About Me

I date the rip-roaring-est bass playing pirate that ever didn't sail the seven seas! When I'm not slaving away in my not-as-windowless-as-it-used-to-be cubicle at the company that has nothing to do with what I studied in college, I'm hunched over my current journal writing frantically about my many exciting and interesting experiences that I manage to have despite work, or I have my nose in a book (to read, not smell...though some do smell nice), I enjoy a fine glass of wine (that doesn't come from a box or jug), I speak Italian sorta (vendetta! vendetta! farfalle vendetta!), I like to eat, I love music, and I like to do crossword puzzles waaay too much. But I hate the run-on sentence that I just wrote.

My Interests

Writing, journaling (is having 20+ filled-up journals too many?) music, pirates, rock and/or roll, kicking ass, Italy (not Florence, though - after you've seen the art (which, yes, is amazing) then the city just starts to seem 'la la la..look at us...we started the Renaissance...bleh), Rome - I love Rome! Let me know when you're there and I'll give you directions to the best fucking spaghetti you've ever eaten EVER. Buffy Night, Writing Circle night (*sniff* which is on hiatus - I miss you Eden!!), being creative, wine and food separately and together, spontaneous gifts, getting to see free movies in the theater, trying new things and enjoying the results and the cool people I get to meet, reading lots and lots and LOTS of books and keeping a list of them in my desk like the nerd that I am, being organized...though don't ever ask to see my daytimer...it will frighten you.

I'd like to meet:

Sarah Michelle Geller, Johnny Depp, some scurvy pirates (got a thing for them), Count Dracula, Tom Cruise as a vampire so I can stake him as a service to society, my aunt Annie Bradford and her mother, people with good connections that could get me published.

Music:

Drinkfist, Tester, Nullset/GBB (particularly the Bass Player), Nirvana, Chucklehead, Chevelle, Kris Delmhorst, Sophie Ellis Baxtor , Disturbed, Godsmack, The Darkness, Staind, Limp Biskit, Linkin Park, Pantera, Breaking Benjamin, Third Eye Blind, Tori Amos, Guster, the song 'David Duchovny, Why Won't You Love Me?,' Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Gershwin, Rogers and Hammerstein, showtunes in general, Vivaldi, the soundtrack from 'Swing Kids,' etc., etc. Make me a cd and introduce me to something and I'll probably love it. (Other than "christian rock" and churchy stuff like that...after discovering life outside the catholic church I don't want to go back...I experienced enough already in life.) And then The Archies of course!

Movies:

Krazy Kat, bugologist



"While in the woods studying bugs, Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse encounter a sleeping bee and an angry elephant." 1916 Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dracula (all incarnations of), The Mummy (all incarnations of), Pirates of the Caribbean (one more than two, I must say), Roman Holiday, Gladiator (the scenery always makes me cry and miss Rome, though...), all the Harry Potter movies, all of Fred and Ginger's movies, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (though really, I would kill any man who kidnapped me, caused an avalanche to stop any chance of escape, and forced me into his mountain cabin with his six brothers and their kidnappees, not fall in love with him), and usually I end up liking the movies Shippey watches. The Boondock Saints and Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, for example.

Television:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (every third Thursday of the month), The X-Files (to be watched with Buffy, if applicable), Rome, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, Carnivale, Fox's Sunday Night Cartoons, Bones, the South Park episodes making fun of religion(s) and politics and basically all the South Park episodes, and NESN in the summer when it's Red Sox season! And of late, the new show "Heroes".

Books:

Anything by Marian Keyes or Jane Austen, all the Harry Potters, Pompeii by Robert Harris, Angels and Demons, Dracula, creative nonfiction and well written nonfiction books such as Talking to the Dead...really there are too many to list....I think the only books I never liked were 'Watership Down' (damn rabbits) and 'Billy Budd' (though recently I kinda like it more because I found out one of the men to inspire Billy is an alum from my college, this information being listed on HWS' website even though he was hanged for being BAD).

Heroes:

Buffy, Agent Dana Scully, the Virgin Mary for putting up with the crap from the Catholic Church that made her BACK into a virgin, my great-great-great aunt Anne Bradford for living in and traveling all through Italy in 1879 and thus guiding my life while I did the same thing.
