About Me

I am a little vegetarian fish waiting to be caught and kept.
.
"About the young man and his radio. I decided that he had bought the thing as a prosthetic device, as an artificial enthusiasm for the planet. He paid as little attention to it as I paid to my false front tooth. I have since seen several young men like that in groups--with their radios tuned to different stations, with the radios engaged in a spirited conversation. The young men themselves, perhaps having been told nothing but "shut up" all their lives, had nothing to say." Kurt Vonnegut

My Interests

I like happy endings. I enjoy experience and wisdom.
TOAST!LOVE, my mother, my two cats, receiving cut flowers, hugs, muscle memory, sourdough bread, music boxes, plush shag carpeting, dry heat, running and running away, friendship, clean, hope, idealism, chaos, nudity, plumeria trees, tomato vine, the cinema (and now Netflix ), technicolor, collecting meaningful items, habituation, subway rats, intention, family, nostalgia, purging, dancing , metal, looking, nature, warmth, and home
I like nice things that allow me to think I live in a world of beauty.
I often wish I weren't as perceptive.
I have a tough time dealing with my own mortality and finite existence.

I'd like to meet:


validation and affirmation.
I would like to meet serious people that are serious about doing and living and loving. I want people in my life that remind me it is best to be serious about love and life, and fun. I also would like to meet someone who truthfully believes in me, and would like to share my days and nights.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Shopgirl --

I just watched Shopgirl for the first time.  I really liked it.  But, it made me sad.  I think it's a good tale, and should things turn out so romantic, and idealized, just like Mirabel...
