About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

In a nutshell, I'm a neurotic, prone to panic attacks and have obsessive compulsive tendencies. I'm clumsy-a bull in a china shop, you might say-and seem to have trouble standing on my own two feet and walking in a straight line, yet I can effortlessly go from full shoulder stand to plow pose and back again. I'm engaged and getting married in May. I'm political-a liberal. I've recently started going to church again. I work out a lot. I read. I write. I love indie and foreign films, fresh fruit, ice cream, a nice cup of chai and a vase or gerbera daisies on the table. And kittens. I love kittens.

My Interests

music: pretty much all genres except country, independent and foreign films, literature, sports, theater, art, writing, human rights, AIDS activism, animal rights, vegetarianism, aerobics, dancing, politics, education, travelI am 52% Tortured Artist.
.. Art is significant in my life, people are scum but I have the capicity to deal with it. Give it a few more years and I will either forget about art or hate the world. Take the
Tortured Artist Test

I COULD blog about the wedding I guess, but that might be boring.  The long and the short of it is, we're married now.I could also blog about work.  But that'd be boring too, because it's bo...

home ownership reluctancy

Last night, my best friend announced to me that she and her husband had purchased a house.  She was almost kind of casual about it-like "Oh by the way Tim and I bought a house."  Like HOLY S...

a bit of a scare

Monday morning when I was showering I noticed something that pretty much every woman fears-a lump.   It was in my left armpit, about the size of a pencil eraser.  I was at the gym at th...

In my life, there are people I remember, though some have changed

I'm pretty sure it started around Thanksgiving, when I ran into a friend from high school while walking downtown with Jason and my parents. I saw him, dressed in thrift shop clothes, smoking a cigaret...

Jack Ass Poll Workers!

I have nothing against people who are past retirement age working if they want to do so.  What I do have a problem with are placing angry curmudgeons who haven't left the house since the Nixon ad...

Something's Gotta Give

 I HATE my job.  Not hate it like I hate pruney fingers in the tub and eye boogers, but HATE it like I hate hate.  I'm so sick of it. I didn't sign up for this nonstop bullshit.  N...
