About Me

***NAMASTE***
I am definitely part country-mouse, part city-mouse. I grew up in the middle of the cornfields in Illinois, so I appreciate small-town courtesies and simple, honest living. But the free spirit in me desires diversity and culture. I am ultra-curious about all aspects of the human spirit, and what makes people tick. I constantly and continuously strengthen my sense of "self", mostly by learning by and from others. I am utterly fascinated by people; their speech patterns, way they walk, interactions with others, etc. My acting training and fascination with psychology and sociology has created a lot of those obsessions! I’m also a total sucker for anyone who can make me laugh.
I have copious amounts of creative energy, for which I have many outlets. I do a little bit of a lot of things to curb my appetite; paint, draw, sew, write, act, dance, sing…You know, all that typical “artsy” crap. I thrive on it, and I thrive on those with similar virtuosity. I enjoy all aspects of design; interior design, fashion, music, graphics, cinematography. Simply put, I like things that look cool and function well. I also really like working with my hands. I often feel like, “If I can see it in my head, I can make it…somehow”!
Ummm...What else? Well...I like to do lots of stuff. I'm uber crafty and shit, so I like to paint and draw and make stuff. I make jewelry as a hobby and for money, if I can. I like to read and listen to music and dance and watch tv and put on mascara and sleep and eat and do cartwheels and act like a fool. Damn, I dunno. All things interest me. The freakier, the better.
Thankfully, I love my job. I get to help people realize their spiritual potential, which, in turn, helps me to grow. I seriously learn something new and amazing everyday, which has aided in my own personal evolution.

..Weird people, smart people, funny people, shiny things, leg warmers, things of an artistic nature, trees, dance music, kissing, strange and/or often used words & phrases, making jewelry, sushi, funny voices, good comedians, nice bed linens, cats, spirituality, fashion faux pas....Most things interest me, really.

Music:

I have an appreciation for all styles and genres. I love anything that makes me wanna move,inside and out. I also dig on some chill stuff. I like to shake my ass to some hip hop, roll my hips to some R & B, raise my hands to some rap, bounce to some reggae, play air fiddle to some bluegrass, close my eyes to some blues, tap my foot to some jazz, do some running man action to some 80's....and just bob my head to everything else. I just gotta throw on some Jackson 5 every now and again and I'll be happy.

Movies:

Amelie, Garden State, Lost in Translation, I Heart Huckabees, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Ice Storm, Living Out Loud, Reservoir Dogs, Life is Beautiful, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, CLUE, The Usual Suspects, The Big Chill, Napoleon Dynamite, Magnolia, Going Great White :-)Classic "comfort" movies: Breakfast Club, Waiting for Guffman, Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, The Big Lebowski, Babe, Goonies, Major League ..

Television:

Flight of the Conchords (new fave),This American Life, Six Feet Under, ROME, Deadwood, Weeds, Sopranos, Family Guy, Dead Like Me(which ended abruptly). Roseanne might be my all time fav show. Sadly, I can also get sucked in to reality crap. Some fav's include Last Comic Standing, Project Runway(which is the BOMB), So You Think You Can Dance, Iron Age(history channel)I also love chick stuff, like anything having to do with home design, DIY decoration, or reconstruction, What NOT to Wear, etc. ..

Books:

This is a hard one...there are so many books and plays that I love. I guess I will name some of my favorite authors; Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Bret Easton Ellis, David Sedaris...to name a few.Favorite Book: On the Road, Favorite Play: Lysistrata ..

I suppose it's time that I jumped on! I've been asked recently by my sister and many of my friends, "Why don't you ever blog"? I have a feeling that their subtext is really, "I have NO good reason to ...
