THINK.

About Me


I am a certified Beatlemaniac.
Seriously, I carry all the documentation. Next time you see me, ask.
I’m crazy?? Maybe. I don’t judge.
I’m in love with a boy who has a tendency to sing like McCartney and who is entirely too far away from me at the moment. But because he loves me too, somehow it’s okay.
I miss him.
The Graduate, The Godfather, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s just may be my very favorite movies of all time.
I love art, though I can’t draw to save my life. Well, okay. Say my life seriously depended on it, I’m sure I could bust out a few stick figures and a square house with a rectangle roof, but other than that, I'm just a big admirer.
Yankees baseball is the only sport I watch, although lately… no comment.
I truly believe I could be perfectly happy living as a nomad, traveling from place to place and experiencing all the wonder and heartache the world has to offer.
I love everything about the ‘60s.
Well, okay, everything except the assassinations, war, and general civil rights violations. Okay, so I love the music and fashion of the ‘60s... and the peace and love.
I fear bugs, germs, and buffets. Funny. I never realized until I just typed that out why exactly I do fear buffets. Perhaps it’s because the first two can usually be found there! I will go to extreme measures to avoid all of those things. Just try me.
Read Eric Clapton’s autobiography. Do it NOW!
I find everything absolutely hilarious. Everything. Although, if you prove me wrong, I do have the propensity to become deeply depressed.
If there is any justice in this world, Barack Obama will be the next president. Yes, I will vote. And so should you!
I’m a child of the ‘80s.
I wore jellies and a side-ponytail. And I listened to New Kids on The Block in my oversized “I’m a Pepper” t-shirt knotted at my hip.
I’ve seen London, I’ve seen France...
And I’ve set my sights on Italy. Watch out, you Italians, io capisco un po l’italiano and I’m not afraid to use it!
Latest shows: Tom Petty and Carlos Santana... :-D

My Interests





I'd like to meet:



Get Your Own Voice Player Manage

People who are quick on their toes. (Interpret that as you will.)
People still trippin’ on acid they took during the ‘60s.
Crazy people. I’m talkin’ really whacked out.
People that celebrate Festivus.
A genuine crack ho.
Moody artists.
Goodnight, Detroit!
Thanks for coming!

..

Music:


Music is part of my soul. Remove it and I’m dead.
Music from the ‘60s haunts my dreams and guides my days.
But I love a little of just about everything. I think I’ve been singing the new Coldplay song all day everyday for the last week. However, if I could only listen to three artists’ music for the rest of my life, it’d be The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton (Pick a band, or give him to me solo. I’m not fussed.).
