About Me

I'm dull as dishwater and a jewelry designer at heart...

Layout made by fallen

My Interests

Shiny things!!! Jewelry, food, make-up, clothes, food, gem and jewelry shows, my cross eyed cat, food...shoes. Attempting to cook without setting off the smoke alarms in the house.

I'd like to meet:

A dog that doesn't sniff my crotch or a cat that doesn't rub up against me when I am wearing all black.

Music:

infiltrata,d-struct,old skool hip hop, agent orange, madness, blondie, oasis, massive attack, tricky, portishead, sugarcubes, abc, the clash, culture club, the english beat, the selecta, kt tunstall, bjork, go-go's, madonna, no doubt, gwen stefani, santana, sisters of mercy and too much more to list

Movies:

That means I have to sit still. Really, I have the worst time in movies. I fidget 15 minutes into them, then can't stop -- and that's in a movie I think is ok. If it is one I hate or can't get into, I keep getting up and walking around. It's frustrating for those who are with me. I can't help that. Sorry. :(

Television:

Law and Order franchise whore, Top Gear, Dragons Den - the men are sorta really fucking hawt, Will & Grace, Jack & Bobby - myself and the other 2 people who watched that show really miss it, Veronica Mars, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy - US version, Charmed - my very guilty pleasure, The Practice reruns, Boston Legal, Project Runway

Books:

So this is the part where I sound all erudite and intellectual and shit...so um...Here we go: People's Best and Worst of 2006, Star Magazine's Most annoying 25 people of 2006, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, In Style, Vanity Fair, um...hell, really, anything in the SI Newhouse publication. Oh dammit. Those are magazines. Books that I have dubbed my favorite intellectual reading of all time: The Affluent Society, John Kenneth Galbraith; Fast Food Nation ; Macroeconomics - James K. Galbraith & William Darity J.; CodeName: Kaibigan; Dirty Deeds, Vol. I and II; In Our Image: American's Empire in the Philippines; Rick Stein's French Odyssey; The Ties that Bind: African Reliance on Western Capital; South Africa: Crossing the Rubicon; I am sure there are more, but I can't remember them. It happens after you hit 35, really.

Heroes:

People who survived a catholic school education

I thought I loved you...

...but the bitter sting of betrayal hurts. No amount of hugs and cookies can ever make up for your beastliness.  What next?  Puppy porn?  Do your worst, for I am wounded beyond oblivion...
