About Me

LOVE IS LIKE A BOTTLE OF GIN:It makes you blind, it does you in It makes you think you're pretty tough It makes you prone to crime and sin It makes you say things off the cuff It's very small and made of glass and grossly over-advertised It turns a genius into an ass and makes a fool think he is wise It could make you regret your birth or turn cartwheels in your best suit It costs a lot more than it's worth and yet there is no substitute They keep it on a higher shelf the older and more pure it grows It has no color in itself but it can make you see rainbows You can find it on the Bowery or you can find it at Elaine's It makes your words more flowery It makes the sun shine, makes it rain You just get out what they put in and they never put in enough Love is like a bottle of gin but a bottle of gin is not like love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTHIS YEAR:I broke free on a saturday morning. I put the pedal to the floor. headed north on mills avenue, and listened to the engine roar.my broken house behind me and good things ahead, a girl named cathy wants a little of my time. six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking, ahhh listen to the engine whine.I am going to make it through this year if it kills me. I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.I played video games in a drunken haze I was seventeen years young. hurt my knuckles punching the machines the taste of scotch rich on my tongue.and then cathy showed up and we hung out. trading swigs from the bottle all bitter and clean locking eyes, holding hands, twin high maintenance machines.I am going to make it through this year if it kills me. I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.I drove home in the california dusk. I could feel the alcohol inside of me. Home,picture the look on my stepfather's face, ready for the bad things to come.I downshifted as I pulled into the driveway. the motor screaming out stuck in second gear. the scene ends badly as you might imagine, in a cavalcade of anger and fear.there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year.I am going to make it through this year if it kills me. I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.

My Interests

Well, I'm into many kinds of visual art - Glass, photography, drawing, jewelry, etc. I love to hammer silver, I am teaching myself (poorly) to play the guitar. I love to sing, tho' I am mostly too shy to really let it rip. I have a big ol' love in my heart for Yellowstone National Park because it is the most amazing place I have ever been in my life. I like forensics shows (real ones), and shows that teach me about the human body & nature. I have a wealth of useless knowledge stored in my brain; I feel like I'd do well on a gameshow. *sigh* I smoke too much. I LOVE to swim and lay in the sunshine, and I love to take road trips with good friends, singing at the top of our lungs to the stereo. Damn, that's fun. I'm a dog person, but I have a cat. I love horror movies, but I don't love to kill people. (Although, I know a few people... ) I use the word 'retarded' way too much. I also love goofy movies like Cannibal! The Musical. I forget EVERYTHING all the time... It's really gotten out of hand. My room is always a complete disaster area. I like to pretend that I'm a rock star when i'm alone in the car or in the house with the music turned up loud. Sleep is one of my favourite things in the world. OH, YEAH, AND PINUP / VARGA GIRLS!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX We speak in the store I'm a sensitive bore And you're markedly more And I'm oozing supriseBut it's late in the day And you're well on your way What was golden went gray And I'm suddenly shyAnd the gathering floozies Afford to be choosy And all sneezing darkly In the dimming divideAnd I have read the right book To interpret your look You were knocking me down With the palm of your eyeThis was unlike the story It was written to be I was riding its back When it used to ride meAnd we were galloping manic To the mouth of the source We were swallowing panic In the face of its forceAnd I was blue I was blue and unwell Made me bolt like a horseNow it's done Watch it go You've changed some Water ruin from the snowAm I so dear Do I run rare You've changed some Peach, plum, pear

Burnout

Okay, so I'm rapidly combusting as I burn through this hellishly strange past week of work... A seemingly endless and torturous week, at that. The mind, she can only take so much, as many of you know ...
