About Me

I've got plans. I need affection. I'm human.
Shitty photographer, junk store stylist, secret make-up artist hairdresser hero.
One part Mr Dress-Up, one part Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, two parts liquid, four parts wierdo.
I will love my true friends to the core until the day I die and beyond.
And it may not show but I'm still growing.

My Interests

my family and friends are a given, some people are just beyond self-explanatory.
creating something out of nothing; PERFORMANCE, THEATRE AND FILM, DANCING, MUSIC!!! these are all IN MY BLOOD and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it!!!
Montreal Fringe, les arts plastiques; travelling; swimming, yoga, biking, skating, juggling, death defying acts of physical unthinking; good food and drink; lovely parties; concerts and shows of all kinds; Hallowe'en whenever you want; perversion of most kinds; night time renegade missions; roofhopping; tam tams; sleep, eat, rehearsal, sleep, eat, rehearsal; staying up past sunrise talking, snuggling, and then waking up slowly to cozy morning kisses while we spoon...
But above all: being true to myself and learning to trust time.
And DANCEPARTIES! Many many danceparties!!!

Mozart, Sean Penn, Albert Finney and Rosa Parks

Music:

Is life. Piano is my brain. Bass is my mood. Guitar is my cocoon. Song is my wings. Drums and those who play them are the rib. Likembé is my fingers and toes. Rainmakers are my hair. Djembés are my heartbeat. A theramin is my sinuses. Turntables are my sense of humour. Horns are my style. The strings are my dance. My imagination thrives on music, constantly.

Until we meet again, Halifax!

So I spent a week away from home to be in Halifax for the Atlantic Fringe, with the Stag Nation boys. They'd already been there for a week, so I took a road trip with Alain's friend Phil who...

Moment for an exWhat?

Here's food for thought: I don't think you and I have ever had a ''normal'' conversation. Sure, we've talked about ''normal'' stuff, but it doesn't count because we're always taking it out of context....

Je suis un poisson-cloune

Right now I'm killing some time before I go to bed. I do this nerd thing every night where I come online and check my e-mail and messages before the day is done, and send a few obscene/loving comments...
