About Me

I have hair like Ted Nugent, circa 1980 and I have just come to terms with that. In the past people (and we are talking numerous) have told me I have hair like an 80s metal band - examples are Poison, White Snake and Stryper. I have not asked for these comparisons, they have just been given. But after careful consideration I feel it is much more "cat scratch fever" than anything else. In fact, I think I actually look a lot like Ted Nugent; long, gnarly faces, bad hair, leathery skin...

My Interests

You know, I really wish there was a "dislikes" section because I have a lot more of those than I have interests.I am also really interested in craftwork. Seriously, the more grandma-like the better. I really love to crochet and to do various types of needlework. I would make a great spinster; I really want to make a doll toilet paper holder.

I'd like to meet:

Richard Dawson. Preferably while being kissed by him while on the Family Feud. Someone who owns a Datsun, so I could borrow it and "do it in a Datsun."

Music:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Elvis, Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, Supergrass, Queen, Blur, Thor... Tons more, but these are the tops.

Movies:

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, House of Wax (with Vincent Price and preferably in 3D), Back to the Beach, Clue, Rock Star, Haunted Honeymoon, The Jazz Singer (with Neil Diamond!), Welcome to the Dollhouse, Grease 2 and Dirty Dancing!

Television:

Law and Order, especially SVU because I am madly infatuated with Richard Belzer. Strangers with Candy!! Brady Bunch, Beverly Hills 90210, Press Your Luck, Match Game (but only the Richard Dawson episodes).

Books:

The World According to Garp and most anything else by John Irving. Nobody's Fool by Richad Russo. I am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe. Secret History by Donna Tartt. I tend to find one author I like and then read everything they have written and it upsets me when they take forever between books. I also like cheesey 80s melodramatic young adult fiction and cheesey 50s Beverly Cleary young romance fiction. Archie Comics!! I tend to rarely read new books, mostly I just reread the same ones over and over again.

Heroes:

Cher - the first triple threat! Also, my buddy Dennis.
