About Me

I am currently in limbo - quit my jobs at OffBeat Magazine and The Bombay Club - am headed back to Texas to settle my grandmother's estate and then plan to return to New Orleans in the autumn. I am a writer, and artist, a documentary film maker. I am a poet, a fiction novelist who has yet to publish, an artist who uses trash to make works of art, a mix-breed Cherokee indian and Scottish highlander, a trumpet player who lost her talent to a windshield, a speaker of three languages - english, spanish and my first language, tagalog, though I dont remember much of it now. I am a avid environmentalist, a horder and re-user, a crier at movies and sunsets and dead birds, a drunken break dancer, lube wrestler, early morning opera singer, and occasionally, I am an amateur French chef.
Guys Like That You're Charming
You're the girl most guys can't get out of their heads
Even if they met you on a bad hair day :-)
You just seem to "click" with everyone you meet
So even if a guy forgets about you for a second... his friends haven't! What Do Guys Like About You? I scored a 70% on the "How New Orleans are You?" Quizie! What about you?
You scored as Green. The Green Party believes in an America where decisions are made by the people and not by a few giant corporations. Their environmental goal is a sustainable world where nature and human society co-exist in harmony.
