When it comes to matters of the heart, we are all just reckless drivers on an icy road.

About Me


...seeking deeper meaning, laughing till it hurts, expressing myself through jpegs, bookworm, trying to not watch so much tv (and failing), addicted to perfumes with vanilla notes, often contradicting myself (mostly in a good way though) warm, kind, way too honest for my own good and incapable of hiding truths, mildly obsessive when I stumble on to something good, empathetic, old seventies bass lines, largo on fairfax to see jon brion, kcrw, pretend karate, electronic music, john lennon, collage artist, short-ish attention span, neil simon, digital photography, karaoke, the expensive tequila, super sour things like lemons, sour candy and saurkraut, dancing until I drop, burning mixed cds for people, faded jeans, pumas, yoga, intelligent, articulate, bold, run dmc, free association, pickles, love.
WORD.

long walks with my dog Dudley,

making people laugh, the person that invented the ipod, singing, the smells of laundry, fresh cut grass, gasoline and wet paint, pedicures, meeting new people, E! true hollywood stories, mint tea, hanging out with good friends with no particular plan, the age that I am (but stopping here), smiling at strangers, sun on my skin, making lists, rain when Im inside.


off to play dr. again.
these things are a drag:
shallow or phony people, people that are intolerant and/or closeminded and who take themselves too seriously, people who flake, people that misrepresent themselves only to reveal their true evil nature later on, road rage, bad hair days, peoples expectations, people who say one thing and do another, feeling obligated, disloyal friends, greed, that last ten pounds, people who rush me, being sick, cold weather, being ignored, button pushers, dudes that are skeezy and being ignored by shallow phony people(that are skeezy)(in cold weather).
(or any variable of that)
When you love someone,
And you love them with your heart,
It never disappears
When you're apart.
And when you love someone
And you've done all you can do,
You set them free,
And if that love was true....
When you love someone
It will all come back to you
Le coeur a ses raisons
Que la raison ne connait pas.
--
(The heart has its reasons,
Whereof reason knows nothing)
~Pascal
Falling in love with someone is a lie.
You cannot fall in love with anybody that is not yourself.
And when this happens, you attribute this state of being to the first person you meet, believing that it is that person's qualities to attract you.
This sensation is as marvelous as it is dangerous, because nothing and no one outside yourself can contain this joy that explodes inside you.
It is the desperate attempt to pour an ocean into a drinking glass.
In a short time you realize that the partner into which you had poured all your love, reveals himself or herself unable to sustain this energy, and you wait anxiously for a new explosion which could never come again.
In reality, you can sincerely love somebody only if
you first learn how to love yourself.

--Krishnamurti

My Interests

MY MOTTO:

I'd like to meet:


PEOPLE WHO FLIP MY SWITCH...

I would just like to meet cool new people
who will enrich my life for knowing them...

PEOPLE WHO GO AGAINST THE STEREOTYPE-
fun and kind, nice and sweet, deep, fun, into music, spontaneous, people that are attractive but not so gorgeous its like looking into the sun--mostly attractive within makes them attractive outwardly. Well-read, in touch with your inner child,
people that have good musical taste and that love to rock out, playful, funny, not into head games, not afraid to build relationships and not afraid to be vulnerable and real--guys that are manly but sensitive and chivalrous--girls that are NOT catty, chicks that ROCK, patient, kind, flexible, not into creating drama of ANY SORT, get along with most, creative, silly at times, inquistive and SMART and smart alecky. People who observe the golden rule UNFAILINGLY.

and if only i could meet:
Ad Rock (Adam Horowitz)

Promise yourself... To be so strong, that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity, to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything, and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
