About Me

"Laughter is the closest distance between two people. " ~Victor Borge (1909 - 2000)
I like many things and activities, and most people. I am quite shy and socially reserved and tend to come off coldly (so I hear) due to that fact. That's not the case at all =). I live in my own little haven off of 6th Avenue in Tacoma with my kitty cat. It's a fairly recent development, and if you haven't come to visit me in my new place yet, you definitely should! If we're friends here on myspace and I haven't talked with you for a while (especially if we used to talk a lot before the 'divorce' =P), please take the initiative and drop me a line--I've probably been meaning to call/email/message and just haven't gotten to it. I am currently trying to simplify my life to try and create some mental and emotional clarity. Anyways, I had way too much in this box before so I'll stop here....I guess my main message is to say hello!
STOLEN FROM A DEAR OLD FRIEND =D

Laughed 'til I cried...

My Interests

Reading, video games, table-top and live-action role-playing, burlesque dancers (note: not dancing =P), playing the piano, singing, theatre, cooking, bartending, hosting parties, water sports and swimming, walking in the somewhat rare Tacoma sunshine, learning about foreign languages and cultures.

I'd like to meet:

This section is so cheesy...reminds me of playing the 'getting to know you' game at summer camp or writing required journal entries in elementary school--not that I judge anyone else for having any other opinion about it ;)

Music:

Jeez...anything. I'm sort of ridiculously open-minded about music. I'm particularly partial to classical piano music and big, fat, rich orchestral music. I tend to like singer-songwriter stuff (read: singer with a guitar or piano) if it's clever in some way, John Denver, the Kingston Trio, System of a Down, Tenacious D, Buckcherry, Garbage, Blondie, Guns 'n' Roses...jeez, I should just stop. I could go on forever =P. br

Movies:

This is sort of a situation like the music...I could go on forever. I love movies, but it's worth noting that I'm terrible about retaining specific details like names, exact quotes, etc. And according to some friends whose movie knowledge I greatly respect I have seen a woefully small number of must-sees....so just....don't talk to me about movies if you know....anything =P.

Television:

Family Guy, South Park, Good Eats, Hell's Kitchen, Arrested Development, Firefly, Heroes, House, Kitchen Nightmares, The Tudors, and Dexter (this one's probably my favorite).

Books:

I have bookcases just full of them....I tend to be drawn to silly fantasy settings with very little intellectual material. Trying to carve into some of that non-fiction on my shelf, but keep getting drawn back =P.
I feel it's worth noting that everyone should read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz =)

Heroes:

Ummm....see the 'Who I'd like to meet' section.

My Blog
