I get your point, but you're WRONG! - Sarah

About Me

Growing up: My mom had a thing for plastic. On the furniture, runners on the floor... Did I mention this was the 70's?

College: My first exposure to the little-known art of toilet papering! My first collaborative project? Gift wrapping a car. At midnight.

Beer: Beer is beer is beer. Especially when it's wrapped in a brown label with the word "BEER" printed on it. AT $1.39 a six pack - who was I to complain?

Getting high: Yes, I inhaled and suddenly the Weather Channel was ..fascinating..! What was I talking about?

Sex: Men are beautiful. Women are beautiful. Fat, skinny, tall, short, brown, pink... Whatever! I am a hang-up free zone.

Beauty is all in the eye of the beholder, period.

Being authentic: Ultimately, the only standards and values I have to live up to are mine. Judge me all you want, I don't care. I'm not living my life to please anyone but me.

Politics: Could we start again please?

Writing: I love it, and it continually surprises me.

Spirituality: My foundation, my source, my inspiration, my frustration. Everything I am stems from The Source of All Things.

My Interests

There are so many things, and so little time! I enjoy slash fiction mainly in the Buffy/Angel verses, World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons (geeky me!) music, making jewelry, throwing pottery, mandalas, and writing.

Environmental/social issues, alternative housing & building, alternative/holistic health, spirituality & living consciously, tantra as a world view.

I'd like to meet:

IN-terest-ING MON-sters, who lead IN-terest-ING LI-ves! Yes, I grew up on Bugs Bunny & Looney Toons!

Seriously though, I'm a real person, with real feelings, and I want to meet the same. If you dream, love, laugh, wonder, sweat the small stuff or the big stuff and want to join me on my journey, I want to meet you.

If you send me a friend request, please drop me a line and tell me why you'd like me to add you. If your profile is "friends-only", you know I can't read it, so please introduce yourself with a proper e-mail.

Music:

I will forever love the music of the 70's: Bowie, KISS, Judas Priest, Zeppelin, Elton John, Styx, Journey, and 80's heavy metal: Queensryche, Night Ranger, Dokken, Motley Crue, Warrant, Poison...

Love heavy, sexy, hip-grinding guitars!

I actually do like music made in this decade, my favorites are on my page, check them out!

I love melodic music, hard or soft, not overly fond of pop - although I do like to dance. Anyway you slice it, gangsta rap just ain't my thing.

Movies:

Dogville, Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Sunset Boulevard, Star Wars, Hammer Classics, Horror movies with Vincent Price, Event Horizon, Pitch Black, Body Double, Suspiria, movies that are total mind-fucks ala Memento.

I LOVE cheesy horror films with bad acting! Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was such a joy to watch in it's day! In MST3k tradition, I crack myself up to bad horror & sci-fi movies whenever I get the chance.

I love movies in general, I'll watch pretty much anything except war pictures & love stories (unless the love story includes the words "Wuv, twue wuv...")



A touching look at the reality of making it big, quickly. I urge everyone to see it!

Television:

Favorites right now: TORCHWOOD!!!! and (new) Dr. Who. (Although I admit that I prefer the Doctor from season one.) I'm also quite fond of Supernatural, Bones, and House.

When I remember I watch Nip/Tuck, Dexter, and Masters of Horror


I also watch my share of reality tv, cause watching people who will do anything to be on television, is fascinating.

Books:

Some authors I like are RA Salvatore, Laurel K. Hamilton, Clive Barker, Preston & Childs, Stephen King, Sherri S. Tepper, Marion Zimmer Bradely, Robert Heinlein, Anne Rice, Paul Ferrini, SARK...

I read a lot. Recently slash fiction which is totally addictive. My fav ships: Xander/Spike/Angel.

Audiobooks are extremely convenient, I can listen to them and do just about anything. The last book I listened to was The Ruins by Scott Smith. The creep-factor of the book outweighs the movie by tons! Really, really good book.

Interwoven in all the above are books on spirituality, and self-growth/evolution.

Heroes:

um... Batman, Daredevil, Swamp Thing, and (the original)Ghost Rider!

Oh, you mean real life? Katherine Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Reeve.
