Mischief? What mischief?

About Me


Contact Tables
Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com /. ************This profile is a work in progress, as am I. It will constantly change. I'm just a plain girl-next-door type. Nothing special. I write and make films plus I have an underground gig reviewing music and videos. I love animals and I have no use for anyone who would mistreat one without good reason. I sort of run a halfway house and hospice for special needs animals. Wish I could afford to do more. I am a WORLD CLASS PRANKSTER. I write casual like I talk so don't nickpick my grammer. I know the rules when it has to be formal. I collect fountain pens. I care about the elderly and the homeless. I promote SIDS awareness. I am fond of challenged folks. I am finally learning more about my Native American heritage (wish I looked NA) and I am concerned about the preservation of the NA cultures. I write music and poetry. I taught dance and was a choreographer of fight and dance. I was a paramedic instructor by trade. I've repped some folks. I- I - I - I hate talking about myself almost as much as I hate third person bios. I'm not a big shot though many of my real life friends are. I'm not here to look popular or to post fake pics or to be discovered. There are many far better people to discover here than me! Social climbers have nothing to gain from me. I am not important enough to add if that is your only reason for doing so. I am all about networking but I AM NOT A FRIEND COLLECTOR!!!!!! I do not collect people just to have them seen on my page, not that there is anything wrong with that. In my case the exceptions might be companies that could be beneficial to my creative friends or the sites of causes I support. I get a lot of invites myself but if I have invited YOU, it's because I sincerely want to know you or at least know more about you or your projects. I may have an interest in working with you. I will probably subscribe to your blog and read your bulletins if nothing else. I like to keep up with people, their lives, careers and interests. (I like to hear news first hand, not from other sources.) OR maybe someone I trust suggested that I add you. I will constantly be changing most of my friend lineup. People I love in real life will always be there, but otherwise I do it to showcase people or to make it easier to find people I'm going to want to contact soon and sometimes I randomly shift them just because....... AND I love sex but I'm NOT a cyberslut so please don't treat me like one. I'm trying to be a good girl gettin' on with her life. "Taz" is a remnant of my wild and aggressive side but it's how most folks know me so I keep using it. With a life history like mine I'm nearly impossible to offend. I can still be pretty edgy and intense. (Thanks for the female QT comments but no... there is only one QT.) Very few people can take me full strength but then no one has to. Nomal people bore me but I'm here to network and make friends since I'm pretty isolated most of the time************** I promise that as soon as I have the time to sit down and specify every person, place and thing I will. I'll add stuff in chunks. Until then the nutshell is that I want to know everything, see everything, experience everything that is still good in this world. I've had plenty of the bad and damn it, I'm ready for some good stuff.

My Interests

Animals, filmmaking, dance, culture, writing, music, trees, buffalo, sensuality, humor, emotion, weather, science, preservation, camels, multiple... (Hmmm... Val/Keanu Sandwich?)

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone. There are some people I'd like to write for. Some I'd love to pick the brains of. Some I'd like to observe in action. Some I'd like to help. Yadda. I can learn something from everyone and I can teach something to everyone. I'm all about win-win. My muse is, well, you know who you are. But who would I like to meet specifically? Well, there isn't enough room here even for the ones who are still alive but for starters... Dalai Lama, tribal elders, Pope, my favorite stars, directors, producers, my kindred, whales, elephants, Cocoa (sp?) the gorilla, Chris Moore, Richard Lovett, George, Keanu, Harold Ramis, Denzel, DeVito, Yoko, Bindi, Kilmer, Arnold, Travolta, Paltrow, Reznor, Evan, Drew, favorite screenwriters, the EXTREME MAKEOVER producers, any wildlife warriors or animal welfare spokesfolks.... too many. Too many. Like I said - everyone. Note to porno folks: If I want it, I'll find you. Don't add me. If you must know, I have a thing for Chris Cunningham ATM. With some people it's the Bears, for some it's asian mail-order brides, for some it's Ponty. MY thing is Chris Cunningham. That dude totally fascinates me. I must meet him someday.I am currently looking for music for a short film. I have not decided what genre I want. If you are interested send me your links. I have also begun seeking out a couple of people I'd like to write for. So if you are a celeb that I don't already know in real life, that may be why I have added you. I'm truly harmless. I won't stalk you. Remain calm. **cue sinister laugh**I am also looking for investors, particularly those who support causes near and dear to my heart. See above............................................... (AND some political shorts I'd like to do SOON).

This song dealie didn't fit on the left side of my page.

Music:

Pretty eclectic tastes. Bring it. Also I work with a number of artists and often I will add their music/videos to my page, with their permission. So please listen. But just because they are there doesn't mean they are one of my clients. I'm chicken to post my own music. :)WICKED GAME seems to be the only song that can't be ruined. (Shut up Bert Switzer!) It can't. I have yet to hear a serious cover of it that sucks. That IMHO makes it one of the best songs ever written. I have been collecting versions. If you have one that I don't - hand it over! Please.BANDS:Understand that by adding me, you agree to allow me to post your songs on my page when I want to. Most of you are happy to allow this but some are not. If you are cool with that - add me if you like. I'm always open to new music.CHECK OUT THE CURRENT SONG THAT IS POSTED: Please support this artist.

Movies:

Those made by my favorite directors (Rodriguez, Howard, Payne, Stone, Steven, QT, Cunningham - and others) showcasing my favorite actors (Clooney, Jolie, Reeves, Kilmer, Cruise, McGill, Hanks, Barrymore, Pacino etc), written by my favorite writers (Ramis, Bass, Goldsman, etc.) edited by my favorite editor (Mike Hill), shot by my favorite DP's... And those by the student filmmakers I work with. (There. That was a pretty safe answer!)***I have been pretty impressed by the films coming out of Canada lately. There were always good filmmakers there. Maybe they are just getting better recognition now.**** Someday I'll try to list everyone I admire. I could learn plenty from those folks. In fact I am putting it out there: If you are making a film, please involve me on some level! If nothing else, allow me to be a tiny quiet fly on the wall observing how you do what you do! There is nothing I am above doing whether pre/principal/post - no matter! I'm there if I get invited and I can find a way to swing it. Yeeehah! Chris Cunnigham - my kindred, WhereTF are you?

Television:

I don't own a TV. I don't! But when I did, I'd watch just about anything especially on Animal Planet, HGTV or well, the truth is that I watched The Weather Channel continuously unless The Wildboyz were on. Or one of my favorite movies. I also kept the music channels going alot especially the ambient/new age channels. EXTREME MAKEOVER - I have tried to get on that show a dozen times. Zip. For the love of GOD somebody make that a call for me! I'll come back to this when I can approach it with more intelligence and it's not 04:36.

Books:

The Cat Who Went To Heaven. Feathers For Lunch. The Sight. the Captain Underpants series, The Magic Treehouse series, anything non-fiction and even some presumed non-fiction (Rattling The Cage, Hunt for Zero Point Gravity, The Coming Plague, etc...) or -I'll get back to this.Busy writing!
