About Me

My Interests

intense knowledge gathering, a perfect creme brulee, REAL friendship, being someone's MUSE, driving under an overpass during a hard rain, COY KOIS, losing myself in a transcending song, book, movie, or moment; ass-kickng live shows, optimistic day-dreaming, instant karma, the moment when your laughter turns hyterical, Ketel 1 kamikaze shots, old roadside attractions, wearing rose-colored glasses, finding old pals who'd been lost, dancing until dawn, champagne cocktails, TiVo wrangling, day-tripping, pedicures, an enlightening conversation and riding the same wavelength while talking to anyone fun, Scrabble, pop culture studies, the kindness of well-meaning strangers, California State Landmark hunting, embracing my true nature, archiving, top-shelf mojitos, witnessing true artistic talent and vision, a fabulous meal, taking trips to Calistoga-Napa Valley-Cali for a Thai-Milk bath, a massage and some wine tasting (yum), flipping your pillow over to the cool underside, Reefs for my feets, the TILT-A-WHIRL!, a fine glass of wine, San Francisco days and nights, book hunting for my store, HOPE, pomegranates, fine hot tea, my macs and my iPod, VEGAS... OH HOW I LOVE THE WYNN, great coffee on any morning, the sims, bright blooming dahlias, good ol'Jack Daniel's & CocaCola, baking cupcakes, being true.

I'd like to meet:
