My Interests

laughter, good company, and, hello, my name is Chessa, and i'm a karaoke addict... I can also quote Eddie Izzard and Monty Python at will...gotta love those boys. and of course, Gotham Girls Roller Derby!!!

I'd like to meet:

People who inspire me...whether to go out and live the dream, or just to get my ass outta bed for "brunch". F*ck that. I'm nocturnal. Meet me for dinner and a drink and we'll talk... and cause much trouble :-}

A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity. -Eleanor Roosevelt, diplomat and writer (1884-1962)
