Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History ...

About Me


MyGen Profile Generator
You would think after 30+ years I could fill out this section, but I'm still a work in progress. I've heard that my forties will be a time of revelation so keep checking back. I can tell you that I prefer Coke to Pepsi and cottage cheese and fruit should never mix. I believe sarcasm is an art form and witty is sexy. Topless men and people who drag their feet when they walk irritate me. I believe that all bodies are beautiful. And while I do not wear colored contacts, I haven't seen my natural hair color in over 15 years. I am a bleeding heart liberal and pagan and I still believe in the power of the vote.

My Interests

* History
* Roadtrips
* Trivia
* Nerd Nights
* Beer
* Saving the World
* Game Nights
* Mascara
* Chocolate Consumption (preferaby with caramel)
* Music
* Theatre
* The English, The Scottish, The Irish, and all the other "sh" people in the region.
and a whole host of other crap.

I'd like to meet:

People with something interesting to say. Personally, I prefer to talk politics and religion. It makes it easier to weed out the wackos. Speaking of wackos ... if your message to me contains any of the following phrases: "spank me," "can I watch," "let me holla at ya," "nice rack," or "please mistress ... anything you say mistress" please do not expect a kind response.
Oh yeah and I'd like to meet Kevin Smith and Eddie Izzard ... if you run into either of them tell them I wanna buy 'em a drink and bullshit for a couple of hours.

adopt your own virtual pet! ..

Music:

I sing/shake my hips/groove to the following artists (in no particular order or genre):
* Ella Fitzgerld
* AC/DC
* John Legend
* The Fratellis
* Etta James
* Bob Marley

* Sweet Honey in the Rock
* Led Zeppelin
* The Andrews Sisters
* Stevie Wonder
* James Taylor
* Depeche Mode
* James Brown
* The Beatles
* Billie Holliday

... as well as cheesy rock ballads and any rock/pop song with a sax solo (a la The Heights). Yes I find saxophones incredibly sexy. Oh and cellos ... cellos are sexy. Wow ...I think I would actually pass out if I ever heard a duet between the two.
... I also feel I must admit that 80s metal and hair bands are a guilty pleasure (i.e. Whitesnake, Winger, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Danzig, oh this could just get downright embarrassing)
... and all forms of modern rock, old punk, and new wave stuff in the 80s (or whatever the hell we called it back then.

Movies:

*Monty Python and the Holy Grail
* Shakespeare in Love
* The Quiet Man
* Hollywood Shuffle (Blaaaaaack Acting Schooooool)
* Beerfest & Supertroopers
* Sleeping Beauty
* The Indiana Jones Triology (ok except maybe Temple of Doom ... Kate Capshaw irks the crap out of me)
* Say Anything
* Better Off Dead
... Ok any John Cusack movie (what can I say? He's Dreamy)
* Dogma
* Chasing Amy
... ok ... make it any Kevin Smith movie
* Sense and Sensibility
* The Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes 4-6)
* Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz
* The Sandlot
* Lord of the Rings Triology (wow I never realized I had such a thing for trilogies)
... mmm let me get back to you on the rest

Television:

Rare is the moment when I have time to watch TV. That said, I do make time for CSI and LOST. Yes - I have a theory and NO - I won't share it with you ...Ooh and I have recently been turned on to The Tudors .... mmmmm yummy!

Books:

I have yet to find a book funnier and more entertaining than "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christoher Moore. Other favorites include: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Almost a Revolution, Mark Twain's Essays, The Poetry of Byron, Juvenal's Satires, 1066 and All That, and all manner of history texts ... yeah - I'm a nerd .... so what?

Heroes:

All those who continue to speak out against oppression and violence despite the pressure to be silent.
"Speak your mind even if your voice shakes"
