About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 You Are From Saturn
You're steady, organizes, and determined to achieve your dreams.
You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones).
You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible.
Focus on happiness. Don't let your goals distract you from fun!
Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of. What Planet Are You From? My pirate name is: Dread Pirate Bonney Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.

My Interests

Gardening, writing haiku, water aerobics, succulants, the state of the world, mi familia, cooking and (more important) eating.

I'd like to meet:

William Morris, Jimmy Carter, people with different backgrounds than me, people passionate about what they do.

Music:

Musically illiterate/chameleon. I love it but never have had the interest to learn names of songs, bands, musicians. All music sounds good in an appropriate venue. I liked driving with Tony in the "Beast" listening to the Beastie Boys, windows down, towering over the road. Listening to Opera performed by my friend Piper under the night sky of Santa Fe, good stuff. An early crush's love of Phantom of the Opera First Boyfriend's enjoyment of playing Eagles and Indigo Girls on the guitar... My husbands enjoyment of Rush... I also like listening to Neil Diamond or the Art of Noise while driving with my Dad. For every season....

Movies:

Italian for Beginners, Touch the Sound, The Gleaners, Star Wars (the trilogy that counts), The Gods must be Crazy, Brazil, The Royal Taunambaums, Rosencranze and Guildenstern are Dead, Room with a View, Better off Dead, Say Anything, Galexy Quest, Empire of the Sun, Finding Neverland, Shaun of the Dead, The Girl in the Cafe, Evil Dead Two, Little Miss Sunshine...

Television:

Northern Exposure , West Wing, and Neat. I also just saw a funny show Ed vs Spencer on the BBC America: a thirty minute show that made me laugh out loud, plus they showed one of the guy's willies! Wow, never in America. God Bless the Queen.

Books:

Watership down. Wisdom of Insecurities. My Friend the Monster. Mandy. The Animal Family.

Heroes:

My dad: he works hard and takes risks. He lives life fully and richly, loves his family, knows he is human, has screwed up and survived his own faults. He is a Silver Beaver Boyscout :-)
