urban, popular, and cultural studies, music, poetry, spoken word, WRITING, crafts (yes I am a crafty bitch scrapbooks, crochetting, collage, sewing) art, Gustav Klimt, photography, sock monkeys, live music in small venues, sushi, a drink or two after a long day, tattoos, baking cookies, good friends, confidence but not arrogance, imaginaton, laughing, taking nothing too seriously but thinking about everything too much, that's me. I could go on and I have in the past...but I am over it, get to know me and find out as the cliche goes.
I have always admired creative people. It seems that the more creative the person, the more passionate, intelligent and intriging they are as well. And that above all is what I admire most in people, depth of character and intelligence. COMPOSE AN E-MAIL and not just some lame one, like "I like your tat." Don't just send a trite friend request. If I found you interesting, I'd be that polite. I have a wide variety of friends and do a wide variety of things. I want to meet people who do not define "you" or themselves by appearence, but employ a personal style, command a presence about themselves, and are cool with who they are without having to try. People who let the moment happen without forcing it, but take the opportunity when it's there because they can sense it. People whose actions speak for themselves, ya heard? :)~ I like people you can just hang out with, laugh until you can't breathe and who still love you when you're really human like first thing in the morning or when you're drunk and acting stupid. If you're just as cool as I think you are...you'll get 100% loyality and devotion as a friend or more from someone like me and a mean ass cookie.

For a blip in my life I wanted to be a film major in college. I even made 3-minute film on super8 film. I sat in some underground room for hours and hours at Long Beach City college editing the piece of crap too. After I shot the whole thing at my house one day not knowing how the hell to use the ee lock button properly, I then and cut and spliced the whole thing with splice tape and crudely used a song off of the soundtrack of Swingers for my little 3-minute shinging moment titled
My best friend got me addicted to Lost, Reno 911, Law
I read all day long for a living so it's a bit tiring to do at the end of the day at times. But I'll borrow someone else's eyeballs to read Harry Potter. Save your nasty insults, it's some of the best brain junk food ever! I love Jeff Noon, Savage Girl, The DaVinci Code was pretty entertaining. Uhhhh maybe someday I'll posses enough talent to write one of my own and it will actually be worth reading. Reading is good, it increases your intelligence and brains are sexy.
First off, my parents. Happily married for almost 30 years and they are still in love. Life hasn't always been perfect, in fact I have seen them struggle through some very desperate times but they never lost sight of the fact that they loved each other and had a faily to keep intact. They did it without suffocating religious convictions, economic obligations, and they didn't stay together just
