About Me

- Have you ever met that person? The one who in a single breath can insult and compliment, can dream it all up and trample it underfoot, can offer redemption and condemnation. The one who can say exactly what she means, and in the next breath, contradict it all?

That person is me. I'm a perpetual changer, and in doing so remain the same. I guess you could say that I never learn.

Stubborn. Addictive. Hopeless. Romantic. Punk. Cabaret. Rock. Soul. Heart. Mind. Broken. Complete. Paradox. Bittersweet. Honest. Contradictory. Indecisive. Passionate. Painful. Intense. Alive.

Always learning, always falling, always failing, always succeeding. I'm out there, touching the flame and living the dream, at least for now.

I'm friendly, but rough around the edges, and hard to handle in large doses. I'm impulsive, flighty, frustrating, indefinable. I get confused, and I get lost, but I keep on trying.

I'd like to meet:

- If I have any ambition at all, it is to meet everybody in the world before I die - Quentin Crisp

It's odd. Whenever I think about the exactly who of all the people in the world that I want to meet, I get very philosophical, without exactly knowing why. For example, I want to say I met the person who changed my life beyond belief. I'd like to meet the person who throws everything I know in some kind of disarray. I want to mee the person who will love me forever. But the thing about those people is that even if you did meet them, you'd not really know them, because how could you? People don't come with a neon sign that says "Hello. I am very important."

I'd like to meet people and have something to say. I think I have things to say to all the people I want to meet, and I know that half of them I won't be able to. I want to ask Quentin who did his hair. I want to ask Oscar how things really were with Bosie. I want to ask Margaret Thatcher if she has any regrets. I'd like to meet Bono and just tell him thank you.

But I know that if I was to ever meet them, I'd not think of anything to say. I'd not be able to form any sentence, any opinion. I'd be a blank canvas, unmemorable, uninteresting, unreal.

And the Pope. I'd like to meet the Pope.
