I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am soft on the inside.I am a pretty wild woman. I don't make sense. I have a huge heart even though I try and hide it. I know that there is something I should be doing- and that all the crazy stunts, jobs and hats I have tried on will bring me to that final answer. I am searching, I am enjoying the ride but ready for some answers. ..

My Interests

Theatre. Music. Good food and drink. 22 oz beers. T.V on D.V.D. High heels. People with brains- that know how to use them. Saving the world from boring close minded assholes. Spending time with my "sexy partner in crime". Teaching teenagers how to have a voice and use it. Having daily adventures....My cat....kissing....New York...butterflies(I know barf!)...living my dreams and becoming a movie star.

I'd like to meet:

Rock stars. Judy Garland. More gay boys who love my pointy shoes. A muppet, really the muppet, as in Kermit the frog. Myself at five. A crazy investor who will let me open my own school/theatre. Buffy and Angel. Buster Bluth.

Music:

Where to start....Rufus Wainwright, Tori Amos, Beastie Boys, Bare Naked Ladies, Bad 80's love songs or butt rock, Ben Harper, Wilco, The Asylum Street Spankers, Travis, Bob Dylan....just to name a few.

Movies:

Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch Drunk Love, Garden State, The Wizard of OZ, The Graduate, The Royal Tannenbaums, Once, Stardust, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Sixteen Candles.

Television:

Buffy, Angel, Sex and the city, Six Feet Under, Arrested Development,DEADWOOD- I love dirty cowboys!, BSG. LOST- darn it! The Westwing!

Books:

Where to start? Women. Written on the body. The Color Purple. The Cider House Rules. The Timetravlers Wife. Fool on the hill. Middlesex. A home at the edge of the world.

Heroes:

Any one who speaks their mind and changes the world. Brave. Open and honest souls. My Mom and My Dad. My friends both near and far.

The road less traveled..

I have never thought so much about one choice in my life. I had two paths in front of me, both were great and both gave me something of what I want. I have, in the past, just jumped in like a cat or a...

Ah, gratitude!

Observations and Such.

Lately all signs point to GO!- which is at once exciting and totally freaky. As a woman who says that she enjoys change- one would think that I would be floating, above the earth on could nine; and th...

The winter is leaving us I can feel it. Oh, I know that there will be long, wet grey days to come. The sun is not going to stay with us for the long haul, but damn it was nice to have it round for now...

I have tried to fight this feeling. You know the one, make change, clean the house, stop drinking and become a good person......but I do think there is something to be said for a new year. So here are...
