About Me

Trying to categorize myself would be as useful as saying "Let's make like a bread truck and haul buns", as opposed to 'let's go'. The only thing it would be good for is a laugh. I don't fit any A or B specific type.
What I can say is, I love the rain, but I get cold easily. I like cucumbers but not pickles. I'm only high maintenance when it comes to food. I drink tea way too much. I sing to Billy Joel in the car with the windows rolled all the way down in a bad neighborhood. I will voluntarily skip like the Wizard of Oz gang in a crowded public place. I can't whistle(well) or burp on cue. I make jokes with the boys when the other girls just giggle. So far, I've done my taxes every year. My impulse buy is sheet music. My friends are some of the most amazing people in the world.
And I'm in love with creating.
Those are some random facts about me. You can always write me if you care to know more. Although I must warn you, I tend to be long-winded in speech, entertaining some will say, but long winded. And there's a lot about me.

My Interests

Can I simply state, I have a lot of them? I love working. But only if I know I'm forwarding my purpose in some way. I like being with friends, doesn't really matter where I am with them, even if it's at a disgusting Del Taco with a bunch of crazies giving us the stare down. We make it enjoyable somehow. Like goin' to the movies, talking with awesome people at 2 o'clock in the morning, coffee, reading, dancing, gaining knowledge of any kind. I admire the people who are doing something with their lives, and that have the initiative to create change for the better.

I'd like to meet:

Beings of every kind.

Music:

Music is my air. breath breath. beat beat. I'm pretty versatile when it comes to music. The only thing I'll really reject is annoying techno and some country. Other than that, I can listen to almost anything if it's good. But I'm drawn a little more to melodic rock, indie, alternative, indie-folk, ska, and jazz/blues. Thats my EXTREMELY vague and general like and dislike bit on music.

Movies:

I love the concept outlining, the pre-production, filming, post-production, and viewing. All of it. I'm really into films with many facets to them. I'm a big fan of off-beat, weird dark comedies. I like the lighter stuff too. I probably couldn't tell you my all time favorite film, because I just don't have one. I have several. I might go out on a limb one day and try to name a few, but today's not that day. Actually, come to think of it, that day will most likely never arrive. What I don't like are films with absolutely no point and are tedious and boring not worth viewing more than five minutes of. Don't get me wrong I love wordy movies, just so long as it's done in a witty, intelligent way. Instead of having you leaning over your chair hoping for a flood or earthquake so you can leave the theater without feeling bad about purposefully wasting your money. But even if I have a small iota of interest for a movie, I'll take the time to watch it.

Television:

It comes and goes. And quite a visually hypnotic way to get nothing done. But I end up watching it anyway sometimes. The good stuff.

Books:

Fav books - Stranger In A Strange Land, A Separate Peace, Heaven Can Wait, The Hobbit, A play by Moliere entitled "The Misanthrope"(freakin' funny), Catch-22, Old Church Slavonic folklore, and one of my absolute favorite si-fi books is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and it's parallel novel Ender's Shadow. Just to name a few. Card has actually written a few of my favorite books. I love the way he gets inside my head. It blows my mind. Anyway, writing like that and anything that L.R.H. has written I will fall over for.

Heroes:

L.R.H.. My Dad. Songwriters. Artists in general, I salute you.

Where Have All the Writers Gone?

This just in-It seems that the writers of the world (which used to be everyone that could spell) have almost all together, in unison, stopped writing. Not in the sense that they stopped putting letter...
