Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Black&table
Writing, illustrating (conceptual (for film), comic, fantasy, erotic, fine art & underground/lowbrow), sculpting (some), singing (professionally since the age of 3 - I kid you not! I do NOTHING as a "hobby"). Special (Makeup) FX (I've been trained somewhat - thanks cousin Ricky!). Reading & studying philosophy, theology, (I LOVE to read). Good fiction is great (particularly in the horror/dark fiction and erotica veins). Reading, illustrating & thinking up cool comix. Hanging out with friends & family... Oh yeah - I'm also a damn good cook (Really dig it - there's something very therapeutic & satisfying about going into the kitchen & whipping up something you know everyone is going to enjoy. I guess that goes for everything I do... lol)! Forgot to mention that I'm a RABID film-buff as well. There's more, but that'll come later... ;)
You wanna know more NOW, why don't you read the rest of my profile.....

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
People who are on the real & for real, who love & cherish me for all my quirky, eccentric qualities & who are pure of heart. People who are creative & understand the artistic heart. People who are secure in themselves, know what they want & are not afraid to go after it. People who are sensitive & caring, but know when to be strong & take command. People who have NEVER, EVER forgotten where they've come from. People whose minds, hearts & souls are open. People who ENHANCE me, not hinder me. No poison here please. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM for phonies, liars, and people who waste my time with incessant bullshit. I am QUITE a handful & bit of a challenge (in many ways I might add, both good & bad), a complex creature. So if you can't step to me - then step off. With me, in my world, trust & respect are to be earned - not blatantly given out. I expect the best from the people I know & love because I give the VERY best of myself without question, right or wrong. Accept me as I accept you, and you're in like flint. I am a woman of my word, and I'm an excellent friend. One you'll probably have for life. Oh yeah - people who love to laugh and who love to make others laugh are always welcome too... lol!*ATTENTION* I absolutely WILL NOT accept ANY "friend requests" from persons whose profiles are set to "private" unless of course, I know you already, or you e-mail me with an explanation. NO EXCEPTIONS. That "private" thing just creeps me out too much - it shows me one's got something to hide. And yeah, due to me accepting some of those types of requests in the past, I've had a couple of creepy experiences. Sorry, but that's how it stands, and that's how it stays.....
