Sometimes Life needs a good swift kick in the gonads

About Me

I'm in school. I was meant to be an art teacher, however, how things are going, there wont be an art program anymore.....So now I'm an Elementary Ed. major. Well to keep things updated, I'm changing my major back to Art. I live in Eugene OR, wishing I was in Juneau.. but not really... I daydream a lot.. I read too much.....I catch myself staring at walls, my apartment looks like Salvadore Dali's dream (i dont mean messy and I should probably keep this PG), and I don't belong anywhere except maybe at a garage sale looking at old books and music. I like to think of myself as being intelligent.. but I've known to be wrong. I collect tattoos (not a lot, just a few-whatever i can get out of my brother) and art. I'm a total MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE girl. What I consider bliss is a cup of joe in one hand, an American Spirit in the other, and no one squaking at me. Oh and I love to laugh...Im a little sarcastic. I like tacos, and non-bohemian lifestyles (had to let it go). god this sounds cheezy, these things always do. Oh, I'm also now dating the most rock-awesome man I've ever known. His name is Ken and we live together with my daughter and his 120 gal. fish tank. He can make me roar out laughing until I cry in a quiet art gallery, so I know he's the one for me.

My Interests

Weaving on a tableloom, crocheting, writing, drawing, making ceramics, reading, Tai Chi, playing all types of games, learning about art, relief printmaking (lino), silk-screening (my new ultimate favorite hobbie.) I'm a big movie buff, playing with my beautiful daughter, eating tacos, avoiding drama, daydreaming, drawing naked people, and making fun of people less fortunate than myself. Oh, and cooking.mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" src="http://www.arcadecabin.com/tempswf/bigredbutton" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" enableJavaScript="false" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

Sometimes life needs a kick in the gonads
