About Me

"She lived without much thought for the future. She made do with what she had, enjoyed her friends, and always lived a notch or two this side of too much hope. Those who knew her would describe her as happy more than not, but because her interests were moderate in a world gone mad with desire, they for the most part considered her strangely out of step with reality."
-Richard Stine
Other assorted factoids
- I enjoyed my childhood, for example:
Festive...
Contemplative [Dad took this. Pretty cool? Duh.]
- I am an almost consummate klutz.
- I love arpeggios, and most things that kind of echo back to resolution.
- I talk like a scientist or a lawyer most days, most of the time.
- I highly recommend being courted. I'd always hoped that it would happen for me, and then it started happening - it totally lives up to the hype.
- I wear a fair amount of jewelry, and almost never take off my rings.
- I love babies. Holding a baby makes my day. I'm not saying this because I'm deluding myself that it makes me special, just honest.
- I knit. Scarves mostly ...well, only.
- I am pseudo-neurotic about moisturization.
- There are books that I want to live in.
- I am practical and rational, but it's been part of a learning process. If you think that I am not a very romantic person then you don't know me very well.
- I have good love. I've found that as my affection for him grows, my capacity to adequately express how much this is true for me seems more and more limited by my only language. This boy makes me exceedingly happy, and thus, is dear to my heart[read: Sarah is "head over heels", as the saying goes.]:
- I can cop to my own B.S. I can call it in others.
- Anthropology. 'Nuff said there, I speak it most of the time.

My Interests



Follow through. Music, politics, anthropology, whimsy. Passions, My friends and their passions. Humor, affection, gifts (material/immaterial), positive declarations, multi-lingualism. And out of nowhere a profound love of well-played soccer (football/futbol.)

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can explain to me the purpose of this "who I'd like to meet" section. That said, I'll just go with my general list.
A. A muse.
B. One true love. (Done and done. I like meeting him many places.)
C. Corky St. Claire.
D. A new and improved relationship to managing money (...hahahahaha, oh man.)
E. A nonviolent future.

Regarding the last bit, I always enjoy meeting anyone that makes his/her life a contribution to the world by helping to raise global awareness and the standard by which all people live.

Music:

I play guitar for my friends, but never "perform." If you're lucky and I'm in the mood I'll sing to you, but it's generally a surprise, abeit a nice one.

Movies:

Watch those.

Television:

I'm undecided. I agree with the whole "KILL YOUR TV" idea. HOWEVER, when I have the time, I don't mind watching TV. I don't know which stand to take without feeling like a hypocrite.

Books:

Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Shopgirl, Jane Eyre, Bel Canto, Harry Potter(the series), Their Eyes Were Watching God, and pretty much anything written by Roald Dahl and David Sedaris.

Heroes:

Beyond Prince Charming right here:
...and all for valid and different reasons: Jim Henson, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Bonnie Raitt, Peter Cook, Anne Bancroft, Dudley Moore, Ani Difranco, my Dad, Honorary Uncle Mike, Harry Potter, Eddie Izzard, Lucinda Williams, Jon Stewart, my Mom, my friends... etc. I am open to having many heroes, the world is more magical this way.
Especially my cousin Deegan (to your left), for this and so many other reasons:
And now for more of the same...
I like aquariums... I battle sharks on the side. I dunno, all in a day's work I s'pose.
Then I chillax with the homies. I'm a badass mammajamma, you know how we do.
Oh the lovely Lau and I ("Get out of my head!")
In pseudo-submarine boat thing. Geez there are a lot of fish on this page so far...
This is a demonstration of the bulldog face, Sarah is clearly better at it.

Three complimentary glasses of champagne later, it does appear to be a truly Happy New Year. "2006 year of...[you fill in the blank]!"
Another of Chloe's Birthday's. Allison, Deegan, Me, and the glow of all the fun.
Brother + Me + Berkeley Rugby Field = good times.

Crystal and Efram steal - yet another - kiss. Yeah, he's a regular pint-sized Romeo. Shameless.

Riley, me.

Riley, me, part 2.
