About Me

Rub me, smudge me, smear me, taint me Do what you can but you can't get me out. I'm like the sky that always shines, even behind the clouds and the rain I remain, ever present in your atmosphere, Soaking up the truths that lie behind Your metaphors, seemingly undetected, Yet floating to the surface like tiny Bubbles that burst when you touch them.

My Interests

Reading, music, cultural events, art in any form, feminism, spiritualism... I don't really do the bar/club scene anymore (I'm claustrophobic in my old age, and the smoke makes my allergies flare), but I love seeing live bands play! Typically, though, I prefer more one-on-one interaction, with only a friend or two, either talking about current events, or discussing books and movies...

I'd like to meet:

Other wandering souls such as myself... oh, and Joss Whedon because I think he's a genius. :)

Music:

Dar Williams, Fisher, Tori Amos, Aimee Mann, Jack Johnson, Garbage, Mahler, Verdi, Debussy, Bartok, Ben Folds, Billy Joel, The Cranberries, Leah Andreone, Counting Crows, Casting Crowns, Natalie Grant, Nicole Nordamen, Caroline's Spine, All About Eve, Anna Nalick, Barenaked Ladies, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Concrete Blonde, Enya, The Donnas, Fleetwood Mac, Loreena McKennitt, Poe, Train, Indigo Girls, Morcheeba, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Bree Sharp, Gershwin, John Williams, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Carmina Burana, Groove Lilly... to name a few... :)

Movies:

The Princess Bride, 10th Kingdom, Memento, Lady and the Tramp, The Dark Crystal, anything Tarentino, LOTR, The Last Unicorn, Casablanca, I also LOVE scary movies... especially the old ones - Nightmare on Elm St series, Friday the 13th series, Night of the Living Dead (original b&w), The Ring, Skeleton Key, House on Haunted Hill, Psycho, etc, etc...

Television:

I try not to admit to liking TV shows very often, because then they get taken away by stupid network goobs. Angel, Firefly, Tru Calling - 3 of my favorites, may they R.I.P. :)Currently, I watch Gray's Anatomy, House, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Smallville, and Supernatural. I also love The Office but it's showtime conflicts with too many other shows... grrr...I've also seen the first 2 seasons of Farscape, and am hoping to start on season 3 soon, once I get my boyfriend addicted... great show! :)

Books:

I am a book whore. Beware of lending me books because I tend to have more respect for books than for people in general so chances are you will never see the book again. Dickens' Tale of Two Cities is my all-time favorite book. I'll read anything by Stephen King, Robin McKinley, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Anne McCaffrey, E.A. Poe, Shakespeare, Douglas Adams, Piers Anthony, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carrol, Terry Goodkind, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, R.A. Salvatore, Fritz Lieber, J.R.R. Tolkien, I also love the Harry Potter series as well as anything written by Jennifer Weiner.

Heroes:

Anyone who can live in today's maniacal society and remain un-cynical.
