My Interests

I love coffee, dragonflies, and "The Sound of Music" (this does not reflect, in any way, an order of preference). I talk to myself. I play stuff out in my head over and over even though it will probably never happen. I exercise a great deal of self-censorship and self-restraint. The world amazes me, scares me, and mesmerizes me. I often throw things at the TV set when I'm watching the news in the morning. My godchildren rule my heart. I'm a lot like my grandfather, and I'm proud of it. I love the number 13 and the color red. My friends mean the world to me. I don't kill anything but cockroaches, and their slaying is justifiable because they'll outlive and outlast me in case of nuclear annihilation. I've come pretty close to dying a few times, and I did not experience any kind of newfound appreciation for life (maybe because I appreciated the heck out of it to begin with). I like to walk in the rain, and I would love to learn how to ski. I'm now officially ok with the fact that I'll never be what I was born to be. I wish I were a better singer, but my semi-lousy voice doesn't stop me from singing. I have a 'waiting song,' and I use it often. I could very easily be obsessive-compulsive, but so far I've been successful at keeping it at bay (although I do have a thing about not stepping on lines). Sometimes I think I'm done, and the next minute I think I haven't even started. I try to see the good side of things, but I can't always do it. I'm very impatient with myself and a bit too patient with other people. I'm a terrible dancer and a great kisser. My hands are freakishly small (yet effective - I have good references). My best friends are totally out of their minds, and they're insanely beautiful individuals. Oh, yeah - I ramble constantly.

I'd like to meet:

YOU

Music:

Dame Julie, Ella Fitzgerald, Fleetwood Mac, Carole King, James Taylor, Idina Menzel, Lisa Loeb, Elis Regina, Tom & Vinicius, Indigo Girls, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Bonnie Raitt, Tori Amos, Jim Brickman, blah, blah, blah... I could go on forever.

Movies:

The Sound of Music is my absolute favorite. I love musicals - just about anything with people breaking out into song for no apparent reason is guaranteed to catch my eye. Other favorites include Unconditional Love and Love Actually.

Books:

The Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, The Little Prince (which I should not like because it got me into soooooo much trouble), Written on the Body... This is too hard. Let's go with writers instead: Jeanette Winterson, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Poe, Lydia Maria Child, Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Wooooooooolfe, Cecilia Meirelles, Jose Saramago... Dayum, this is harder than talking about my favorite singers!

My Blog

Ooooooommmmm...

Ok, so I had a really interesting conversation with Professor Ellen last week. We both lost loved ones last Wednesday, and that's how the whole thing started. We even shared an imaginary bot...
