About Me

I am not like other women, brutally honest (sometimes to the point that it might hurt a little,) completely black and white, if I was a shape I would be a square, very definative (like the word fuck) and not down with the get down; I have a dry, dark humor, I love sarcasm and clever people...despise surfacy and superficial people, catty girls, scary-mary's, hookers, hipsters, and randoms; despite my intensity..I cry often, I have vivid dreams and I contemplate most everything; I look for things that most people don't see...deeper, darker, lower; I am passionate, hopeful, longing, restless, searching, waiting; I love laughing, creativity and simplicity; I need music, inspiration, good food, connection, environment, loyalty and total surrender. I die often, I have lived a thousand lives.


theme song of the moment:

santa claus is back in town - elvis

If it's possible for a Christmas song to be sexy, this one takes the cake. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and it just makes me imagine dancing up on the jukebux. So hot...perfect for a cold night!
