Dreaming of Palm Trees

About Me

I don't know who I am anymore. When I figure it out, I'll let you know. For now, the facts as I know them are below.

I am a girl. I am an artist. I am not alone.

My Interests

Right now I'm interested in a cold beer with good friends preferably somewhere warm with ocean and white sands.

I'd like to meet:

"I ain’t lookin’ for the kind of man, baby Who can’t stand a little shaky ground He’ll give me fire and tenderness And got the guts to stick around"

Music:

Just about anything I can sing along to. I like music with hard bass and loud drums, the faster the better.

Movies:

I haven't really been watching them lately. 300 and V for Vendetta were really good.

Television:

I used to love Heros, but where has it gone? Same thing with Firefly. I don't watch TV much anymore. When I do, it's usually The Simpsons or That 70's Show. Though, my friends are trying to get me hooked on Anime and I have to admit The Cat from Fruits Basket is pretty hot for a drawn guy. :) Oh! And "Go Aang!" Yes, they succeeded in getting me hooked on Avatar.

Books:

I like Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I used to be into Harry Potter. Right now I'm reading "Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Art Making" by David Bayles & Ted Orland. It's an excellent book for dealing with the rest of life too.

Heroes:

My Grandpa. Without him, I wouldn't be on the way to living my dream. :)
