To be blessed with a mind that can write often means you'll be cursed with a mind that will torture

About Me

I am just a girl...

who fell in love with words...

& photography...

& decided to write...

[what work sometimes looks like]

& chase happiness...

[Me, Janeway & The Ambear]

among many other things
I've decided to do & chase in my life.

I am a giant slashie. I always want more.
I can be a walking contradition. Personality = INTP.
I am too serious, my own worst critic & long
for that illusive perfection, which doesn't exist.
I wish I could string together the most beautiful
moments in my life & hold on to them forever.
I wish I wasn't so messy. I aspire to be organized.
I daydream more than I talk & I am in love with love and words.

My Interests

"That's the strange thing about MySpace: I seem to get close to the people I should have, and they all turned out to be who I thought they were." — Kirsty Hawkshaw

Writing. Editing. Photography.
Dancing. Music. Creativity. Art.
Monsoon season in the desert & summers by the sea.
Anything that provokes deep thought or wild arguments.
My crazy dingo, Sydney, and pirate cat, Tatum.
Searching for answers in the unknown.
Striving to make my feelings make sense.
Fashion. Shopping. Travel.
Gardening & organic food.
Juice. Dolls. Coffee. Mate.
Going out & cocooning.
Naps in the middle of the afternoon.
Staying up late & sleeping in.
Attempting to discover the meaning behind everything.
My friends. My family. MAC computers.

|||Erin & I: my other half in the formative years|||

I'd like to meet:

People who can teach me things I somehow can't learn on my own.
Those who exude creativity, passion and grace.
Others who inspire me or make me laugh until I cry.
Anyone who can cure my allergies.
And finally: writers, photographers and promoters.

**2002 Flashback**
My cameo as Faith Hill's ghost in "Cry."
-- You can see me for a few seconds at 1:28 & 2:06 --

Music:


|||Mickey's Hangover|||

Everything electronica, Tori Amos, Orbital,
Kirsty Hawkshaw, Z-Trip, Ani DiFranco,
The Orb, David Grey, Tiesto, Rabbit in the Moon,
everything in my iTunes...including punk,
but that list is too long.
Basically, I love good beats, angelic voices,
"those" songs that give me chills and/or
make me want to cry, anything I can dance to
[mid-1990s was my favorite for the rave era],
& of course the classics -- Doors, Grateful Dead,
Crosby, Stills, Nash [and Young], and the list goes on...

I once thought this guy was the best singer EVER!
[circa 1994-1995]

At the moment:

Movies:



All my DVDs were stolen...it's a bitter subject.

Television:

24.
Jack Bauer = the end.
X-Files & Sex and the City.
Not a TV girl per say...but there are a few.

Books:



AUTHORS: Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Jack Kerouac,
The Fitzgeralds,Elizabeth Wurtzel, Richard Bach, Ayn Rand --
I have hundreds of books, just not the patience to list my favorites.

Heroes:


This hand is bitterness / We want to taste it and / Let the hatred numb our sorrows / The wise hand opens slowly / To lilies of the valley and tomorrow

Those that Hemingway speaks of in "A Farewell to Arms":
"If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
