I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i very much to like eating plums over the sink, encrusting cheap sunglasses with swarovski crystals, beautifying my lanai, running (preferably trails), costume making, manufacturing ideas and, yes, watching tv and drinking beer.
often times my facial expressions do not reflect my thoughts and feeling, which can be confusing for all involved parties. i'm the kind of person who isn't afraid to go to a party by herself and make up stories. lately, i've been suffering a wicked bout of self-imposed enui. i'm pretty good about maintaining friendships, even against the threat of distance. i'm nice to a fault, a terrible liar, a bit judgmental, genuinely interested in anything new, love to be right (if google says so, it must be true).
i'm kind of a dork and social retard, but once you get to know me... i don't BELIEVE in astrology, but i do consider it. if i'm not good at something right away, i tend to not want to do it...for instance, sports. i love the change of season and i miss that living in LA. i'm not tidy, but i'm clean, and i don't believe that all art is beautiful.
