I am actually in Santa Fe!

About Me

The following quote from Amelia Earhart explains a lot about where I am right now. “Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.” I am in the process of finding my state of peace. This seems to involve lots of great friends, laughter, joy, sorrow, and learning. It’s all about the simple things right now.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 .. ..

My Interests

• Lunch boxes • Yoga • The farmers market and the smell of roasting green chilies • Cooking and trying to convince someone else to help clean up • Cross-cultural shoe comparison (yes people do look at your shoes) • Hiking without leaving a trail of bread crumbs • Drinking (beer, gin, tea, water, soy milk, I don’t know things that aren’t gross) • Netflicks.... mmm bad Bollywood musicals and documentaries rule • Knitting (and attempting not to get tangled in yarn) • The salsa and African dancing
You are Mohair. You are a warm and fuzzy type who works well with
others, doing your share without being too
weighty. You can be stubborn and absolutely
refuse to change your position once it is
set, but that's okay since you are good at
covering up your mistakes.

What kind of yarn are you?

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Liz Phair and get a lesson on being an indie rock diva… Nigela Lawson for some domestic goddess tips… and hang out with Matthew Sweet so he could sing me a sugary pop song.If god was some sort of physical entity then it would be cool to experience that too… but I am not really sure if that is how the divine works anyway. People who like to ride bikes are good too...

Music:

Elvis Costello, Amie Mann, Wilco, Amy Winehouse, Mew, Mika, PJ Harvey, Jack Johnson, The Gords, Ani Difranco, Magnetic Fields, Nancy, Lucinda Williams, Pat Green, Carbon Leaf, Beck, BJORK, Kean, The Pixes, Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, Cibo Matto, Willie Nelson, The Shins, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s, The Happy Bullets, Hot Hot Heat, Decemberists, Soular, Nostoros, and there are tons more.

Movies:

I watch really odd things that I get from Netflix. They seem to be a mix of Bollywood Musicals, odd documentaries on Spelling Bees-other mundane topics and movies that make you think. Although, my favorite movie is still Amelie, I can’t seem to find anything that tops the ideals of love interspersed with garden gnomes, photo booths, and scooters.

Television:

I have pretty much given up TV for Netflicks… although I will still watch the occasional piece of network garbage and that 70’s show re-runs… alas I am weak and can’t quite quit TV all together.

Books:

Their Eyes Were Watching God, Portrait in Sepia, James and the Giant Peach, Song of Solomon, 100 Years of Solitude, The Red Tent, Tales of the City the whole series, The Mammy, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Wicked, The Life of Pi (Some unnecessary goat violence :( in this one) and I am reading the history of the world in six glasses and the dam GMAT study book, which is more doing math than reading..

Heroes:

My Mom (she just rules but is quite insane), Mrs. Moore my 5th Grade Teacher, God, my dog Mocha and my cat Captain Maximum Sunggles.

My Blog

Embracing my inner grumpy cat lady sort of

I feel like I am being so sensitive about things and a bit illogical. Here I am at home moping about after being gone for at least half of the last three weeks. I should probably call someone and go o...
