I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Kickback yet temperamental, sweet yet hard-headed... I'm pretty cool to get along with, I guess. That is, if you can ever get ahold of me!
I'm married--happily married--to a sexy guy named Justin. He likes making up silly songs and dancing. I do too. That's why we're so good together.
I enjoy poetry--the good kind, the kind that is searingly honest, sometimes painful, sometimes disgusting, sometimes euphoric, the kind that people work really hard on and cry and sweat over. If your poetry consists of red roses, tears, broken hearts, and someone cutting him/herself, I don't want to read it. I've probably seen that same poem arranged in a different order thousands of other times and smiled and nodded politely. If you write this kind of poetry--don't give up. Read good poetry, and keep working on it.
My friends are awesome and incredibly good-looking. Of course, that is important in a friend.

My Interests

Poetry, art & illustration, chillin' with friends, doting on my man, learning about different cultures, going to shows, theater, traveling, learning new languages, fitness, bartending, capoeira, dance, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Any other poets, artists, visionaries, and dreamers. Anyone with an open mind and an open heart.

And...these guys.

Music:

This song goes out to any girl who feels the weight of society's ideals of beauty upon their shoulders.

I enjoy: Massive Attack
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Andrea Bocelli
Portishead
Radiohead
The Gathering
Incubus
Snow Patrol
Sarah Brightman
Rasputina
Silverchair
Dream Theater
Kamelot
AFI
Collide
Justin Timberlake
Rise Against
Sage Francis
Rancid
Madonna
Sting
The Police
Lacuna Coil
Josh Groban
Elvis Costello

Music I do not enjoy:

I loathe country music, elevator music, Muzak (doesn't it just SOUND like some weird mutation of something good?), Snore-ah Jones, and ignorant rap. I don't hate all rap--but I really don't give a damn about your Benz, your ice, your bitches, etc. Rap is a close cousin to poetry, and likewise, it's being abused for self-gratification and a quick buck.
