Astrid

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative- Oscar Wilde

About Me

In a nutshell: "We were afraid of nothing and thumbed our noses at public opinion. . .The most outstanding characteristic of our Bohemian existence was our open revolt against all prejudices, I might say against all laws. We lived as if entrenched in a fortress from which we made belligerent sallies ridiculing everything.""If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."-Oscar WildeI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Theatre, opera, musical theatre, acting, performing arts, visual arts, poetry, hedonism, heresy, aesthetics, women that don't have issues, meditation, rock climbing, martial arts, massages.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet a flamenco dancer from Seville, travel the world watching her perform, marry her-- or, whatever. NOT have babies, mind you, then come back and live my happy single life again, with the accent of that interesting story. I'd also like to meet Lewis Black.

Music:

Shakira, Monica Naranjo, Mecano, Eros Ramazzotti, Tatu...before they were both barefoot and pregnant, I looove Sarah Brightman, Maria Callas, Vittorio, some reggae and techno.

Movies:

The Thomas Crown Affair, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Victor Victoria, Entrapment, Chicago the musical, x-men, Mulholland Drive, The Matrix, Tipping the Velvet, Philadelphia, Star!, V for Vendetta, Gia, and that...fabulous...fabulous Shakira concert..that dirty, dirty girl.

Television:

House, Queer as Folk (serious obsession), The L word, Reno 911 is freaking hilarious, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Ellen, Xena... lelele! Arrested Development... got cancelled, because of stupid people that don't appreciate minimalism... and Portia DeRosi on screen... or however the hell you spell her name... but the show was funny, is what I mean.

Books:

Differnt Hours and most of Stephen Dunn's poetry, The Funny Thing is, My point...and I do Have One, Annie on My Mind, Poe's satyre, and a bunch of non-fiction.
