About Me



Background from Google search result

My Interests



rivers & waterfalls, being carried away, the smell of copal, interiors at night with low light, clean water, clear air, finding good music and hearing it live, dark roast coffee light with cream, cilantro and cardamon, apricot jam on whole wheat toast, backroads, intensity, soft things, things that sing, friendly sarcasm, vivid dreams, tibet, trees, flowers, creativity, self-contradiction, records, books, words, pictures, dewars & coke, chilean merlot, mingus & monk, playing with colors, wearing boots or no shoes at all, myth as metaphor, tricksters & shape-shifters, too many pillows, swimming in icy water on hot days, seeing stars & peace

i don't answer the phone if i don't know who's calling. i procrastinate. i have 2 huge sofas and a tiny tv. i love fabric that's deep dark red. a good live band will almost always get me out of the house. i'm not all sweetness and light. i read less since i started needing glasses. i'd rather watch movies at home. i fight for what i believe in. i've been called persistant. i like sweet more than sour, red more than white, slow more than fast. i love falling asleep in a beautiful room and the feeling of fading out. i'd rather take the long way.

You Are Absinthe
You are a sloppy drunk, purposely so
If drinking doesn't make you feel crazy, it's not any fun
Truth be told, you tend to prefer drugs to drinking
But you'd never pass up any absinthe that came your way! What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

I'd like to meet:
