I'm pickin up what you're puttin down

About Me

I believe in miracles. But don't jerk my chain. Reach out and touch me. But mind my personal space.

My Interests

Theatre, poetry, dance of any kind, red wine, the view from my back deck in Nor Cal, yellow curry, Salmon sashimi, attempting to write something worth reading, English bulldogs named Bubba, power yoga with Geo (not afraid to live, not afraid to love!), redwood trees, hummus and pita bread, people with accents, drinking milk straight from the carton, impromptu dance parties...

I'd like to meet:

"Unless we feel connected to a pattern of meanings and a worldview larger than our own personal successes and failures, no matter how good we feel, we will still sense an emptiness in our lives." --Carl Jung - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "I don't like people who speak or think in terms of gaining anybody's confidence. If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception. The person who craves a moral blank check of that kind, has dishonest intentions, whether he admits it to himself or not." --Ayn RandI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4.. width="425" height="350" .........INDIAN THRILLER!!!! If you don't think this video is funny, there is something seriously wrong with you. Seriously.

Music:

I hate this question...but in no particular order...Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Broken Social Scene, Jack Johnson, Pepper, Paul Oakenfold, The Smashing Pumpkins, Scissor Sisters, Portishead, Blondie, 311, The Mars Volta, Sneaker Pimps, Imogen Heap, Nada Surf, Cat Power, Pink Floyd, Zero 7, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gomez, Rogue Wave, Elliott Smith, Chemical Brothers, The Decemberists, Wilco, Kaki King, Yo La Tengo, Louis XIV, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, Bloc Party, American Football...

Movies:

The Princess Bride, Zoolander, Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, Donnie Darko, Office Space, Super Troopers, French Kiss, The Labryinth, Pride and Prejudice (NOT the one with Kiera Knightley!), any of the Lord of the Rings movies, Brazil, Hackers, Goodfellas, Apocalypse Now, The Big Lebowski, Hero...I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them right now.

Television:

Right now my roommate's tivoing America's Next Top Model and House...and I like to catch CSI Vegas reruns at 1am. However, I tend to notice that the amount of TV I watch is closely related to my worth as a functioning human being in society so I try to save it for roomie bonding time.

Books:

Writers (and teachers) should be paid more...Daniel Quinn, Yann Martel, Paulo Coelho, Orson Scott Card, Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Shel Silverstein, Ayn Rand, Francesca Lia Block, Jane Austin

Heroes:

My dad...and Trent Reznor. Trent, if you're reading this you're a genius and I love you and I want to have your babies.

Those of you who know me well know that I don't ask for favors very often. Now I'm cashing in. I'm playing one of the lead roles in a production of The Skin of Our Teeth by Thorton Wilder, and I wan...
