About Me

I am in the process of becoming a legal citizen of Austin, Texas. Just a little more paperwork. Ok, just kidding. I am an artist who who is in the pursuit of happiness (other terms...looking for design work) I have a beautiful pet dog named Chloe who has been with me for about thirteen years now.
I am very close to my family and love to go home and relax in East Texas. I am practicing to become the world's leading ribbon dancer. (I am self taught)
Last, but not least, I laugh a lot, lot ,lot, lot, lot!

My Interests

Being creative. That's a pretty broad range if you think about it. I even hand stitch quilts, still haven't finished one though : )

I'd like to meet:

People who don't take themselves too seriously and people who can make themselves laugh. Don't laugh at me, laugh with me.

Music:

Troubled Hubble, Starlight mints, Kid Beyond, Talvin Singh, The Shins, Wilco, My morning Jacket. Miles Davis. Louis Armstrong. Ottis Redding. James Brown.too many to list

Movies:

The Breakfast Club. Can you describe the ruckus, uh yeah, it's me laughing.
A Bug's Life.
An Affair of Love.
All the Scary Movies, they still make me laugh out loud.
Aragon*just kidding, but this movie gave me the damn giggles for some reason or another.
of course Napoleon Dynamite.
Pretty much anything that makes me laugh. The sillier the better!
Andy Warhol Documentary. I really like documentaries, but you know I thought this one was the BOMB!!!!

Television:

Don't watch much. I do love some good pbs.
Oh, and on an opposite note....Sex and the City. The Office (British version). Greys anatomy, but I have missed all of this season.

Books:

The Easy Way to Quit Smoking (Allen Carr) *****
Don't Get Too Comfortable (David Rakoff) Excellent read....too funny!

Heroes:

My parents.
Anybody who can make a living doing what they love. It isn't really working when you do that. The best part, you can make others happy just by being content with yourself.
