About Me

I make my home in the beautiful city of Chicago. If you know me, then you know how much I love summer and living right near Lake Mich. I don't even want to THINK about January!! On first glance, you wouldn't think that I would like Heavy Metal.. but, yes, I am a Metal Chick at heart, with a particular fondness for the mighty Judas Priest. I'm always up for good theatre, particularly a bloody Shakespearean tragedy, as well as a good laugh- "Seinfeld" never fails to crack me up. I love being in the outdoors, hiking, camping,& rock climbing.I'm not afraid of spiders, snakes, mice, or bears! I love my two cats- Scout and August- who share my space and bring me great joy each and every day.

My Interests

Music, animals, nature, staying in shape, Shakespeare, theatre, travel, meeting new friends and nurturing old ones.

I'd like to meet:

Creative, kind and intelligent people with a good sense of humour, who are in possession of a good bullsh*t detector. A little bit of sarcasm thrown in for good measure doesn't hurt either!

Music:

Judas Priest. Dio, Queensryche, Ian Gillan, Iron Maiden - but I am not a music snob. I love all sorts of music. My fantasy lead singer line-up would be- Halford, Dio, Tate, Dickinson and Gillan-they could sing anything, it wouldn't even matter!

Movies:

From the sublime to the ridiculous... whatever suits my mood at the moment.

Television:

"Seinfeld" -best show ever.. "Carnivale", "Deadwood" and "Rome" for their exquisite use of language.

Books:

Yes, I have lots of them and I plan on reading them when the bitter cold darkness of winter descends upon us!

Heroes:

Not heroes, but with love and admiration... Mom, Dad ( I miss you so much sometimes)You raised three daughters to be good, compassionate people, and who put up with listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "I Wanna Rock and Roll all Night" without complaint...OK... maybe just a LITTLE!
