About Me

For Delirium was once Delight. And although that was long ago now, even today her eyes are badly matched; one eye is a vivid emerald green, spattered with silver flecks that move; her other eye is vein blue. Who knows what Delirium sees, through her mismatched eyes? ***From SANDMAN: "Season of Mists", episode 0

My Interests

I'm very complex. I like everything from books to nature. I love talking philosophy and politics. For fun I salsa dance. You can catch me dancing at several hot spots in L.A. Don't even get me started on food... Ice cream to sushi. If it exists I probably love it. It's really some freak accident that I'm as thin as I am. I can be a real cow sometimes. I've always been into theater and have done quite a bit in this field. I don't seek fame...it's just a passion of mine. My favorite sport is baseball. My favorite team is the Oakland Athletics...Mark my words...You are going down. I like the American league better than the National because the American has nicer fans and the rules are better and Barry Bonds is not in our league. Ha ha! :) We do have the Yankees though. Yes...I'm a cute girl who likes video games. Get over it.

I'd like to meet:

Your mom.

Music:

Ani Difranco, White Stripes, Celia Cruz, Oscar DeLeon, Gotan Project,Portishead, Tool, Eric Clapton... the list is ridiculously long sooooo let me leave it at that.

Movies:

Directors... Quentin Tarantino...Robert Rodriguez...Tim Burton...David LynchCurrently my favorite movies are GIA, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Princess Bride.I'm a sucker for stupid movies: Tommy Boy, Corky Romano, Napoleon Dynamite

Television:

Kill it... but if you insist on watching it avoid the news...unless it's Adult Swim. Comedy Central or Heroes

Books:

I recently finished Angels in America and loved it immensely. I am a huge Tennesee Williams fan. Athol Fuggard's Sorrows and Rejoicings....well Athol Fuggard's anything. Hmmm...David Ives, Moliere...Shakespeare... I love Harry Potter. (If it wasn't painfully obvious..I am a nerd!) I like short stories and my favorite is Yellow Wall Paper. My all time favorite book though is....(Drum Roll)...Princess Bride...(If you haven't read it...do the world a favor and do so!) I enjoy graphic novels and comics too. I got to meet Neil Gaiman...one of the best writers of our time. I like poetry too...My all time favorite poem is "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot...(No I am not a Prufrock) Check out Virginia Hamilton Adair...that is some sexy stuff...

Heroes:

The people who do random acts of kindness with no yearning for a "thank you". The people who can find a way to smile when it seems there is nothing else to live for. Those people are my heroes.

My Blog

I'll tell you what....

Life is pretty good right now... It seems all of my friends, even the ones on my myspace friends list, ( I set my profile to public... FYI) are doing really well. That makes me very very happy... it's...

Ancient History

Two monks on a pilgrimage came to the ford of a river. There they saw a girl dressed in all her finery, obviously now knowing what to do since the river was high and she did not want to spoil her clo...

Complacent

 I love double meanings... don't you? Definition:  Satisfied but with fault. In a way the most tragic kind of contentment would be to describe oneself as such. I am where I am. I am who I am...

Life is her muse.

Change is a funny thing. Either its something you're completely excited about or it terrifies you to no end. Sometimes it's hard to say when change occurs... did it happen overnight? " Gee... I was fe...

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out...
