My Interests

Making art. Taking photos. My family. Writing poetry. Dancing my butt off. Bothering you. Hounding you. Making you laugh. Making you think. Making you cry. Moving you. Seeing us see each other in real time.

I'd like to meet:

Tori Amos, Leonard Cohen, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Marvin Gaye, people with class, taste, goals of development and growth, people who can help with my homework. :) I'd like to meet sincere people who really want to be a friend and don't mind having one back. -----------

Music:

Sujan Stephens, Tori Amos, Leonard Cohen, Shawn Colvin, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Neil Young (on his own) When I'm in a dancing mood, I listen to The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers and electronica/ techno/ industrial, in general. The list of music I don't like would be shorter. Move me, I'll listen to you.

Movies:

Magnolia, American Beauty, The Color Purple, Lost in Translation, anything scary, Napoleon Dynamite, Shawshank Redemption, High Art, anything with Ally Sheedy. What I really like to see in film is something interesting and appealing to the heart.

Television:

Forensic Files, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order-SVU, Will and Grace, Seinfeld, Sex in the City, The Closer, House.

Books:

Messages from Michael, (whole series), The Big Book, 12 and 12. Many Lives, Many Masters, The Destiny of Souls, Various Positions (Leonard Cohen biography), The Life You Were Born to Live, A New Pair of Glasses, Long Time Gone (David Crosby biography), The Joy Luck Club,

Heroes:

Bill W. My family. We've been through some hard shit and have made it through together. I love you guys. We'll always be together.My son. He completely changed me. My sober friends who know what it's like to "Wish for the end" Who "could not imagine life with OR without alchohol" Who were "at the jumping off place" and who experienced an "entire psychic change" and who have helped me through the worst time of my life and are responsible for why I'm sober today. You are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I thank you so much for your countless hours talking to me, working with me, helping me be the person I am today. There are no words that could ever describe my loyalty and gratitude. We are one.Sober since: 5-2-02 Thanks guys.

Black gnat dance (poetry)

Tiny black gnat With clear flapping wings You are circling the rim of my glass You're dipping in- faster than speed You're taunting me You fly away briefly And back Dancing your secret thirsty Dance. ...
