I like to move - shimmy, shiver, slink - whatevah. Soooo Bellydancing: cabaret (Egyptian and American), fusion, gothic, ATS and gypsy. Love to burn and play with fire and throwing that in with the dance is even better. Fire: fans, fingers, toches, staff, eating, and trails (if you're nice). Show me something with scales and I'm a happy girl - snakes are best, especially boids and colubrids. Any kind of art will also hold my interest - any creative endeavor is one well spent so illustration, painting, drawing, sketching, body mod, henna. Things that go BUMP in the nite. Ancient Japanese culture and the niceties it spawned. Americana and roadtrips, and yeah, in the bad tacky tasteless way. The environment and nature - hiking, curling up under a shady tree (or climbing it), and being around critters. Teaching, especially about science and/or the environment and inquiry based learning. Vegetarian yumminess. The Adventurers Club (my favorite getaway). Hack n slash sewing (especially costumes), DIY, crochet and making and splicing and and and....Oh, and shiney/spikey/slicey things are nice too!
I'd like to meet:
Interesting, open-minded people. If you wanna dance, or share art, I'm game. Deviants are good too. Oh, and zombies.
Music:
See interests above; is it sound? Can I move to it? Sold. But I do have an alarmingly eclectic taste in tunes. Near and dear to my heart are the Cure, most gothic/industrial, some ska and swing, KMFDM, Bauhaus, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Apoptygma Berzerk, New Order, Joy Division, Greenday, Offspring, die Toten Hosen, Blink 182, Jay Z, Nelly, DMX, Cake, Red House Painters, Prodigy, Orbital, Ramstein, Wumpscut, Outkast, Weezer, Jude, Counting Crows, Love Spit Love, Duran Duran, The Killers, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, David Bowie, Billy Idol, NIN, Rancid, Tori Amos, Matthew Sweet, Depeche Mode, Rabbit in the Moon, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Cocteau Twins, The The, Morphine, And One, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry, They Might Be Giants, Chris Isaak, VNV Nation, Oingo Boingo, Flesh for Lulu, Rob Zombie and the Bravery. Also Hakim, Pentaphobe, Tarkan, Natascha Atlas and Punjabi MC - I loves me some arabic world techno and Bollywood stylings too.
Movies:
I'm a sucker for just about any Vincent Price film and the remakes of the old Castle films. So horror films are good, and my geekiness allows for anime and movie versions of comic films (especially Vertigo titles). Bad 80s films, too. The Crow, Strictly Ballroom, 28 Days Later, Sin City, American Psycho, Desperado, A Clockwork Orange, The Weatherwoman, Attack the Gas Station, Titus, Richard III, The Transporter, Ghost Ship (hahahaha), Psycho, Jawbreaker, Better Luck Tommorrow, Heathers, Snatch, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Labyrinth, Lacho Drom, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, anything Lynch.
Television:
not much, but history, Twin Peaks, Invader Zim and Adult Swim when applicable
Books:
The Tale of Genji and the Pillowbook, The Inferno, Heart of Darkness, Snakebite Survivor's Club, The Stranger, Naked Lunch, nature and science, true crime and really anything historical nonfiction on war, plague, disease or death. I adore comics too (wolverine, lenore, johnny the homicidal maniac, sandman, etc). Too many to list, really.
