About Me

to the rescue, here I am

My Interests

let's see here...I love to brush my teeth, I'm a book girl, like all sorts of music, have a swell dog (though he is a little goofy), right now i'm listening to Miles, my tattoo is of a hindu god, there's a quart of oil on my desk, my apartment has way too many plants crammed into it, hmm... endless ramblings. As a matter of fact, I love dirt. Anything that I can make grow is amazing. If there's dirt under my nails, I consider it a good day. Right now I don't have a lot of space for a full fledged garden, but I have pots on the balcony and plants everywhere. It's almost a form of meditation. Gardening makes my soul sing. When my gerbil died, I bought a plant in celebration. Probably sounds strange, but it makes sense to me.

beautiful yummies!

I'd like to meet:

welcome to my world. perhaps i'd like to meet you.

Oh, and I'd really like to be introduced to David Byrne a final note...don't send me a friend request until you've sent me at least one message. that's just not my style. i'm not here to see if my friends number can be bigger than yours.
