I am interested in anything that allows me to express myself creatively: art, writing, poetry, dancing, singing, papercrafts, textiles, cooking. I would like to try photography sometime. I am obsessed with music and movies, and always have been since I was a kid. I am an Independent, who is always trying to find something new and different to keep my interest. I have a childish sense of humor, with an attention span to match. I enjoy hanging out with my friends in an atmosphere that is comfortable. I am definitly a jeans and t-shirt girl. No fancy schmancy for me, I am perfectly happy in an pool hall than a gourmet restaurant. More willing to order a beer than a martini. Don't get me wrong, I can clean up OK, but my personal preference is low maintenance. There is more to life than wasting time on the superficial things, LIVE; LAUGH; LOVE, SALUD. I like animals, and look forward to nothing more than spending time with my dog and cat after a rough day at work. Pets offer unconditional love, and sometimes that can be an awful refreshing thought nowadays. My style is quirky, and I am real geek. I love tattoos (got 8, they will all eventually blend into one as finances permit, not bad for a chick, eh) and piercings (had 12, but the "MAN" in corporate America made me remove some, so now I have only 8 all in my ears). I have always been interested in the gothic dress and lifestyle (ever since high school), but unfortunately in this day and age I find it very unpractical for myself to keep up. However, if I could choose a time to live in, it would probably have to be the 50's. I really like this era: the music; the greasers; the cars; Bettie Page; and who could forget Lucy. Timeless. Pet peeves: bad drivers, stupid people, lazy people, big egos, irresponsibility, liars, animal haters, mixing silver and gold jewelry (looks trashy to me).~FAVORITE QUOTE: "Not all who wander are lost."
