My Interests

Glass and More Glass. But I also love anything to do with sewing, yarn, weaving, dying, beading, embellishing etc. I have a fine arts background and I enjoy drawing, painting, sculpture and more. Most anything in art will get my attention. ..

I'd like to meet:

CJ and I are always happy to meet others. Any one with a passion for anything! CJ enjoys Creating Art Glass and is currently excited to join the ranks of "Biker"! If you have a passion for life, drop us a note!

Music:

I love all music, but I guess my favorites are Bette Middler, (what can I say?) Angela McCluskey, Natalie Merchant, Ricky Lee Jones, KD Lang, Sarah Mclachlan.

Movies:

I love a movie that challenges the imagination and stirs the emotions. It is rare that I see anything that comes out of Hollywood that I feel is more than “Good.” Some of my all time favorites are, “Terms of Endearment,” (You have to love Shirley!), “Shallow Grave,” anything by Tim Burton (except for “Batman.”), “Moulin Rouge,” Love David Lynch and the old gay favorites of “The Wizard of OZ,” Most anything by Betty Davis, and of course Most of John Waters work.

Television:

I don't get much time to watch TV. But we loved the too short Series "Farscape." I am enjoying the new version of "Dr. Who" And of course "Desperate House Wives." But I love the old shows. I love Mary Tyler Moore. I can watch “The Dick Van Dyke Show” over and over for Mary, as well as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Love TV Land. Watching a lot of LOGO lately.

Books:

I love reading mostly to escape. I grew up reading the OZ Books. Moved to horror and Stephen King. Having Out Grown King and Baum I tend to stick to fantasy. I am currently Reading “Wicked.” My all time favorite book is, “The Grapes of Wrath” by Steinbeck. Most people hated having to read Steinbeck in High School or College. I resented not getting to and have since read several of his short stories and novels. I also enjoy Flannery O’Connor, Tolkien, Stephen Donaldson, Roger Zelazny’s “The Chronicles of Amber.”

Heroes:

This is my Child! Makes a mother proud! (He is so going to kill me)
