About Me

QUEEN OF "WAY TO GO."
I have been known to play bass in rock bands,
but these days my bass mostly chills out under my bed.
One of my favorite things to do is teach yoga.
(It makes people happy)
Yummiest eye-candy: Compact guys wearing jeans and no shirt,
like this...

... or this...

I also love monkeys.

My friends mean the world to me.
Water and vodka are the only beverages I require.

My Interests

The color orange. Sandwiches. Mischievous cracker girls who lead me astray. Laughing, drinking, playing. The way the world looks through rose-colored glasses. Sticky sweet sappy eternal romantic nature. Daydreams sweet dreams weird dreams. Sheep in wolves' clothes. Boy toys. The REAL DEAL. Lightning speed days. Eyes open sail up assess the wind: navigate. Communicate collaborate believe. Feel. Hanging talking sharing sleeping napping spooning kissing eating BEING lazy drunk sober enamored fearless excited reckless hopeless exasperated rejuvenated optimistic realistic. Blind deaf dumb great grounded flighty frazzled supported -- supportive comforting -- comforted. Love. Listening hearing touching tasting merging snorting snoring craving satisfying knowing. Silly songs sung into my ear. Scoring missing taking care.

Heroes:

YOGI BHAJAN The power of the spoken word is the power of the divine. Through lack of understanding the essence of interpersonal communication, humans typically abuse themselves and others. It is an elaborate collaboration of action through which a human can experience infinity. Effective communication from an individual is that which maintains awareness of Self and uplifts the spirit or soul of the receiver. Discommunication or noncommunication is obnoxious, self-abusive and self-insulting language, slander, incongruence between auric radiance and words spoken... and is ignorant of the universal light within each and every individual. -YB
