About Me


About me:
I'm a flower child trapped in a not-so-flower-child world...well, more or less.... I value nature over corporation, appreciate the rain, yet respect the sun, I see the importance of art and expression no matter what the venue, I look for rainbows every chance I get, and have recently become truly addicted to the scent of a forest right after a good cleansing thunderstorm. Lots of people tell me I'm a hippie born out of time. I love the peacefulness, oneness, personal freedom, and beauty of expression represented by that culture. Of course, I like my digital camera, my cell phone and my internet.... so I'm torn... or is it just the traditionalist making her way thru the now?
I love flowers, houseplants, rocks, animals, music, weather, holidays, karaoke, meeting people.... I am a member of the American Legion Auxillary, and I enjoy spending time at the post.... I am a packrat.... I hate the end of summer, simply because I know what's next.... I feel much older than I am sometimes... I am curious and intrigued by the occult and mysticism.... I have a ton of pets...I collect all sorts of stuff...and I wish I went out more, but I'm usually working or broke.... I stay at home a lot, sometimes so much so that I think I could qualify as antisocial, but when it comes down to brass tacks, I'm unequivocally 'park, and I love it... My husband is a complete and utter prince to put up with me..... I live with a bunny, a couple of sulcata tortoises a few aquatic turtles & some goldfish, and they are all great pets, although each one is fairly insane in its own right. And I talk to every last one of them too. Have some eccentricity. It flows freely around here.
I like the way I see things, and I am in the process of beginning to take photos professionally. I do have some pieces of my work available for purchase:
Visit my online art gallery
I also just opened a cafepress store:
Come visit TortoiseTown Clothing!
Besides my passion for photography, I have my hands in all sorts of things.... I do landscape design and maintenance work, I dabble in web design, and I am webmistress for a private investigation company, and I also help out some of the bands here on myspace from time to time.
Freelance freelancer....or something! (My Mother used to refer to me as the "Whirling Dervish"....)

I'd like to meet:

Everyone. As long as they don't suck.

Regarding friend requests: You're an absolute no-go unless you message me and prove to me that you really exist. I don't add random people anymore, since mypace's inundation of spam accounts makes me puke.

Music:

I like an ecclectic mix of great artists from all genres. Its important to me to not place limits on things like this. Music is a type of artistic expression, and to denounce any of it would be almost prejudicial. If I don't like a certain song, that's one thing, but to exclude a genre or artist all together seems shallow and close-minded to me.

But, some favorites of mine are:
KT Tunstall
Janis Joplin
the White Stripes
Bob Dylan
the Reverend Horton Heat
Monster Magnet
anything Mike Patton touches (Faith No More, Fantomas, Peeping Tom, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Lovage....)
Lyrics Born
Primus
Sonya Kitchell
King Gordy

Either that, or play it and I will tell you if it sucks...

Movies:



I like Lynch, Tarantino, Rodriguez, Linklater....and more. James Woods, Bruce Dern, Christian Bale...and more. Uma Thurman, Milla Jovovich, Diane Lane.... and more and more and more.....

Recent flicks I have really liked: Hard Candy, Crank, Over the Hedge, Black Dahlia, Bobby, 300, Deja Vu.

All-time favorite flicks: Diggstown, Duel, Indian Summer, Supersize Me, True Believer, Dirty Pictures, Lost Highway, Wild at Heart, Endless Summer 2, Empire Records, A Dirty Shame, Deathproof, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, PCU, Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride, Escape to Canada, The Trailer Park Boys Movie, among many others...

Television:

I like Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, the Shield, Trailer Park Boys , Weeds, House M.D., Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me, Twin Peaks, On the Air, ATHF, Family Guy, Beavis & Butthead, the Simpsons, Daria.... the Weather Channel, HGTV, Animal Planet......Justice, Dexter....and my guiltiest of television pleasures.... the trainwreck that is the Real World. or Road Rules. or the Challenges. Oh, my how I love me some of that.... trainwreck du jour.... Once in a great while, I can be persuaded to watch really, REALLY mindless drivel, like third wheel, elimidate, street smarts, and horrible, horrible things like that, but only in the company of extremely esteemed individuals, and only in the most fitting of situations, of course.

Books:

Yes. I love how-to books and reference materials. Always wanting to learn. I prefer this to reading stories.

In addition to everything else, I have always taken a rather unhealthy interest in weather..... it is both the most beautiful and the most destructive entity I have ever experienced, and it governs so much of our lives.....I am fascinated by it.... I probably should have been a meteorologist.... one of my favorite TV channels is the Weather Channel....

Heroes:

People pretty much suck, but every once in a while you will find the Gem in the Dirt. The Gems are my Heroes, Family and Friends. The best way to surround yourself with gems is to meet as many people as possible...although sometimes it means wallowing in the Mud....all things considered, its a relatively small Price to pay if you wind up with a Diamond.

Everyone has it within themselves to be a hero; its just whether or not you choose to act on your potential.
