She Moves In Secret Ways

Et lux in tenebris lucet

About Me

-I would much rather sit around and watch old movies than current ones; I love black and white films and can watch a musical any day.-Mustangs are my favorite cars in the entire world-- I think they're absolutely beautiful. Specifically the "64 1/2" AKA the 1966 model.-I'm a music junkie, but I'm all over the board, per se, with my tastes.-If someone is too dramatic for me (which is almost a given with anyone, because my tolerance level has become increasingly low over the years), I will end a friendship over it.-I consider myself a recovering germaphobe. If you see how I am now, it's incredible compared to before I was in high school.-I'll listen to just about any song with: finger picking, acoustic guitars, string bass, cello, full orchestra, violin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bagpipes, harp, etc. in it.-My favorite band is Peter, Paul & Mary.-My favorite actors are: Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, James Dean, Bette Davis, Spencer Tracy, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Woody Allen, and Ingrid Bergman.-I constantly make myself laugh.-IF I chose to regret anything, it would be my first kiss.-My feet look like little alien feet-- there's a gap between my big toe and the rest of my toes.-I am medically diagnosed as tongue tied, but my parents felt that the surgery was unnecessary as I speak well enough.-I love looking at the "Missed Connections" section of Craigslist... I don't know why, but there is something fascinating about it, and reading the descriptions of people.-I notice details very quickly.
