Nature's Most Erotic Mistake

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
it was a dark and stormy mid-winter night. the woman's womb clenched painfully, and she startled upright in bed, the mattress suddenly damp (and not in the fun way). it was too soon, and she felt the fractured flicker of panic as she reached for the nightstand, fumbling to turn on the light. the lamp jerked, shattered, her husband woke with a muffled shout of alarm as suddenly she twisted, screaming, almost mindless: it wanted out, and it was chewing...*shrug* ok, so i originally signed up for myspace after some kind of spat with my mother. the way we get along half the time you'd think this was the true story of my birth... and my somewhat bluer and more scaly alter-ego had to come from somewhere....AND NOW FOR MY RENDITION OF THE MOST COMMON MYSPACE SURVEY EVER:
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey

My Interests

reading, music, travel, natural sciences, mythology, animals, movies, dining, language(s), trying to convince myself i can cook, researching various interests and art projects, genealogy, scuba diving, hanging on to my spot in the time/space continuum.

I'd like to meet:

if you can give a really good massage, turn dirt into money and rocks into pizza you are definitely right up at the top of my list. smart-asses, travellers, readers, firefighters, astronauts, punked out geeks, musicians, writers, scientists, tribal activists, people who don't capitalize every other letter, worldbeaters who don't take themselves too seriously, stay at home moms, kung-fu masters, people who can teach me to fly, freakishly tall people, freakishly anything people, people with nifty accents, anybody who thinks for themselves and can make me laugh. and, of course, monkeys.

Music:

jazz, blues, alternative, indie, funk, punk, disco, classical, opera, rockabilly, etc. etc. etc. if it's decently played and excercised with some passion, chances are i might like it.

Movies:

in no particular order other than off the top of my head: serenity, alice in wonderland, meet the feebles, happiness, impromptu, bound, the yellow submarine, south park, being john malkovich, spike & mike's, secretary, donnie darko, heathers, office space, bubba hotep, raising arizona, labyrinth, princess bride, LOTR, wizard of oz, evil dead, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, rosencrantz & guildenstern are dead, a dirty shame, but i'm a cheerleader, shallow grave, eraserhead, alien(s), rocky horror picture show...to begin with.

Television:

doctor who, red dwarf, farscape, firefly, buffy, dead like me, the office, weeds, big love, deadwood, the sopranos, family guy, adult swim, surgeries & autopsies on the learning channels, mythbusters, coupling, futurama, Invader ZIM...i don't actually do the tv thing anymore, but netflix is my friend.

Books:

confessions of a bookworm... couldn't possibly list all my favorite books here. fav. genres: lit./fiction, science fiction, poetry, fantasy, history, mythology, zoology/ethology, erotica, mysteries. currently reading: radio on -sarah vowell. last few read: the goat/who is sylvia?-edward albee, love is a dog from hell -charles bukowski, holidays on ice -david sedaris, the bohr maker -linda nagata, the folklore of love and marriage, lamb: the gospel according to biff -christopher moore, AIR -geoff ryman, collected works of anne sexton, little birds -anais nin.

Heroes:

stephen hawking. jane goodall. cleopatra. medusa. the man in black from the princess bride. morticia. the tick. the vagina dentata. whoever finally gets around to assassinating george w. my heroes can beat up your heroes.
