"In real life...I feel pretty good about it!"

About Me

My goal in life is to keep it real. I like black and white photography (and hope to be selling my own photos soon), abstract art, and almost anything vintage. One day i want to open my own vintage clothing store.I take Argentine Tango classes every week. I am a radio d.j.and I used to sing in a punk band called TYBER STRYKE. Now I sing with my friend Jake who plays every instrument in the world. We play at the nursing home where I also volunteer weekly. I just started singing for a new band called Telly and the Red Ants. I crochet when it isn't 800 degrees outside. I recently got a typewriter from the year 1964, and have been doing alot of creative writing, and such.One of my favorite movies, (if I had to pick just one), would be The Labyrinth.

My Interests

abstract painting, black and white photography, vintage stuff, writing, singing, crocheting,cooking, going to shows, hanging out with elderly people, sitting in my kitchen and staring at the mountain, while smoking, drinking coffee, and listening to records, dancing, and seeking the thrill. I often try to do a thorough interpretation of my dreams when i wake up. I like Walking downtown with headphones on. Oh yeah, and sometimes people allow me to cut their hair because i cut my own. Sometimes you win and other times you wear a bandana for a while.I have a hot pink guitar, and want to learn how to play it, too. I recently learned some chords, which is awesome. Soon i could maybe play a song. Sitting at coffee shops is what i do these days. Boardgames and cards games are great. Sometimes i read, too. it is rare, though. I have a video camera that i make people uncomfortable with at parties and everywhere i go. i don't use it as much as i used to. I love dancing in front of oscilating fans.

I'd like to meet:

people who rock!

Movies:

I don't really want to pick one favorite, so I'm gonna list my top 80 billion instead! Valley Girl, The Labyrinth, Wet Hot American Summer, Better Off Dead,The Sure Thing,Say Anything,Grosse Point Blank,Just Like Heaven,Paper Moon, Guys and Dolls,Grease, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barefoot in the park,The Royal Tenenbaums, I Heart Huccabees, Oliver, The Wizard of Oz, Rock and Roll Highschool, For Keeps, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Summer of Sam, Thelma and Louise, Reality Bites, Jumping Jack Flash, Happenstance, Amelie,White Christmas,Roman Holiday, Some Like It Hot, Our Man Flint, In Good Company,Paris Je'Teme,The Farmers Daughter, Ghost World,the Odd Couple, His Girl Friday, Crocodile Dundee, Overboard, Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas, the Great Muppet Caper, etc.

Television:

Okay, so I like T.V Land , Comedy Central, and Adult Swim, But I'm such a sucker for Lifetime Television for Women,Paula Deans cooking show, The Golden Girls, Designing Women, Heroes, Sex and the City,Kids in the Hall, Alf, Saved By The Bell, Wonder Years,Pete and Pete, Solute Your Shorts, Leave it to Beaver,Bewitched, I Love Lucy, David the Knome,Space Ghost Coast to Coast,Cartoon Planet,Full House, etc. I don't have cable, but I did when I was younger. When I happen to be watching tv thats what I watch, or used to watch. I like watching Yacht Rock on youtube.

Books:

S.E. Hinton's "The "Outsiders", "Rumble Fish", and "That Was Then This is Now" are all really good books. Her writing makes me want to be a greaser. A book everyone should read is The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. i read dream books as well.

Heroes:

Cyndi Lauper has been my hero since I was like 11. When I was little I wanted to marry Buddy Holly, but my dad told me that he was dead, and I cried. If I could be any super hero I would be Shera. I think she could probably kick HeMan's ass if she tried.On a more realistic level, both of my Grandmothers are incredible women that I love spending time with and hope that I may hold some of thier best qualities. I now have a psuedo grandma named Velma that I think very highly of as well.
