About Me

Well hells belles I've been thinking about moving to Portland for a long while and now I've finally gone for it. The skating is great here and as far as I can tell so are the people. Sounds like a match made in heaven. I'm all about skateboarding, my dog Angus, 60's-80's music and staying sane...oh wait too late here comes the straight jacket.

My Interests

Skateboarding, collecting records, playing the drums, b/w photography, taking the bull by the horns, singing to the kiddies (of course they never know the songs), sleeping in my cocoon, eating lots of bread, trying to sit up straight.

I'd like to meet:

A goofy one like myself that doesn't refer to me as "chick"...it's "wench" or "broad" to you!

Watch This! You won't be sorry. ..

Music:

Sabbath, AC-DC, Ramones, Jawbreaker, Blondie, The Kinks, Bo Diddley, Morphine, X, Misfits, Motorhead, Lucero, Adam Ant, Love and Rockets, Nebula, The Replacements, Joan Jett, Black Keys, Beastie Boys...damn I didn't mention Iggy Pop...IGGY POP's music makes me hot! Yeah, it's true.

Movies:

American Beauty, The Station Agent, Buffalo 66, Some Kind of Wonderful, A Beautiful Mind, gimme a cool indie flick, a dark comedy, or a thoughtful drama.

Television:

Weeds, Family Guy, and Project Runway...ooh and Wheel of Fortune.

Books:

The Dirt, Generation X, My Horizontal Life, Delta of Venus, Jane Eyre...and of course the Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen autobiographies.

Heroes:

My Mom. When I was growing up there was CaraBeth Burnside and SALBA.

In Case Anybody Thinks I've Gone Off the Deep End...

Fist off, SHAME ON YOU!  It'll take a lot more than stupid skateboarders to get me to throw the towel in on skateboarding and/or life as a whole.  I'm fine.  I'm constantly struggling t...

On the Eve of 33

I know many people who have all taken different paths with their lives.  Some are lost, others have been right on track since the age of 5.  With a birthday on the horizon, it really makes m...

Me and the inflatable flamingo...

There I was at the bar (again) with a sure thing on the side and a potential all over me. How the hell I ended up going home with nobody but the inflatable pink flamingo is beyond me. Honestly, it had...

I don't fly...

I don't like flying in airplanes. I have almost been kicked off a flight before b/c of this. Last weekend I was really homesick for SF and since the weather sucked I was going to take a bus up. Thr...

Do you remember Halloween?

I had a great Halloween eve as the penis fairy.  Got kicked out of some bar because the manager didn't like my costume (I wasn't even drunk yet!).  Apparently the penis fairy costume was too...

San Diego is for lovers...oops I mean loners

Um yeah.  It's Friday and once I started to think about it, I don't have anyone to hang with tonight because I just don't know that many cool people down here in San Diego.  Since I just got...

A little venting...

So I just got home from yet another skate contest where I got a placing I didn't deserve. I try not to complain (except to my closest friends) but I swear aside from maybe 3 contests (out of the 15 o...
