About Me

I will say this: My family rules the planet with their awesomeness, I am surrounded by stunningly wonderful friends, and my boyfriend will win a coolness fight, hands-down, everytime (if there was such a fight, which there should be because he'd win).

Also, I'm in a band. Fronted by my brother, who's genius: www.myspace.com/redheads

" I have stopped asking 'Where is God,' but rather 'Where are Gods People?' "

My Interests

"Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly."

Cooking, eating, movies, music, reading, eating, botanicas, flea markets, old stuff.

I'd like to meet:

People who like to eat.
People that like music.
People that like movies.
People that like funny.
People that are funny.
People with nice shoes.
Huggers.
Kissers.

Music:

Cliff Notes Version (which means that I'm leaving huge gaps that are vital to the list as a whole):
Joni Mitchell, WILCO, Pedro the Lion, Iron & Wine, Blitzen Trapper, Josh Grondin, Evan Way, The Hanks, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, David Bazan, Sufjan Stevens, David Bowie, Talking Heads, C,S,N & Y, The Beatles......

Movies:

Again, so not fair. I can't fit all the movies I like here. I'll forget one and then feel bad.

Television:

I like TV. I'll admit it.
But I like it more when I watch it with my roommate Dane.
We cry. We laugh. We grow.

Ok, the last one might be a bit of a stretch.

Books:

no man is an island by thomas merton, the man who mistook his wife for a hat by Oliver Sacks. ANYTHING by David Sedaris- the guy is genius! anything by cs lewis, a prayer for owen meany, rabecca (classic), as i lay dying, portrait of an artist as a young man, heartbreaking work of staggering genius, jane eyre, rutledge, jude the obscure.....I really like books.

Heroes:

Ok, so I need to update this - because these people deserve it:

MY MOM IS THE STRONGEST WOMAN I KNOW, Emery Way, Evan Way, Brette Marie Way, Eddie Way, Jamie Way, Travis Way, Charlie Hester, Ric Veda, Matt Bauer, Dominic Bogart, Cousin, Clay Smith, The J-Man, Ted Childress, Andrew Ellmaker (not the killer), Katy Davidson, Adam Seybold, Matt Higgins, Josh Grondin, Boy Brett, Jessie girl, Time Machine, Darci Cashers, BOWs, SRDs, Raymond, Aaron Ballard, Marky B, Zach, Demo Teamers, Bobby Mac, Rob & Angel, Jason La-Reverb, Cavechild, Icey, Triangle Spurr, Anne Bogart, Sufjan Stevens, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhall, Cate Blachett, Elliott Smith....and all those that inspire me with their talent and loyalty.
