I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i really want to learn how to knit, whos gonna teach me? (im left handed which is why no one ever wanted to) but seriously, i keep going to all the fabric stores looking at all the pretty multi-colored yarns and wanting to make stuff out of them so bad! so... stuff about me, im a textile designer which means a lot of things really, im usually recoloring other peoples designs instead of my own or recreating vintage textiles. i love art and if i had my way i would spend my days making it and making a living off of it, but it cant go that way, at least not yet. but im still convinved that i should have gone into a career working with animals instead. i am obsessed with pattern, symmetry, asymmetry, geometric and organic shapes mc escher, tetris,, ernst haeckel drawings and the fibonacci theory. im horrible at math but am convinced i know my own kind of math. i get increasingly worse at spellng as i get older. i am really into pretty colorful irridescent things found in nature like peacocks, (the feathers are all over my house) betta fish, (have two of them) exotic beetles (collect them- they are dead of course) and hummingbirds (love to paint them). i love chameleons (i have a veiled chameleon) i want a panther chameleon, they are amazing. i have two cats and they are my babies. i love tattoos (that doesnt mean i have a million of them, but it doesnt mean i dont want a million of them.) i love pumpkins and anything pumpkin or pumpkin flavored. i love the color green and whenever i have a choice of colors i usually pick whatevers green, but when asked what my favorite color is i will never say green. i usually say blue. i cant explain why. i am terrified of spiders. i like to cook vegetarian food. i like to go hiking in the woods, would do it every day rain or shine if i could. i watch beavis and butthead and laugh as hard as i did when i was 16 at episodes ive seen 8 times. i have a boyfriend who never stops running, makes the best guacomole around, is the only person in my entire life whos been able to get my ass up in the morning and laughs just as hard at beavis and butthead as i do. theres never any beginning middle or end when i write anything so i guess ill just end this here. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

1. ghetto blasters 2. phoney jewels 3. cathedrals 4. castles 5. making up rules 6. trashy novels 7. leather gloves this is a list of things that i love **ok, i must add that this is from a go go's song so that i can stop getting mail from icky men who tell me that they are into leather gloves too. i am not into leather gloves, its just a song that i like, ok?**

I'd like to meet:

write me a letter, i like getting mail.

Music:

mix tapes by tommy t, the pixies, interpol, audioslave, tegan and sara,the cure, pj harvey, new order, erasure, ritchie valens, pennywise, stray cats, brian setzer orchestra, the faint, mary lou lord, luscious jackson, sonic youth, liz phair, bad religion, gorilla biscuits, fugazi, talking heads, david bowie, the police, rem, cub, the peechees, kajagoogoo, faith no more, heavens to betsy, heavenly, dee lite, the postal service, sneaker pimps, u2, cake, the smiths, descendents, ALL, misfits, inxs, cardigans, the specials, louie armstrong, dead can dance, radiohead, blatz, michael penn, dinosaur jr, depeche mode, operation ivy, ramones, dance hall crashers, pinhead gunpowder, the killers, antischism, cheesy 80s music, theres a huge range of stuff i like, just named some of the more common ones. most any band ive heard from the bay area california punk scene, ny hardcore bands, hedwig and the angry inch soundtrack, many many more bands.....sometimes i just listen to a tape of the ocean, sometimes i prefer total silence

Movies:

i almost never go to the movies so im usually way behind on seeing whats new. some kind of wonderful is my favorite movie ever, goonies, 3 amigos, the birdcage, nightmare before christmas, the lion king, benny and joon, hedwig and the angry inch, amelie, the secretary, star wars, indiana jones, the gift, napoleon dynamite, walk the line,

Television:

my schedule is too chaotic to keep up with watching any regular shows, i gave up on that. my attention span is like a knat when it comes to tv, by the time ive flipped through all 40 or 50 channels and picked something ive already decided theres something better i could probably be doing than watching tv anyway. either that or the couch gets too comfy and i decide its nap time instead. i probably watch a total of 2 hours a month. the cable bill is a good waste of money!

Heroes:

yoda -"do or do not... there is no try." julie doucet, frida khalo, georgia okeefe for her landscapes, skulls and abstracts, elizabeth murray, kenny scharf, ernst haeckel, karl blossfeldt, watts (from some kind of wonderful, i love her!), john robbins, the guy who wrote diet for a new america, that book was my bible when i was vegan- i need to read it again, anyone who follows their dreams and doesnt give a shit what other people think of it. my boyfriend for getting up at the ass crack of dawn and running every single day.
