Reading is sexy, and litter is not.

About Me

Play: Murder by Death "Shiola" %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%A %D%I like: long drives with company and conversation, long drives along on curvy roads with the music loud, horror [& other] films, amusement parks [rollercoastersmmyea], good food, museums, theatre/musical theatre [participating geek indeed], photography [I'll show you what I can do when I get another manual SLR], musics, intelligence, antiquing, collecting antique bibles, being elsewhere for the sake of being elsewhere, tact, being politically aware, language & communication (I've studied Spanish & American Sign Language, which I'd like to develop further, but I'd also like to tackle Mandarin, Italian, and German someday as well), psychology & sociology, hiking! & other outdoor activities, scenic views [-eventually I'll have a motorcycle and spend far too much time doing that..], spontaneous road trips [soo deprived of this and feeling the ache], the arts- including visual such as photography, pottery, stained glass,. and late-night diner visits with late-night company.
lately I've been taking advantage of the modeling (fetish, art, figure, /..) opportunities presented to me which allow me to TRAVEL!!*! -this makes me happy (though at times stressful and too busy and too singularly-focused), but I'm hoping to soon have a credit card which will allow me rent cars to take road trips-yay!, as lately I just fly into cities where I have enough paid work to be worth it./*i like when people leave comments about me.*
...I have solid, real friends at this point, and though I welcome more, I like to keep track of my inner-circle on this profile /as opposed to networking. So if you want to make contact, DO message [& if you want, add myspace.com/mara3- my social networking profile]; I more-than-likely won't initiate it, and you'll probably end up added here after a couple of messages anyway.
