About Me

I am a woman who has lived in many different places and still hasn't figured out what I'm looking for.I am a woman who thinks I'm funnier than I really am, but that's okay, because all that matters is I laugh.I am a woman who remains constantly enamoured by the use of language. I love books in a way that makes me pause and run my fingers on the cover of a finished novel, so that I can briefly visit the characters inside. I also still wonder when they go to the bathroom.I am a woman who has chosen to draw a sober breath today, because that is the only way I will ever get my soul back.I am a woman who became a widow before I became a wife.I am a woman who is blessed with the notion that there's something better inside me, and that no matter what you do, or where you go, you will never, ever meet anyone on this planet who is like me.

My Interests

Irish History & Politics, History in general, sociolinguistics, music, San Francisco

I'd like to meet:

Good people with good hearts and a wicked sense of humour.Also, Debbie Gibson and the little girl who played Small Wonder. I'm pretty sure that she really IS a robot.I want to be a robot. Or a zombie.

Music:

Punk rock (old UK & Orange County), Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Irish rebel, and a whole lotta other stuff.

Movies:

Shaun of the Dead!!! Best movie EVER!! Also Bloody Sunday, Some Mother's Son, In the Name of the Father.

I'm not gonna say because you'll all laugh at me. No really, it would totally be like a case of you calling your friends to laugh at me.
