I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm reserved, easygoing, quiet, generous, a bit shy, loyal & I'll do anything for someone I care about. I have a tendency to be moody. It really all depends on the day or even the hour. I am friendly, approachable & have a silly side (when I'm comfortable enough with you). I do contradict myself alot...I change my mind constantly...I'm extremely indecisive. I am a listener & observer. I don't like to draw attention to myself. I don't like fussiness or phoniness.
I'm pretty boring & dull actually. Ask anyone I know...they'll tell you.
I am the mother of an awesome 5 year old boy. It's fun at times, difficult at others but always amazing.

My Interests

Photography, making jewelry, museums, art, napping, being a Mom, anthropology, archaeology, restoring and decorating my 100 year old home, antique shopping...well, shopping in general. I enjoy gardening & reading when I have time. I'd like to get back into writing.
I would love to learn to play the violin and piano. I have the instruments. It's just a matter of making the time to learn. I'm probably too old to learn, no?

I'd like to meet:

I love witty, sarcastic & quirky people. Those are the best kind. Anyone with similar interests. I like silly people, smart people & creative people.

Music:

There are simply too many to mention--to name a few: I like Coldplay, U2, Muse, Radiohead, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Broadcast, The Stone Roses, The Verve, Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, Filter, Nirvana and loads more.
I still love & listen to alot of 80's music (new wave, rock, alternative, some metal...).
The 60's was a great time for music. I like The Beatles and Motown artists in particular.
I like alot of Indie & unsigned bands, as well.

Movies:

I like many of the obvious 80's favorites. I also like period films and silent movies. I enjoy quirky comedies the best. 'Napolean Dynamite', for example. I like films with Tom Hanks, Robert Deniro, Johnny Depp and Drew Barrymore. I don't like horror movies.

Television:

I am a news junkie. I can't get enough.
There aren't too many new shows I like. I like & pine for the stuff I grew up on. I miss "The Wonder Years". Best show ever.

Books:

I don't get to read as often as I like or used to. Lately, I just thumb through magazines. A shame, I know.
I'm currently reading "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger again. It's an old favorite. I'm very fond of this book and the main character.
I am open to suggestions. Have you got a great book to recommend?

Heroes:

Jesus seems like a neat guy.

A LITTLE FYI ABOUT ME... I'm not addressing this because it matters--it doesn't but this always comes up with most people I encounter. People always try to guess my nationality...People guess everything from Spanish to Asian...it always comes up...Sorry, nothing real exotic in my veins. I wish I could say I did. Sometimes it's fun to play along, though. :)

Is it normal...

to lay awake at night and contemplate how to make yourself disappear? Not literally, of course. Kind of like 'running away'. Starting anew somewhere other than from where you came? Just wondering......

New York, NY

I have been to New York City countless times. Yet the excitement & wonder never fade. It's a great city...and with a lot of sentimental attachment, as well. My Uncle resided in the city and later ...
