I am here for Friends

About Me


Hey YO!!! So here's how it all goes. I'm a momma, a wife, a volunteer, a pretty fun pool partner, a buddy and a runner. I've lived a pretty crazy life. I've toned down a bit but it's still crazy. I'm always going going going and have to be doing something. I'm a gemini, so my tastes go from one side to another. I love going thrift shopping. I get nervous when I hit the "mother load." Shoes! To me, certain shoes could end a world war at the sight of them. I love insane, crazy shoes. The freakier the better. Music is the center of it all. I have to be listening to music where ever I am. Growing up my mother was an opera singer, my father an acoustic guitar player, and step-father a jazz pianist. And somehow I emerged a goth-punk hippy. If that makes any sense. It makes perfect sense to me. So, my tastes in music are the same as someone being bipolar.
I love doing my collage artwork, and going to art galleries, which I don't go enough. I love photography. And, I feel more brave experimenting with it now. I love going out when possible with my husband and friends, gettin' our drink on, and seeing shows. And, I love entertaining people at our house. Having good conversation over music while cooking for friends is becoming more fun for me than going out. Don't get me wrong, I like to go out and get into trouble. But you come over, I'll pour you a glass of wine, we'll visit and maybe listen to some cool tunes and play some pool, or just hang out and watch a weird IFC movie. Anyway, I do what I do and I am who I am. And, I make no apologies for my past or who I have become.
Now, on a more domestic side, I love playing with my son and helping him with his school work. He seriously is the funniest person I know. He's just a really cool kid. And, I can't believe that I had a part in making such a beautiful thing. I also love playing with my dogs, Roxy and Lola.
Ah, and I forgot to add that I am a pirate and so is the rest of my family. And, I like hanging out with other pirates and doing piratey like things!
I don't own a ship yet. But, that isn't the important part to me. It's pretty much the attitude that you really need. But, if you happen upon a kick ass ship, give me a holler.
One of my favorite quotes:
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind
don't matter and those who matter don't mind."- Dr. Seuss-
Roxy and me
Lola
Sean and Me
This is a near perfect match to the car that Mr. S was driving when we just started dating. Down to the color and everything. The 1969 Chevy Nova. I fell in love with him while riding in that car. And, I cried when he made the decision to sell it. I think letting go of that car is one of his biggest regrets. One day I'll surprise him and buy him another one.

My Interests

I really do love this girl. Every song of hers is gorgeous. Adele

I was once asked in my boxing class if I was a 'Casper Wendy' or a 'Peter Pan Wendy' and before I could even answer, the lady said, "I bet you're a 'Peter Pan Wendy,' am I right?" She was right. I'm Peter Pan Wendy all the way.

WhateverLife.com people who don't take "no" for an answer, Domino playing, outlaws, rebels, and rejects, bras that don't hurt, a "frizz control" hair product that actually works, boxing, math haters, GLAM ROCK, play wrestling with my son or husband...actually anyone who wants to throw down,
vingtage t-shirt collections, plays, operas, and musicals, cleaning the house in me knickers, thumb wrestling and leg wrestling, making sexy time at 2am with Mr. S, the Sicilian style vineyard that sits behind our house amongst the advancement of more Starbucks and Home Depot's, cooking, cheesy eighties bands, watching ulitmate fighting, dancing till 5am, drinking random mixed drinks, SHOES, Goodwill, Thrift Town, Salvation Army, and the likes,
driving too fast, being captivated by infomercials in the middle of the night, really bad sci-fi movies, people watching in airports or government buildings, disco-drunk roller skating, costume required Halloween parties, decorating my fridge with unusual postcards, photos and magnets,
getting actual letters in the mail from friends or family, ice cream right out of the tub, old 1950's playgrounds with the really high swings that make you feel like you're flying, Mars bars, staying up all night to watch the sun rise, hair dye of all colors, coloring my hair or having someone color it, the smell of hair dye, the hair coloring process, people who don't buy into the lazy/fast-food society that we live in, peeing outside when I'm drunk, laughing uncontrollably, getting my hands dirty, visits to IHOP or Denny's on the shadey side of town after an all-nighter, 1950's pinup girls, stargazing on top of a car while under the influence (the car would not be moving), snow, hardwood floors and the way they creek underneath your feet, sewing, getting "shushed" in a library...like in Breakfast at Tiffany's, picture frames, dreams...sleeping or awake, gossip about crazy family members on the phone with my sister, helping a stray dog find its home, lots of black eyeliner, matches, getting scared, looking for frogs, a comfortable thong, pots of coffee, stealing ashtrays from really fancy hotel lobbies, travel of all sorts, poker, roughing it style camping, people that are happy with what they have, fire pits, climbing trees, people who are as clumsy as me, jogging with my dogs, black sheeps in the family, weird night lights, mannequins, darts, tattoos that have meaning, asian design, the way fabric softners smell, skinny dippin, sharpening pencils, cinnamon pop-tarts, music, taking photos and looking at photos of animal roadkill, long talks with people over 80 years old, ink wells, attending funerals for someone that I never knew, and huge birthday celebrations.

I love old hotrods and seeing them in movies. Quentin's Death Proof, in my opinion hit the kickass spot. It was double good for me because I love to see films with girls all hot but can kick your ass looking hot.

And I love anything visually appealing. I'm a very visual person.

Oh yea, and: MY COLLAGE FURNITURE

WhateverLife.com water bugs and junebugs, twisted or wet shoe laces, going to the dentist, falling hard when water skiing, Creed, Nickelback and Buck Cherry...they seriously suck to the upmost of sucking
male thongs, laundry, people that invade my personal space while standing in line, being interupted, stuffed pizza, primping, being late, dishonesty, a cd that skips, George W., country music, pretentiousness, hunting, and fake tans

I'd like to meet:



William S. Burroughs
because he's beautifully surreal.I know if I had just one conversation with him, it would completely change how I see the world.

Vincent Van Gogh
because his paintings and his whole life makes me cry

Quentin Tarantino
because he's cleverly amusing and would fit in nicely at one of my parties. And, so I've read, he likes playing boardgames just as much as I do.

because his writing completely mindfucks me

Tim Burton
because he brings the images in my dreams to life

Johnny Depp
I don't really need to tell you why I want to meet him.

Patti Smith
because SHE ROCKS. And, she's so bold

Bjork
because I want to make weird noises with her on my rooftop in the middle of the night and because of her abstract creativeness

Rob Zombie
because he shares the same passion for B horror flicks as I do and he's so badass.

Zoe Bell
Because she is the most badass stuntwoman evahh. She's fearless and inspiring. I always think of her when i'm boxing. She's fiercely hot.

Isabella Rossellini
because her beauty doesn't age and because her birthday is the same as mine

David Lynch
because I want to see his bug collection in person.He's so weird-cool. He makes "weird" make sense.

Jello Biafra
because he has the guts to say what I've always thought

Bettie Page
I need her to be my teacher in helping me master the ways of her prowess with erotic seduction.
And, because she wasn't afraid of being different. She pushed the envelope not caring what people thought. And, she was just so beautiful. I would love to see her in the flesh...in her prime, face to face.

Iggy, my real dad. He just doesn't know it yet.

But, I already got to meet her as of 3/17/08 and it was fabulous. We had a BILLBOARD time. I think the earth has a new crack in it from our visit.

Johnny Cash

And the ever so Irish and yummy
U2

It has to be old U2! It doesn't get any better.

They will always have a huge place in my

heart. First obsession, first huge concert.

When the movie Rattle and Hum came out, me

and my high school buddy, Mike, would go

every other day to the theater down the

street to watch it. No one was ever in the

theater. We would light up, kick our feet

back, and chill in ecstacy. Some of my best

memories have U2 playing in the background.

I like a good documentary on some wild serengeti animal or a KERA episode of the history of the ferris wheel. What can I say, I'm a geek at heart.
I used to love The Young Ones from the eighties that aired on MTV. That series was so awesome.
Also, oldies like Dr. Who, Bewitched, Twin Peaks, David Lynch's On The Air, Charlie's Angels,

I do love The Dog Whisperer. I'll tell myself that I'm not watching tv and if he is on when I turn the channel, I'm frozen. I want him to come to my house.
Oprah is the devil and Dr. Phil is her right hand man. She thrives on bringing people to tears and making them feel horrible about themselves.

Books:


You're
Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved
and immoral, you are obsessed with
sex. What really tantalizes you is
that which deviates from societal
standards in every way, though you
admit that this probably isn't the
best and you're not sure what
causes this desire. Nonetheless,
you've done some pretty nefarious
things in your life, and probably
gotten caught for them. The names
have been changed, but the
problems are real. Please stay away
from children.

CHEESE!!

Calamity Jane

There are few people that I find worthy of being called a hero. This woman is amazing on so many levels. Not only is she amazing with world records being broken but her personal journey in her running career. If you read anything about her or watch any footage of her you will be moved. Especially her emotional 2004 Olympic marathon. I remember watching that marathon from start to finish. I cried with her as her husband ran along side her. And after being in the lead the whole run, she falls with 4 miles left. I love her and she is one of the only women on this planet that I find a true hero.
