Roast Marshmallows On My Burning Embers

About Me

I'm a sucker for war stories (i'm speaking figuratively here people! -- like the battle you had on the playground in the 3rd grade) and romance languages. You could say I'm a dreamer with a fertile imagination, quick mind and a creative spark. I'm hardworking, artsy, cynical, a romantic, though i'm in denial, political, fun loving, at times highly animated.. at others, extremely chill ... I'm a bit on the eccentric/ eclectic side, part bond-girl badass - tomboy - prankster - revolutionary - libertine - Globetrotter - INTERNATIONAL WOMAN OF MYSTERY - domestic goddess. I am a big thinker. I love langauge and all forms of self-expression . . . I try not to take life and living too seriously, but sometimes it's hard not too. As a writer and documentarian, i'm in love with the idea of giving voices to the voiceless, self-exploration, uncovering mythologies, recovering lost histories, discovering life's little ironies and its many blessings.Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
