I am here for Friends

About Me

Art-lover and artist-lover--I am inexplicably drawn to creative people. I am a social butterfly and an intellectual dilettante but only in the best sense of those words. Often I'm like a kid with a new toy--once I discover a new artist, band, writer, or filmmaker that I like, I want to spend all my time learning about him/her. Then I move on to the next new thing. Just when you think you have figured me out, I'll surprise you.

My Interests

film, travel, music, contemporary art (particularly, Matthew Barney, Petah Coyne, Mark Ryden, Mariko Mori, Jeff Koons, and John Currin), belly dancing, Eddie Izzard, sushi & Indian food, chatting about anything, turning people on to art

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in fellow art and film addicts who will encourage my habit and/or people who have something fascinating and passionate to say about life, ideas, and chaos that we live in.
