I am here for Friends and Networking

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.

Check out my new LOST blog at TheFourToedFoot.com

just the facts

i'm really not at all in the habit of writing these little "about me" pieces. id much rather express my current state of being to the world via interpretive dance...or perhaps a high-tech laser light show...or even better, a sculpture formed from various cheddars...

i suppose for the most part it can be said that i am an enormous movie geek. i am fascinated with old and new culture, ancient civilizations, and investigations into the paranormal. i also love exploring the outdoors. basically im one of those gals who grew up as a tomboy, but still loves purple glitter and rainbows and unicorns...and roller skates...and shirts with puffy kittens on them. not many dislikes here, though i dont much like people with closed minds, or those who are uninterested in continuous learning. in regards to fears, i am afraid of spiders and those little monkey dolls with the clanging cymbals.

besides spending gobs of time on myspace keeping up with old friends and new ones, i run a design firm called Image ICU, LLC that specializes in graphic design, web design, and photography. you can find the bulk of my professional work there, along with several other mixed-media illustrations i am especially fond of.


oh, and i can never, ever get enough sleep. ever. EVER!!!

There are nine different words in Maya for the color blue in the comprehensive Porrua Spanish-Maya Dictionary but just three Spanish translations, leaving six butterflies that can be seen only by the Maya, proving beyond a doubt that when a language dies, six butterflies disappear from the consciousness of the earth.
