I am here for Friends

About Me

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, HOT DANG!! What a ride!"

My Interests

Passions: my dogs, traveling, writing, poetry, playing the piano, rain, autumn, hiking, being kind to the little people, eating chocolate chip cookie dough. And one really really sexy guy.

I'd like to meet:

All my fascinating MySpace friends.

Music:

U2, INXS, OMD, Baaba Maal (most African music), Icicle Works, Simple Minds, Midday Moon, (any good jazz), Tears For Fears,...and lots more. I love listening to new music!

Movies:

Harold and Maude, The Dead, My Cousin Vinny, The Piano, Home Alone II, True Lies, Rattle and Hum, The Scarlett Pimpernel, Bad Medicine, Sahara...and many more

Television:

Not much into TV.

Books:

Anything by Barbara Kingsolver, Edwin Way Teale, Clive Cussler, Isak Dinesen, Pablo Neruda, Nuala O'Faolain, Gerald Durrel, ...ok the list is actually endless.

Heroes:

Anyone who's trying to make a difference in this world. And I don't mean Osama Bin Laden.
