Oh no! There's a problem! Whatever shall we do? I know! Sit and drink!

About Me

I love life. I don't get too involved in real-life drama. There isn't enough room in my life for extra theatrics. Life gives me enough on a day to day basis, especially with a daughter who is two and a half years old. I love my family, and all my friends, and being outside, no matter what the weather. I live with zeal, and pursue many interests, but the literary world is where my heart is. I will always live there, no matter what else I happen to be skipping after at the moment. And I'm not mean, I'll just say sarcastic things until you cry.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.” ~Tom Robbins. That man is a genius.

I'd like to meet:

Classy people. Quirky people. Eccentric people. Sincere people. Intelligent people. The only famous person I want to meet is Harvey the Rabbit.

Music:

Any of it. My tastes are getting more and more mild as the years go by. Always the classics, like the Beatles. I like jam bands, most of them, at any rate. Also, Sublime, and Olive, and Bjork, and Morcheeba, and Ben Folds, and, well, anything but rap or country. Z

Movies:

Nightmare Before Christmas!! Big Fish!! Twelve Angry Men! The Incredibles! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Amelie! Just to name a few that I love! I am so tired of violence in movies. And these scary horror films that keep getting cranked out! Gratuitous violence and gore and scariness are so mindlessly gauche! I love cinema, but I like a well-written screenplay, complete with a plot, and plot twists, and intelligence, and good acting!

Television:

I like cartoons a lot, but "off" is my favorite channel

Books:

I am currently on a Salman Rushdie kick, and I am now reading Shame by him. Also love, Jitterbug Perfume, by Tom Robbins. The Pickwick Papers, by Charles Dickens. Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore. Just to name a few. I love most books!!

Heroes:

My Friends!! They are the sole inspiration in my life! If ever I was inspired to be a better person, it was because I had a friend nearby! Oh, and Switters, too!

Evening

As another day wears down, and evening sets in, we start relaxing.  I pour a glass of wine or a cocktail, and let the thoughts seep in.  My little one sits and looks at books or maybe watche...

Poppa

My dad passed away this morning at 10:15. I don't really have much else to say than this. I am broken-hearted and everything is a little surreal to me. I know a lot of good will come and has come f...

A Visit With Poppa

It was unbearable, sitting with him.  He sat in his rocker, looking old for the first time in his life.  His sharp blue eyes were distant, focusing on some future sorrow, past grief, or imag...
