About Me

I just went back to school to get my master’s in Dance/Movement Therapy after spending four years trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up…I’m still not sure. Dancing and choreographing are the two things that make me feel alive. I have a newfound passion and love for yoga. I bake bread obsessively. I’m learning how to be open…really open. It’s obnoxious, but everything happens for a reason and everything happens when it’s supposed to happen. I’m beginning to believe that happiness is not a myth.

My Interests

Dance, Music, Art, Books, Long Walks, Paring my life down...

I'd like to meet:

People who are creative, fun, intelligent, ambitious, and only mildly crazy...

Music:

Way too much to list or narrow down, but I'll try: Tori Amos, Ani Difranco, R.E.M, Tom Waits, Beck, Soul Coughing, Devendra Banhart, Andrew Bird, Beth Orton, Tracy Chapman, Regina Spektor, Cat Stevens, Aesop Rock, Steve Reich, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Mum...I'm just gonna stop for now...

Movies:

I'm bad with picking my favorite movies. I do love Harold and Maude...hence my kitten's name. If it's foreign, beautiful, depressing, or a well done documentary it's probably right up my alley.

Television:

Not a big fan, but I am definitely a Law and Order junkie and I do admit to being hooked on Grey's Anatomy

Books:

There are so many good ones...I love Anne Lamott... Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Eat, Love, Pray, made me very happy. I can read David Sedaris over and over and still laugh until I cry. I of course can't forget my name-sake, Djuna Barnes

My Blog

Sigh...

Grad school is hard&really hard. Our semester is over in five short weeks and I have so many papers and finals due that I am not sure how to feasibly get it all done. (Yes, I am not aiding the situati...

So last night I had two awful realizations& first off, I am entirely too old to have more than two cocktails in one night&secondly, I still make the same crappy decisions as I did when I was younger (...

someone get me another glass of wine...

So it's not like I have ever professed to know the meaning of life, but these days it seems that I really don't know why we're here anymore. One of my favorite quotes is: "There are things you do beca...

Fuck...Fuck...and...Fuck...

So why is it that sometimes when a door you have been praying would open is finally opened for you there is great trepidation and fear about actually using it? I am going to be ambiguous here, but I h...

AHHHHHHH!!!

Okay...so anyone who knows me knows that I have an intense fear of change. I'm working on it and all of the Buddhist and Zen books I've been reading are helping me stay present and positive, but they ...
