About Me

i get up at 5am to harvest beetroots and berries. my ducks have names and my chickens have short life expectancies. my bees are a source of pride and wonder. i pop wheelies on the tractor. i spend my off time wearing heels and girlie skirts; but my favorite outfit happens to be my work clothes. i am a biodynamic gardener, and i LOVE my life!it's as ecclectic as my interests and i would have it no other way. it gets stressful at times, but that is the price i must pay for kick-ass memories and stories for the grandkids.let's see: if i watch a scary movie i will have nightmares. i am highly competitive. i can't handle being chased. i am known to daydream and start singing/humming- anywhere/anytime (feminist theory classes...). i can tickle myself. i'm not as lighthearted as i often appear. i spend all my money on organic foods. i laugh- a lot. i can't get away with lying or talking shit. i am clumsy- and i will probably spit on you at some point. i love grits. i judge quickly, and if you misplace apostrophes i will hate you a little bit. i eat fruits and vegetables like they're going out of style. i want to live on the beach; not at or near, but ON. i don't have a favorite anything. i dance wherever there is space, no music needed. i will splash in puddles. i hate categorizing things. i cannot hang a picture straight. i believe in everything- mermaids, aliens, fairies, the grassy knowl, bring it on- it all makes life more interesting! you will never really know me.

My Interests

chocolate. scotch tape. geekiness. slang from around the world. swearing, especially the dubbed swear words - motha crusha! dancin- dancin-dancin- i'm a dancin machine, watch me get down, watch me get down! enjoying life (not cause it's so great and easy, but because what other option do i have). beekeeping (no, really), agriculture and bettering the world... ha... i'm such a giver... you should call me jonas...

I'd like to meet:

my husband- aka mos def. amy and david sedaris. ya mom. myself.

Music:

tisra dewitt, all who have not heard her yet should do so before the end of the hour. maya morales, the best opera singer ever created. snowpatrol. modest mouse. mos def. nouvelle vasgue. cake. billy holiday. aimee mann. fiona apple. gotan project. the shins. bach. wilco. the radio, i love me some radio. and everything else.

Movies:

any recording of eddie izzard or wanda sykes. the station agent. vertical ray of the sun. garden state. singin' in the rain. napolean dynamite. dirty dancing (i know, i know, but there is no reasoning with the heart).

Television:

i don't have tv. however i do remember loving arrested development, the funniest shit on tv, and noone knew about it. curb your enthusiasm. strangers with candy (amy sedaris is a genius). the daily show, but who doesn't love laughing with mo rocca and the crew? and Def Poetry on HBO- that show alone kept me paying premium rates for television. and spaced. my only true love from my stint in the british isles.

Books:

too many to count, really. if i started i would never stop. i love to read like i love water with lime. don dilillo. david sedaris. just read a great book Love Story, by erich segal. the kind of book that you're just going along reading and then all of a sudden you realize that you are weeping. so good. steiner, though he makes my head hurt and my world rock, so it is a bit at a time. and everyone really needs to read The Brothers K. now.

Heroes:

my siblings: through all the fuckedupedness, we are still going...we must be some strong ass bitches- even the boy- since we're not dead yet. dr. damon west and anyone who does what is needed- no matter what.
