Music, reading, exploring, making shit. Currently concentrating on remembering which end is up on my bass, looking for a job that doesn't suck the life out of me and exploring the idea of a new job/spending more time making silver jewelry and selling it.
I have been descibed as witty, moody, sarcastic, funny, strange, perverted and inscrutable. I can accept that. I like people who know how to and when to laugh and aren't afraid to laugh at the perverse. I can't live without music, books, or chocolate and I don't give a damn what strangers think of me but the opinion of my friends can make or break my day. Some people know me as "Rudegirl" or "Rudy" but if you bring that side out of me, your best bet is to skank or run. I am very, very good at living up to that moniker when provoked.
