Appearances are deliberately deceptive!

About Me

loud, silly, strange...smarter than you.

My Interests

Shakespearean theater, acting, sculpting in metal and clay (but not at the same time), welding, painting, reading romance novels, singing in the shower, rock climbing, crocheting, knitting, reupholstering furniture, Barbie dolls...bowling, board games...bar-room trivia games...I'm learning how to quilt...so expect some really lame-O potholders for Christmas people...

I'd like to meet:

Other people that don't take themselves too seriously...enjoy one or more of the things that I enjoy...and ideally, think that they can beat me playing at least one (not chess) board game...

Music:

DISCO...Country...any band that my friends play in: West Beverly, Not My Ritchie, Shadows Fall, Light is the Language, Killswitch Engage, Love Equals Death, Greg Wood, Trainwreck, All That Remains (Jeanne Rocks!!).

Movies:

Amelie, Pride and Prejudice (either version), Singin in the Rain, the Chipmunk Adventure, Muriel's Wedding, and any Muppet movie. The Perils of Pauline.

Television:

I don't have cable. I love Jem and the Holograms...yippe it's out of video...and just as silly as I remembered it to be.

Books:

mostly romance novels...I read way too fast...or anything by Chuck Palahnuik, Candace Bushnell, Leora Tanenbaum..."Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is by far my favorite book of all time...you should read it...you'd like it too...

Heroes:

Shouldn't this category be entitled Heroines: My mommy, Peg (my former Boss), Ma (my step-grandmother), both of my sisters for different reasons.

My Blog

a bit of truth...

Some photographer approached me in the bank, and asked me to pose for him.  It was totally awkward, and the pictures reflect it.  I've always thought that I look better in person, because wh...

triumphant toothaches

it's not quite the coma you promised, but damn it's a bitch...slicing my tongue with every joyous word I speak...at a time when it is impossible for me to keep silent...this moment will forever be sha...

delayed

the way that things have of just dragging on, when all you want is the end...delayed...sitting, waiting, trying not to give false hope...trying not to have false hope...delayed...having to wait to say...

Ahead...

If you'd told me a year ago, what you told me a day ago, how happy I would've been then...and maybe breaking my heart did make me stronger...but did I really need the strength...I begin to think this ...

Happy

Today they will tell me, Happy...and today I finally am...while there is no perfection, there is certainly happy...if you'd told me a year and more ago, that everything would work out so well...I'd've...

The Price of Love:

I will happily buy your love...in Pounds Sterling...to be shipped upon receipt of payment...there is no price too high for the kiss you gave...a kiss I have waited two years for...there is some truth,...

Everything is nothing.

You are in everything...every sign I pass, and every aisle I walk...because you are in nothing...or you will be soon...nothing to me...I wonder about the fairness of it all, and what it all was for......

reality on a first date with fantasy

I went on a first date with reality,  just the kind of alpha-male asshole I'd fall for...but it wasn't really reality we were talking about...we were talking about his reality...and the fact that...

Back on the Wagon...

It had to end...it always does...and, so, as the last can crunches into the garbage bag of recycling...no longer littering my house...it had to end...I can only lie to myself for so long...but I can't...

Dangerous!

It is insidious, the way that this idea has invaded me today...we were driving...to yet another gift giving occasion...chatting about topics of personal interest to me...when it comes up...the changes...
