i give too much information. i collect weird things like dead ladybugs, bones, babydoll parts, and warning labels. i hear something everyday that would "be great on a tee shirt". i am mesmerized by really fat women with teeny feet. i like to laugh, and sometimes snort when its really funny. i love good irish whiskey and those who drink it (especially friends who hate it but drink it just to make me happy). i enjoy painting with my hands but am seldom motivated to do so. i sympathy cry more often than i'd like to admit. i love to cook and eat. i adore sarcasm. i like taking pictures, frequently of dead things. i appreciate simple things like tea when i don't feel well, lingering glances, hand picked flowers, and hand written notes. i like to say cheers in as many ways as possible- my new one being "to the salt of the earth!". i love fresh produce, especially when it is from a garden i cared for. i like my dog even though i'm not a "dog person". i despise gw. i dislike religious proselytizing, but unfortunately use whiskey, political and vegetarian proselytizing frequently. i'm fascinated with tiny handmade books. i enjoy scantilly clad punk rock girls with bangs. i constantly think of things that i want to give people, and often overdraft my account buying them. i believe in theraputic touch. i like leaving love notes in my son's lunch box. i am in love with music and style from the 20's, 30's and 40's. i want a boat in the ocean. i appreciate thoughtfulness. i try to see things from other perspectives, and am always conscious of the fact that no matter how bad it is, there are so many that suffer more than me. i am obsessed with puppets, animation and comics. i am frequently pulled in both directions. i am a big fan of handmade gifts, handmade cards, and handmade gory movies. i enjoy getting drunk and using it as an excuse to grope my friends. i like the sound that a bolt of fabric being unrolled on the counter makes. i am fascinated by turn of the century medical equipment, lithographs, and the texture in paintings. i feel best when i'm contributing. i like to play outside. i love the ocean immensely, but hate to swim in it. i like buddha. i can spend 12 hours in an art museum. i'm spontaneous but lazy. i have a soundtrack in my head for everyone i know. i like trying to kick your ass even if i can't win. i'm proud to have a compassionate child. i have a problem being moderate. i love strong coffee late at night. i like living in the moment, but sometimes its hard. i don't like seeing people from high school because it weirds me out. i love old people who tell thier favorite stories over and over, wear chuck taylors, and ride motorcycles because when i get old thats what i will do.
I'd like to meet:
"the only people for me are the mad ones. the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time..."
- jack kerouac
