The Wedding's in 3...2...1...

About Me

'I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.'
-Marcel Duchamp

I find I've relaxed into myself. I no longer struggle to be what I am not, and I aspire only to be a better version of me, which is a continuous journey. Luckily, I have a love who supports me and accompanies me on my wacky adventures. I have a passion for art, photography, music... as well as politics and education (although I'm more self taught than schooled). I have a soft spot for glamor and fashion, but odds are, you'll see me in jeans (but perhaps with red lipstick on). I drink more beer than wine, I enjoy dive bars, instead of clubs, I'm a tomboy at heart who can't leave the house with out makeup on...

My Interests


'The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.'
-Hunter S. Thompson

Photography, Photographic equipment, (old and new), music/concerts, reading/writing, art and art museums or galleries, coffee/tea shops, a good brew, a tasty hooka, tattoos, tattoo shops, book stores, politics/politically minded people, late night miandering, the beach, Seattle... all of these things interest me or keep me interesting.

I'd like to meet:

'One ought, everyday, to hear a song, read a fine poem, and, if possible,
to speak a few reasonable words'
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
