it's cold out there, but i'm telling you..

About Me

howdy. i'll be the first one to tell you that i'm a bitch. sometimes it's not intentional, it's just the way i am. i'm a waitress at a little place called the South Windsor Restaurant (maybe you've heard of us...? probably not.) sometimes it's nice not knowing if i'm gonna come out with five or fifty dollars. it keeps the days interesting. i like organic food and arguing. fenway park is utopia. i always use two coffee stirrers. i hate talking on the phone - in person is the only way to really communicate. i wish i had a voice like emmylou harris or stevie nicks (isn't there some kind of surgery for that...?) i am hopelessly addicted to starbucks products, cigarettes and baseball year-round. i hate belts, green apple flavouring, underwear, and foxwoods casino commercials. i would absolutely love to be a cross-country truck driver and to be barefoot all the time. i have a million stories just waiting to amuse you. i'm irrational, quirky, creative, i take stupid risks, i do things in ways that people can't understand, i'm loyal, opinionated, sarcastic, i can't even follow mapquest directions without getting lost (the first FEW times i drive somewhere new), i'll give you anything i have... if that sounds like something you can deal with...aim: KicKinTauRuS

My Interests

observing the world around me. laying back and just looking up at the stars. listening to music that fits my current state of mind perfectly. pair that with driving on a scenic road (or even the highway) and there's nowhere else i'd rather be. little kicks of motivation, laundry, self-expression in the form of writing and creating art, doing little things to keep myself happy, like keeping my AC on while the windows are down, frappucinos from Valero, and any words exchanged with reffinej.

I'd like to meet:

let's just say, the 2006 red sox starting nine and jay gibbons, in that order. someone who can slowly explain the offsides rule in hockey to me. someone else that can drink thickened hotdog water, raw egg substitute or eight ounces of generic chocolate syrup and not throw up. people who were hippies back in the 60s.the person who designed the chair that's shaped like a hand. wilford brimley - he makes me want to have diabetes just so Liberty Medical could have my back. charles bukowski - but he's dead.

Music:

_____________________________ it's possible for me to listen to everything..i just go through phases..some longer than others. a shortened insight into my musical world... bright eyes, coheed&cambria, dave matthews band, incubus, smashing pumpkins, rilo kiley, say anything, led zeppelin, pink floyd, janis joplin, the white stripes, dashboard confessional, creedence clearwater revival, the doors, donovan, the postal service, jefferson airplane, the decemberists, bruce springsteen, the grateful dead, hawthorne heights, jackson browne, lynyrd skynyrd, jimi hendrix, r.e.m., sublime, fall out boy, panic! at the disco, the good life, fleetwood mac, neva dinova, two gallants, death cab for cutie, the who, j. geils band, stone temple pilots, system of a down, AC/DC... i'm always looking to experience bands i've never heard of.. so any music you feel is good enough to share with another person...send it ovah here.

Movies:

my DVD collection is limited to mostly bargain bin B movies...most are from the walmart $5.50 box..there are some with awards, though. ones that i will always be able to watch over and over again (and quote to a T) include: freddy got fingered, anchorman, american beauty, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, what dreams may come, fear and loathing in las vegas, ocean's eleven, death to smoochy..

Television:

"Hey, what are ya doing in my scuba gear? Look, I found a treasure. That's a soap on a rope! Shhhhhhhhhh, I'm pretending it's a treasure!""Wow... it's a Le Baron. Bet your boots it's a Le Baron. Good car. Convertible.""And I don't like it! I don't like the putdowns."see??? :)

Books:

Charles Bukowski will always be my favorite writer and has never disappointed me with his work. Betty Smith's "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn", Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World, Amanda Davis's "Wonder When You'll Miss Me". the Hartford Courant. as of now, i'm reading "on the road" by jack kerouac, and "pulp" by charles bukowski.

Heroes:

bukowski, for living the lifestyle that i envy. truck drivers. anyone over the age of eighty. my mother.
