I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm an old mom who you might find boring. I used to be a wild girl, but my pregnancy and the following birth of my sweet little boy, Jacob Clyde--named after Jake Schuster (R.I.P.) and the bar, J. Clyde's--has tamed me. I love being a mom, and Jake is the most important thing in my life. People generally either love me or hate me...and I kind of like that about myself! I can be difficult to understand, and it seems to take a certain kind of person to appreciate some--or most--of my quirks. I've been a vegetarian (though not vegan) since August, 1991. I'm a big believer in karma (although I'm not a fucking hippie). And--last but not least--I think I'm the only person left in the world who doesn't have a tattoo.

My Interests

Jacob Clyde, my dog (Daphne), my ferret (Kitty), music, bands, people-watching and making fun of strangers. I also like: animals, taking pictures, bowling (even if I suck and hardly ever go), sleeping, and baking. I'm also a Twin Peaks freako and love Winnie the Pooh. I am a chapstick freak and it is my goal to collect every flavor in the world (especially the strange ones). I also enjoy limited edition candy bars, Twizlers (I've been addicted to the rainbow twists lately), and Red Vines (just like Alice Cooper!).

I'd like to meet:

Someday I'd like to meet Jesus and His Father. Oh...and I'd like to party with the guys from Cancerslug. (That would be super-cool, though I'd be the biggest dork ever!) I am also up for meeting cool new people who DON'T have active drug and/or alcohol problems. (Nothing personal, but I have already reached my lifetime quoto for that kind of drama in my life.)

Music:

Punk (especially HORROR PUNK and moldy-oldies from the 90s), Oldies, Hardcore, 80s, Whatever. Cancerslug (my all-time favorite), Against Me, Al Green, Frank Black, The Pixies, Coheed & Cambria, Jets to Brazil, Frank Sinatra, Misfits, NOFX, Dwarves, Johnny Cash, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, Billy Idol, Mister Monster, Son of Sam, Blitzkid, NWA, The Ever Dead, Eminem, The Business, Social Distortion, Propaghandi, Quiet Riot, David Bowie, Jawbreaker, Vandals, Mike Ness, Samiam, Vindictives, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, About the Fire, and almost any cheap punk compilation, etc., etc., etc. Anyone with similar tastes have any suggestions? I'd really like to find some cool new bands (or old bands I haven't discovered yet) to get into.

Movies:

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Shawn of the Dead, Butterfly Effect, 50 First Dates, Reservoir Dogs, Dogma, Natural Born Killers, Old School, Who's Your Daddy?, There's Something About Mary, Say It Isn't So, Super Troopers, Iron Giant, Return Of The Living Dead, Blazing Saddles, House of 1,000 Corpses, Shrek, High Fidelity, Finding Nemo, Oh, Brother Where Art Thou, Brain Candy, Heathers, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, Better Off Dead, Requiem to a Dream, Joe Dirt, A Clockwork Orange, Secret of Nimh, The Dark Crystal, Never Ending Story, Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Christmas Story, and all of the old traditional holiday claymation and animated movies.

Television:

Except for the old Twin Peaks series, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Jerry Springer, I used to hate tv. Now that I'm a mom and have a DVR (so I'm not limited to the times in the tv guide), I'm a tv junky. Some of my other favorites are: Heroes, A Haunting, Prison Break, House, The Office, The Sarah Silverman Program, Hell's Kitchen (is that going to be on again this summer?), Maury, Ghost Hunters, Meerkat Manor (why haven't there been new episodes?), My Name is Earl, Wife Swap, Trading Spouses, History's Mysteries, and Decoding the Past. I mostly watch FOX, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel and Animal Planet (I'm getting old). Sometimes I also get suckered into the kids shows (like Jack's Big Music Show and The Wonder Pets) Jake watches.

Books:

Dr. Suess

Heroes:

Jacob Clyde, Winnie the Pooh, Cancerslug, Jerry Masterson, and Jesus. (NOTE: Not necessarily in that order!)

Good ole Double-Dickin Squishin'

Okay&so I'm not perfect.  I have no problems admitting that, or admitting when I fuck-up.  Perfection is blasphemous anyhow.  Regardless, my intentions are good and I aim to be a better...
