Sherise

Robot in disguise

About Me


A human topiary skillfully self cultivated into the form of my choosing.
A lover and a fighter.
A Dreamer of dreams, dreaming the connections between things seemingly divided.
Not the weirdest person you know but willfully and woefully on my way there.
An introverted extrovert.

Without partner...

The last of a species.

My Interests

INTEREST
I have several useless collections including:
Post modern boomerang ashtrays. (I don't smoke.)
Five or six classic turntables in various states of disrepair.
Black comic books from the 70's like Powerman, Brother Voodoo, Green lantern, Black Panther ect.
A Polaroid camera that I need to take more pictures with.

Outside of that I spend most of my time playing in bands, plotting on gear to be had, producing music and radio, writing music, sequencing, programming, trying to find zip disks for my MPC, DJing, and hoarding vintage vinyl.

To blow off steam I like to eat with friends and laugh uncontrollably loud in restaurants at life. I can often be found reading all the books in Borders for free. I'll find any excuse to attend a costume party or fall asleep in a park where there is less than a 45% chance of getting robbed.
(The secret is to use your purse as a pillow)

I'd like to meet:

Artist and musicians looking to rip shows together.
Odd balls of all sorts.
Anyone who finds themselves questioning on a regular basis "Did that just happen?"
