Sitting in the deep red grass under a burnt orange sky....

About Me

I am truly a roiling mass of utter confusion, a motley creature of the deep. I belong to all genres and times and to none. Pieces of all worlds exist in me....
Ok, that was delightfully dramatic. Seriously though, I'm a little bit of everything. Uniqueness 101 as I like to say. For example, my computer's music folder contains System of a Down, Enya, Celine Dion, Enigma, Goo Goo Dolls, Dixie Chicks, Loreena McKennitt, Train, Dave Matthews, Blues Brothers, yoga and meditation music and damn near everything in between. And I really do like ALL of it. Hell, I've listened to Rob Zombie, Celine, Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, and the Sister Act 2 soundtrack all the same HOUR before.
My clothes are likewise a mix of Hot Topic, JC Penney, Goodwill, Aeropostale, and anime/sci-fi/fantasy fandom t-shirts.
My obsessions and personas change usually every few months, sometimes every few weeks. Variety is the spice of life!
Current TV Obsession: DOCTOR WHO!!!!! OMG I love this freaking show!
Current Musical Obsession: DISTURBED!!!! THEY FUCKING ROCK MY WORLD!!!!
