Fresh discoveries still beckon...

About Me

It's sad that I actually have to mention this, but dooood - say something to me... before you ask me to add you as a friend - I'm not down for collecting anonymous people's pretty pictures, magazines do the trick for that...

My Interests

..

Sewing/fashion design, decayed opulence, dance, electricity & l.e.d.s., peacock feathers, sandwiches, sparkle, graphic design, India, experimental dance, did I mention dance? Thigh highs, Alphonse Mucha, sex-shoes, spinach, .attention to detail, friends I can call family, secret gardens, The color gunmetal, Fresh Air, Hiking, teaching, Tim Hawkinson, mythology, purple iris, 1920's, honesty.

I'd like to meet:

..people with beautiful souls

Music:

Mochipet, Vas, RamaSutra, Sarah Vaughan, Missy Elliot, Sirocco, Solace, Lisa Gerrard ( I hate the dude that used to sing with her) Outkast, Snakeriverconspiracy, Natacha Atlas, NIN, Dido, Venetian Snares, Dj Shadow, Portishead and many more, but thats all i have time for tonight...

Television:

Don't really watch it, (maybe once every 2-3 weeks if that?) but if I do I like TLC a little VH1 or MTV(only reaaal late at night when they actually show videos) and HBO because I hate to admit it, but they make great television. I really dug that carnival show they had going -what happened to it?

Books:

I work part time at the library, so this changes day to day: Right now I'm reading books on how to make sexy curtains - you laugh, but I need some for my room... just finished reading "geek love" one of the best books Ive read in a long time...

Heroes:
