Love Gen-Till...

Do you know my secret identity?

About Me

My life is simple, no matter how it seems to you. I am many things. You may never know all the aspects of me, and that is okay. If you ask me, I will try to tell you.I love to dance, dance, and dance some more. All types of dance. Flamenco, Burmese, Bharata Natyam, ballet, you name it, I know about it and have probably tried it at least once, or will soon. Next to come....trapeze, tango and capoeira!My livejournal is at http://gingembre.livejournal.com

My Interests

Dance, ballet, bellydance, Burmese dance, flamenco, Argentine Tango, capoeira, bharata natyam, sex, seduction, erotica, reading, writing, poetry, burlesque, cooking, making things.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, people I can play with and talk to.

Music:

All sorts of things, and especially anything I can dance to. From classical to zydeco, jazz to Nine Inch Nails. Depeche Mode and Jill Scott. And those I know and love, Maggot Pigs, the Nikki Borodi Band, and the ever delightful Miss Afua Richardson.

Movies:

Television:

Only on DVD... Alias, Futurama, and I secretly share my daughter's love of The Backyardigans.

Books:

A few fave authors: Octavia Butler, Orson Scott Card, Dorothy Gilman, Diana Wynne Jones, Terry Prachett. Books: Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man (truly hilarious!), The Dealing with Dragons series, Aunt Dimity's Death, Go Tell It on the Mountain, Mama Day (Gloria Naylor), Kink, Diane Duane's So You Want to be a Wizard series, Childhood's End (Arthur C. Clarke), Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit, The Jew in the Lotus, The Story of O, and a near maniacal love of cookbooks, especially those with stories and commentary.

Spring, full of new things

It seems only fitting that as winter has given way to spring, I have been busy doing and creating, doing and creating. When I walk up the porch and see the bulbs bursting with flowers, I feel a kinshi...

random thoughts

Tomorrow Ana gets tested for the gifted program. Assuming she doesn't get too stressed (as she is wont to do - the party line here is "nah, it's not important Ana!") and that she doesn't play the sill...

What have I been up to?

I have been very busy at work, and even busier outside-of-work! I pulled together an amazing group of talented performers to appear in a burlesque night that I produced on Staten Island (see the pre-s...

Drama waves goodbye

...or rather, steals the cell phone from my sister (my only way to contact the caregiver of my children during the day), texting madly during school hours (oh, I'm sorry - oh no! she wasn't TEXTING!!!...

What my post for today should have been:

Informative, reflective, and possibly even interesting. Why that did not happen as planned: crazy (cahRAYzee) visit to Elise's parents house and all the drama that that implies.

One of my favorite quotes, because she makes the excellent point that you can "jump in" no matter how much you think you have screwed up in the past. Excellent today especially as a few of my goals di...

2008 Goals

My goals - I don't do resolutions - for 2008. This was meant to be a longer, more examined post (a transcription of a process I have already done) but this past week has been extremely busy (and I per...

Gift giving

There was an article this week in the New York Times about the benefits of gift giving - for the giver. Why do we like giving gifts? The studies being done pointed to our enjoyment of choosing somethi...

Ahhh...

Things I have been up to Nanowrimo: I did more than last year (not hard - writing even ONE word got me further than last year!) but dropped off the wagon just below 10,000 words and just never got bac...
