always the play/never the thing.

About Me

I'm not one of those girls that went wild too soon and ruined it for the rest. I'm going through my own renaissance era and learning to be a risk taker. Eating ice cream in the afternoon on the art museum steps, enjoying the sweetness that good company brings. Laughing loudly at an inside joke, saying something complex in a simple way. Being naked as the news, you seeing me naked but me not knowing that you are watching. Words are beautiful and I love to hear them roll effortlessly off of the poet's tongue, leap sweetly off of the page. I'm always in the middle of a book I don't want to put down. I love the hardness of a passionate man and the softness of a passionate woman. Tell me about your life in art, I believe it's the same. I smile when I'm sincere and look away when I lie. Substance and style can exist in harmony, if not compromised by pretention. Music is all colors at once, the voice of passion, the one true god. Animals are perfect. I write, sing and paint my life...my will purges night and let's the stars get inside my eyes. Don't be surprised if I whisper "think of me as a place" into your ear then disappear without a sound."San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one" Oil 48"/36" by Raul Pizarro http://www.raulpizarro.com http://www.myspace.com/bocadedios

My Interests

You are the blue fox! A total perfectionist and a true born leader. You can never resist a challenge! Your Soul Mate is the Yellow Trout and you loathe the Indigo Beaver.


Red Jaguar

Silver and Red Wolf
Ocre and Gray Dolphin
Yellow Trout
Tan Giraffe
ANIMOLOGY: What Animal Are You?Petting zoos, quantum physics, self-improvement posters, inner city murals, sleeping in, sleeping horses, white wine colored clearings, the null experience of the mall on a weekday, extended makeout sessions, thrift shopping with boys, dancing and singing with girls, watching old black and white foreign films with a sunday hangover, hello kitty, modeling shoots, open mic nights, personal poetry reads and dead alarm clocks.

I'd like to meet:

I want to sing karaoke with Bill Murray. I want to make nasty drunken love to a beautiful being that's a cross between Vincent Gallo and Chloe Sevigny... Also: Boys with some semblance of emotional intelligence and a gift for the written word. Bookwormish girls that turn into tigresses after dark. Someone who makes me feel insane when they get in my bed. Absolutely no boys with long white t-shirts or new slang. Absolutely no girls that think Gwen Stefani can sing or that Paris Hilton is hot. Writers, musicians, artists and natural freaks welcomed, just be real.

Music:

Everything from Angelic Upstarts to Zoogz Rift. In between you'll find stacks of records by Abba, Kate Bush, Cat Power, Devo, Eels, Ella Fitzgerald, Guided by Voices, High Llamas, Iggy Pop, Jello Biafra, Killers, Low, Modest Mouse, Laura Nyro, O'Jays, P.J. Harvey, Questlove, Ramones, Suicide, Talking Heads, Underworld, Violent Femmes, Wire, X, Yes, Zapp & Roger and oh so many more.

Movies:

Right now I'm really into Italian horror, old black & white french and David Lynch films. My all-time faves are: Amelie, Brown Bunny, Eyes Wide Shut and Stealing Beauty.

Television:

Only if it's on vinyl or cd.

Books:

I'm a hot librarian. I always seem to have a spread-eagled book in front of me. Some of my favorite writers are also good friends, they don't even have whole books yet but they will have many some day:) I'm gonna throw a few names of my faves your way, catch and read everything they have written: Sylvia Plath~Carson McCullers~Flannery O'Connor~Denis Johnson~William Burroughs~Emily Dickinson~Lewis Carroll~Dylan Thomas~Osamu Dazai~Louis Ferdinand Céline~William Crawford~Albert Camus~Sober Jake Jackoff~Jerry Stahl~Hermann Hesse~Jeffrey Eugenides~Will Self~Jack Kerouac~Mark Twain~Emile Zola~And a good and plenty more:)

Heroes:

My daddy and Jim Henson, maybe Mabel Mercer too.
