts...unless intoxicated, then grunts are acceptable. In certain cases, laughing so hard that you snort or gasping repetitive noises may be approved methods of communication.Third, "Too much rock for just one hand" "Where's the Beef?" "Oh No Mr. Bill" "Luke & Laura" "Ancient Chinese Secret" "KISS taking off the make-up, then putting it back on" "ankle bandanas and/or fringe" "Prince: pre-symbol" or Dante complaining "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"...if you're not familiar with at least one of these phrases or concepts then we probably have a generation gap...

you shouldn't be ashamed if a giggle escapes you...you should look forward to building on your life experiences & be excited to celebrate a beautiful day...absolutely no doom & gloomers or those spending a substantial portion of their salary on comic books...you don't have to be creative, but must be able to appreciate creativity...finally, if you're proud to be a Republican, it's going to be a hard sell.

Movies:

All things Tim Burton & Kevin Smith. Fried Green Tomatoes, , Meatballs, Real Genius, The Films of Charles & Ray Eames, the John Hughes spectrum, a majority of John Cusack's work, Run Lola Run, everything a'la Robin Williams, Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin flicks, Labrynth ...

Television:

Books:

I will read anything

Heroes:

Frank Lloyd Wright, Kevin Smith, my bestest girlfriends, DaVinci, Ben Franklin, my brother, all others who make the effort to positively impact others' lives, even if only with a smile...
