I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hmm...I'm a spelling and grammar snob. I've recently realized I have an affection for owls. I can't pass up a road trip. I'm constantly on the lookout for more graphic T's. I have the most random taste in music. I miss my cat 108 miles away. When I have too much vodka I tend to think I'm an awesome singer and dancer. Italy and Australia are at the top of my 'to visit' list. Australian accents are hot. I'm not above pulling a pair of pants from the hamper to wear another day. Knee socks are sexy. Comfort over image. I'm a stoic, Zen Buddhist-in-training. Karma's a bitch. An idealistic realist. An aspiring world traveller. An aspiring polyglot. An aspiring film elitist. Indie movies are the future of cinema. I hate the term "Feel good movie of the year."I want to learn the piano. I can't get enough to read. I can't wait to get out of this place. Children make me cringe. I want to swim with dolphins. Poetry is largely overanalyzed. I want to kick your ass at chess. I spend too much damn money on Starbucks. I hate getting artist's block. I hoard museum pamphlets. I'll unknowingly be making the same expression I'm drawing on a character.One day I'll decide to clean out underneath my bed. Probably my biggest tangible fear is spiders. There's such a thing as Fate.I have scars on both knees.I like to drive my car through rain puddles. Feel free to drop me a line, friends and strangers alike. Welcome one and all. http://photophanatic.deviantart.com/
P.S. NOTICE that it DOES NOT say that I am here for dating. If I was interested in dating, it would say so. So if that's what you want, DON'T BOTHER with me. I don't find dates over the internet.

Your inner classic movie diva is: Greta
Garbo
This enigmatic screen legend is known for her
unparalleled beauty and mysterious nature.
Never married, and often reclusive, she
enjoyed private time to herself and never
played the Hollywood game, preferring instead
to create a meaningful private life that was
out of the limelight. She enjoyed a simple
life of waking up early, being outdoors
often, and eating healthy food.
"There are some who want to get married and
others who don't. I have never had an impulse
to go to the altar. I am a difficult person
to lead."
-- Greta Garbo
What classic movie diva are you?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone as weird as me. And their cats.

My Blog

No bed of roses, but I never mind new experiences.

Got back from NorCal Sunday. Of course I left Wednesday with only a vague idea of how to survive for the next 4 days, and that bit me in the butt. My dear 'ol friend/roommate is not the camping enthus...

Ode to my newfound formats

I used to consider myself a straight shooter in regards to my photo aesthetic. Abnormalities annoyed the hell out of me, and I know I threw away less-than-perfect negs and blurred shots from my digita...

To the asshole spammer who broke into my account...
