other than music, i luv traveling, road trips, music festivals, printmaking, photography, yoga, rockclimbing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, driving my audi, the stars...
...and i love soy chai, mangos, sweet potatoes, cream puffs (if only they could make a vegan version), the LA phenomenon Pinkberry, the color PURPLE, and anything this is sparkly or in the shape of a star (what am I, 5??!)...
I'd like to meet:
those who are: music lovers, music makers, plagued with wanderlust (aka jetsetters), blessed with shoe and shopping fetishes, european car aficiandos, event organizers, marketing gurus, creative-to-the-max, snowboarders, surfers, skateboarders, yoginis, sunbathers, outdoorsy-types...anyone who can tell it like it is ...just be cool with the raging Leo that I am...
Music:
i love to sing, to dance, to move, and to unknowingly create a soundtrack to my own life by humming along to the rhythm of whatever surrounds me. music is my boyfriend...
electronic, ambient, and dance grooves are a secret passion, hiphop has got the dope beats, and symphonies make me soar. i .. improv music jams, especially when it involves drums, guitar, keys and bass...

(check out the soundtracks for the first two...)
Television:
i would be quite content with never watching network tv again. however, i have been known to occasionally settle down (usually in dvd format) in front of some of the finest in american television drama: 24, Arrested Development, Entourage, Flipping Out, Freaks and Geeks, the Hills, Nip/Tuck, The OC, The Office, Seinfeld, Sex in the City, Six Feet Under, South Park, Strangers with Candy, Weeds...i rarely watch the tele alone. AND everyone knows that if you insist on watching televised sports, please people, at least put it on mute!
Books:
authors: Roald Dahl, Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Klosterman, Lewis Caroll, and the dear old Theodore Guisel (aka Dr Suess). A recent read for me: Flowers for Algernon (thx Scott) and the Alchemist (thx Joel)... I think I am ready to start reading again...
Heroes:
me Mum and Dad kick-ass--I gave them a hard time through my younger years, and yet they still had the gusto to get me out into the world...I also give mad props to both my sisters, as they can relate to that experience as well...
Wonder Woman, Miss Piggy, and Cheetara (ThunderCats) are also pretty damn cool.
if you know what you want out of life, you can be my hero.
