About Me

I moved to Phoenix in August 2005 from Alabama, but I only have an accent when I drink...or if I get all worked up about something...or when I talk about home...or when I'm not paying attention... Here's a new one: when the damn Canadians at work point out my country verbage.

I'm into art...music, drawing, special effects, glass-blowing, photography, mysteries, learning...

My favorite artists are Dale Chihuly and David LaChapelle. I am very into the senses. I know exactly what I like the minute I see/hear it. I have an opinion about EVERYTHING! I am also a wealth of useless information/trivia.

Oh, and I generally kick ass. I'm great fun at parties. I can lack proper grace at times, so you may catch me tripping over nothing or running into shit. It's just what I do...I put on a good show. Sometimes, when I laugh...yeah, I snort...I can admit that. (it's usually only my sister that can make me do it, though. and my boss now...dammit!).

My Interests

photography, art, design, friends, music, drawing, traveling, interpretive dance (j/k), family, pets

I'd like to meet:

David LaChappelle, Dale Chihuly, Mark Seliger, my Uncle Greg, my lobster...Seriously, though. I wouldn't mind meeting people who are thoughtful and funny and I like being around really smart people. Nerds are welcome here!Anything else, just ask! I'm pretty open and honest...but if I wasn't, I wouldn't tell you, right?I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
