Dancer, romancer, ex- Charm City Rollergirls , vegetarian, childfree, motorcycle enthusiast, drummer.

I like to think that I'm pretty good about speaking my mind...

My Interests

driving my motorcycle, ASL (the language), vegetarian/vegan food, camping, rocking the fuck out, talking shit, taking naps, keanu reeves, dancing, ridiculously enormous sideburns, sewing, The Maryland Renaissance Festival, (it's outdoors... WHAT?), vinyl (as an audio medium), karaoke, horrible old movies, flirting (badly), big dogs, sweet cats, rodents with personality, crazy yet harmless people.

I'd like to meet:

I like to travel so I'm trying to meet people in other cities cause I will definitely need a place to crash when I arrive in your town.

I do have an interest in meeting someone who knows how to actually send a message before sending a friend request. Those people are rare!

Other people who own motorcycles that want to help me realize one of my life's goals... starting a bike gang.

People who won't get pissed off if I accidentally punch them in the neck...

and last but not least. a If his wife ever decides to leave him give this guy my number.

Music:

I love KISS and The Smiths. I like other old music. I like 70's rock, (early Judas Priest, Blue Oyster Cult, Queen, Motorhead) funk, (Al Green, Rick James, The Brothers Johnson, Chaka Khan, bands from the 60's, Simply Saucer, Silver Apples, psych, She, 80's pop, Ready For The World, JEM and the Holograms (They were the first all girl rock band that I knew about), Full Force, I have a few Nina Simone albums, I really enjoy The Cure and Depeche Mode, L7, Johnny Thunders, Billy Idol, The Smiths, Rush, ELO and even a little old school country.
