About Me

Myspace Layouts For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.comI am sure everyone feels dichotomous, but I happen to think I am one of the more extreme cases. Maybe because my life has been lived in extreme ways. I believe the best thing about living is the story you get to tell about it. Ask me about drunkenly jumping a fence in Buelton, how a baby broke my nose, or when I took the Scots to a drag show. I am the biggest klutz, yet I am exceptionally good at roller skating. Capricorns are known for their dogged determination, one of my best attributes I think. Tell me no and watch me do it anyway. I work too much, but it makes me happy. Doing it perfectly gets me off. I am a middleclass white girl with a full back tattoo. I apprenticed to body pierce and taught at the preschool I went to when I was 3. My parents are still happily-married after 30-plus years. Their relationship is the reason why I am perfectly comfortable being alone most of the time. Again, it's my staunch determination to get exactly what I want. What can I say, I am particular. I used to write for two motorcycle magazines, and now I work as an exexutive assistant for the business development department. That's right, I gave up the bobbers for a sweater set, but I still know how to spot a sweet custom. I respect the relationship between a man and his car (or motorcycle). I grew up with a car nut for a father, I consider his '33 Ford roadster one of my siblings. I still write for his mag, WORLD OF RODS when he needs the help. I love a well-made V-twin, but I am better off riding a Vespa. People comment on what a varied vocabulary I employ. Shit, I just love finding the perfect word to convey my thoughts. I notice everything, I remember everything. I just moved out for the first time at 28-years-old, but my apartment is exactly the one I wanted. I am grateful for my life even when it is bringing me to my knees. I'd rather you be on your knees. I love corsets and men who make me feel feminine. I love a black t-shirt and a really good pair of jeans. I am a sushi slut. I bake the best cookies ever. I meditate by crocheting, and I am double-jointed nearly everywhere. If it's a rare medical condition, I have it. I am fiercely loyal to my friends. I'd walk into a bar in my jamies if you called me to come get you. Passion flowers, moths, sock monkeys, my blankey, and Gustav Klimt are some of my favorite things. I think that's more than enough for now.

My Interests

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'd like to meet:

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.

Music:

Music is life. It has the power to create mood and therefore emotion. What freakin' powerful thing. Hard to list...lately my iTunes at work keep playing, Tool, Green Day, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, AFI, Distillers, The Killers, U2, Garbage, No Doubt, Gwen Stefani, Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, 311, NIN, The Donnas, The Sundays, Cake, Great Expectations Soundtrack, Incubus, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Pixies, Ramones, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, Fiona Apple, Nirvana, Jimmy Eat World, STP, Bjork, DJ Dan, Donald Glaude, Timo Mass, Sneaker Pimps, Tori Amos, Sevendust, Cyndi Lauper, Muse, The Music, Placebo, The Mars Volta, Doves, Beck, My Chemical Romance, Gorillaz, The Dead 60's, Coldplay, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, Sublime, Beastie Boys, Social Distortion, Tiger Army, Sonny Boy, I don't know...I know I am forgetting plenty. There's a sample.

Movies:

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

Television:

My best friend got me addicted to Lost, Reno 911, Law

Books:

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.

Heroes:

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
