i think i can. a declarative statement- never a question. love is a verb- deeds not words. ironic from a writer, no? what's more is i am just no good at these ABOUT ME things. i'm just not all that on paper- , i'm one of those you have to BE THERE kind of folks.but since WE'RE HERE... think Tinkerbell from the wrong side of the tracks, a spicy blonde who made over to the other side of the tracks to see for herself that it ain't all that...i'm driven by wanting to know and see and feel and make it through to the other side. to really dig in a breakdown, what makes folks tick...how do the secrets manifest themselves and why do we all have them? are they different depending on the audience? how is that POV changes things? who are you when the lights are turned out and your tools are taken away?i come from a family of super loving, fun goood-hearted people who eat processed food and just aren't interested in changing a lot of things because it's enough for them to be alive and able to enjoy each other for one more day. i've always been the 2 headed sheep- the mango that fell from the apple tree. i've had more adventures than i could write about (but i'm gonna try- even though i keep hearing they don't work in fiction bc they just aren't believeable...)- with no evidence of slowing.i travel- i can't think of anywhere i wouldn't go, but there are a few places i never need to see again. sky-diving, motorcycle driving (not just riding), surfing (longboards baby!), cliff jumping, white water rafting, kayaking, hitch-hiking through remote jungles where the passengers are helping to carve the roads with hand tools. marathon hikes in the Trinity Alps (35 miles in one day!) or road trips from Tahoe through the Eastern Sierra to the Eureka Dunes and four-wheeling to the only clothing optional State Park in Saline Valley- crysing the coast all the way home. Tattoos in San Francisco, Berkeley, Amsterdam, NYC and with a bone by "Borneo headhunter". Throwing a bustier at Tom Jones with a rowdy bunch of Icelanders, only to get cut off at the pass by the man himself when I was grabbing it back because he seemd to be ignoring them. I used to carry a four foot length of tow chain to school with me. I didn't go to class but had lunch with my instructors and educated myself through reading and conversation. Produced the first performance art and poetry reading at my high school. Declared the most graceful no-conformist- awarded the Ferris Bueller award. I've seen ant wars and other natural wonders in Guatemala, dodged barracuda in the Caribe when Caye Caulker was still underdevelopedand you could rent a house for $20 a week from a couple of island rastas; the bulk of western Europe (though i have managed to keep Paris in reserve for my next true or at least steamy love!)- Iceland is a place i have to go again- if for no other reason than b/c i miss by darling Thor. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12. Just when i thought writing/producing and directing a play rocked my world the gift of LIFE was bestowed on my belly and after 9 months of wow and 3 days of hard labor i was blessed with WOOOOOOEEEE!!!
