About Me

I am hopelessly nostalgic for my childhood, thanks to my wonderful family it was the happiest time in my life. I think I may be shy, but I think that people think that I am being mean, I am just kind of scared to talk to them. I believe that you should write letters as often as you can; getting something in the letter box is easily the best feeling in the world. I think you should perform home surgery and sew things for yourself. I have the start of a great reference library, even though I move on a regular basis. I can't spell, but I a pretty good at trivia. I am big into graf even though I don't get up as often as I should. I am a big fan of going to a bar and never having a cocktail, but watching everyone else getting a little sloppy. I want to tour the world by boat and train, and want someone who can show me around it. I was recently referred to as the snake across town by one of my exes, I found it to one of the best compliments I've ever received. I think that living in the city is good for you, but you should always have an excuse to visit someone that lives in the country because sometimes I forget that there is a good life out there too. I think that traveling by train is the most fun, it reminds me that there are pretty little towns and some interesting people that I don't normally realize are there. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I realize that I am somewhat fickle, but these things I really love...my family, my dog, graf and being a tourist where ever I am. And through these things I realized that true love lasts a lifetime.

I'd like to meet:

People with tattoos that they are embarrassed of, but love to show off; someone that can camp like they were raised by wolves; people that think that being nice is not oldfashioned and a waste of time; people that have great stories to tell and want to tell them to me; people who know anything about the danish modern design; people who can teach me something so that I may feel superior the next time it comes up; people who can spot bad art and call it bullshit; and people that have great senses of humor, about themselves especially (I myself and a bit ridiculous).

Music:

Stevie Wonder, All, Damien Rice, Nancy Sinatra, Zero 7, Outkast, Curtis Mayfield, Dolly Parton, Badley Drawn Boy, Bill Whiters, Boss Hog, Snow Patrol, Lisa Germano, Journey, X-ray Specs, Sly & the Family Stone, Gomez and pretty much anything on the Stax label

Movies:

Money Pit, Love Actually, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Wedding Singer, Garden State, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, Modern Romance, They Live, Brazil, Heavenly Creatures, Office Space, Chasing Amy(because i love comic books and because deep down i am a weepy girl), Wet Hot American Summer, Far From Heaven, The Tao of Steve

Television:

Rick's Steves, Undeclared, Friday the 13th: the series, anything on HGTV

Books:

Graffito, Eloise, The Real Frank Zappa Book, A Light in the Attic, The Yoga of Discipline, The Omnivore's Dilemma, A Dictionary of Symptoms, The Art of Getting Over, The Offical Preppy Handbook, Banksy's book trio

Heroes:

I realize that I have quite a few...My Mom & Dad are my biggest heros cause they kind of rock, my friend Marion cause she is the sweetest and most fun, my roommate Kat cause she has never ceased to be the life of the party even when she isn't trying, Georgia O'Keefe cause she didn't get married until she wanted to, and my friend Bob cause he always was fun to paint with and made me laugh the entire time.

sadly i cannot conjure up remorse or pride for this year, and i have come to the conclusion that for the most part this is lucky. i am not in a dramatic upswing or downward decline in emotion, s...
