About Me

Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
Sort of grew up on both coasts.. back here on the east, hope to make it back west one of these days... I'd like to think I'm lively, a lot of Fun, (everyone says that)... straighforward, goofy, bold, strong, a little nuts ~ in the best way of course, truthful and all that and more... 'Smoky' remains one of my all time favorite compliments.There is nothing like having a favorite song in your head, cold wind kissing your face, gorgeous view ahead of you, as you barrel down a mountain with two sticks strapped to your feet. I have lots of passion about lots of things....I try not to take myself too seriously, bugs me when people do. I'm an active person, but not to extreme, I very much enjoy my evenings when I've got nothin and can sit on my couch and veg w/ tv. But as much as possible I like do things out of doors, hiking, skiing, camping, tooling around an interesting new town - any kind of exploring LOVE to travel, wish I did more. Love walking with my dog. She's the bomb. Love to go see live music. Love to dance. Get a big kick out of life most of the time....

My Interests

Music, Baking and Skiing are my top passions; Cooking, water skiing if I knew someone w/ a boat, discovering new things.. that encompasses a lot... People watching! Human behavior. That which we can't see.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, friends ... Anyone who sparkles...A quick note about 'friend requests' ... if you'd like to request one, and I don't know you, how about a note as to why you think we should be friends....

Music:

Yes please! Mostly in the alternative vein, but I listen to a wide variety. Ani Difranco, Tom Waits, Lyle Lovett, X, REM, Muse, Sublime, RHCP, Ramones, Elvis Costello, Pete Yorn, Cake, Foo Fighers, Killers, Amos Lee, Green Day, Matt Kearney, Interpol, The Fray, Joss Stone, Snow Patrol, Josh Joplin, James Hunter, John Eddie, Alexi Murdoch, Cahill, Entrain - to shake my booty to! Of course THE FIENDS, classical when in the mood - Bach, Rachmaninoff, classic Jazz - Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto - Much too many to list all, I'm impressed by people who do! Always love being introduced to new music ...

Movies:

Not so much on the overly violent ones, although loved Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, hated Reservoir Dogs.. can't watch much horror. A few favorites would be Shawshank Redemption, Almost Famous, Rear Window, Stand by Me, Bagdad Cafe, Benny & Joon, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Notorious, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sin City, Saving Grace, Princess Bride, Star Wars (most of em) Schindler's List, Love Actually, Like Water for Chocolate, Breakfast Club (I can admit that) the new Pride & Prejudice ... I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY SOME OF THESE BOXES ARE IN CAPS!?

Television:

Some. Six Feet Under was some of the best tv I've ever seen. Sex in the City too, so sad all done. Same w/ Alias... Grey's Anatomy, House, Jericho, Side Order of Life.. And I watch the weather channel.. or should I not admit that?

Books:

My latest fav ~ eat, pray, love; Five Quarters of the Orange, Cider House Rules, Lucifer's Hammer, The Bitch in the House, Memoirs of a Geisha (movie, not so good..)Secret Life of Bees, I Like sci fi... Dean Koontz...need to read more of the classics

Heroes:

Anyone who fights for the injustices in the world and everyone who makes it a more beautiful one.

Why we hadn't brought to realization sooner that the beach could be just about the perfect venue for a party is a marvel.. but it has been realized and it was everything I'd hoped it'd be.... Won...
