My Interests

.......


Reading, discussing politics, climbing trees, fashion, learning, people-watching, gardening, becoming spiritualized, baking. Lately, I've gotten into Tennessee Williams; his plays have such a deliciously trashy edge to them. It's like Jerry Springer. I love it.

I'd like to meet:

BILL CLINTON, Al Gore, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez, Richard Nixon, Bobby Seale, Helen Thomas, Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward, Bruce Springsteen, Conan O'Brien, Andy Rooney, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, Kermit the Frog, Gonzo the Whatever, Henry Rollins, Billy Corgan, Tennessee Williams, Khalil Gibran, The Prophet Muhammed, Jesus Christ, Rumi, Santa Claus, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Jack Kerouac, Dr. Hunter S.

We see the world as we are.’ As far as regular people go I'd like to meet somebody who is well-read, willing to engage in witty repartee for hours at a time, have passionate discussions about politics and life in general, and whose neuroses complement my own... .. .. width="425" height="350" ....
