About Me


Your Inner Child Is Naughty
Like a child, you tend to discount social rules.
It's just too much fun to break the rules!
You love trouble - and it seems that trouble loves you.
And no matter what, you refuse to grow up! How Is Your Inner Child?

My Interests

Poetrose, my own version of rambling writing...photography...thinking out loud...thinking quietly...I'd like to run a magazine someday...I'd like to write a book someday, maybe more...listening to music...good conversation over coffee, wine, food, water, whatever's nearby...I'm a total magazine junkie--when reading a new mag, I always read the back page first because I want to know up front what the writers want me to take away from the experience...actually, I read a lot of things from front to back...when picking out a new book to read, I find a random passage somewhere in the middle of the book and if it hooks me, I buy it...and often these books sit on my shelf until I feel compelled, inspired or otherwise pressured to saunter through it...I like to read, but I don't read as much as I should...cloudbursting...getting lost in fogstorms...making up my own words...

I'd like to meet:

Richard Feynman, Eddie Izzard, Amy Sedaris, her brother David, Daniel Duane, Gabi Reece, Wendell Pierce, the creators of Uglydolls, Christine Lincoln, and a behind-the-scenes funder for a project I'm developing.
