Last stop Bahamas...next stop Europe, or maybe New Zealand, or who knows.....even Japan. Seeking adventures everyday.http://meet-a-stranger.blogspot.com/http://artbylau raparker.blogspot.com/The Kentucky Girlhood Project

My Interests

  • http://meet-a-stranger.blogspot.com/
  • http://artbylauraparker.blogspot.com/ The Kentucky Girlhood Project Food, art, writing, dancing, singing, costumes, riding in cars, history, natural remedies, storytelling, my cat Izzy, mobility, you, me, everyone. My interest is in people. Learning how to be a better fisherwoman. Asking lots of questions.

    I'd like to meet:

    My next door neighbor and everyone else down the street. Curious people. Fellow humanitarians. The eccentric. Honest people. People with passion. People with opinions. Funny people.

    Music:

    Ask me next time you see me. But David Byrne is very smart. Tom Waits is a great storyteller. I'm looking for some new quirky, intelligent music. If you think you have that, then send me a link.

    Movies:

    I love movies. Ask me the next time you see me. My favorite character in a movie is Daryl Zero in Zerro Effect. I like movies with good character development.

    Television:

    I don't watch TV, unless it's to study.

    Books:

    I like non-fiction, mostly biographies and history books.

    Heroes:

    All superheroes! Curious people. The people I meet.
