Flickering distraction. Wonderful Shimmyist. Uses random French in conversation. Dresses up for no apparent reason. Wants to save the world, but never sure how.

Fond of mixed tapes. Will always be a writer, wants to handle rejection even more gracefully than Bukowski himself. Ready to travel and conquer the world.

Compulsive reader, convicted bibliophile. Dictionaries have the best plots. Can be found reading Ambrose Bierce on my little, brown front porch and Palahniuk on concert lines. The best way to my heart is to loan/give me a book or to recommend something truly wonderful.

I have more hobbies than I can handle. In the process of writing a novella, learning Russian, finding the old lady gurus to fix my sewing machine, though I am perfecting my hand sewing.

I blast NPR and classical music with the windows down. I want to read Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night...in braille. I didn't learn how to snap my fingers until I was 19. I am a gal forever on a quest to find a working record player. Newest obsessions are hand-sewing scarves with pockets, duct tape wallet-making and writing letters.

I am fun loving, analytical, diplomatic, random, silly, inquisitive, whimsical and at times withdrawn. I am an incredibly moral human being who just happens to have a very morbid sense of humor.

I am finishing up my Associates Degree in the Honors Program at my college. Soon I will be transferring to Stonybrook University for their journalism program to get at least my Bachelors Degree.

Currently I am a portrait photographer, it was just something that I just sort of stumbled upon. I have too many whims for my own good. I am in the process of trying to get my writing published and I want to try to get my art in galleries. I currently practice both Yoga and belly dancing and I absolutely adore it. Looking to also do open mic nights so if anyone is interested especially if you know piano or violin let me know.

Painting, drawing,taking pictures, random conversation, cooking, singing, writing, communicating, helping others, listening to others, making gifts, acting, giving massages, being a critic, Scrabble, being spontaneous, being resourceful.

My eyes, my creativity, my sarcasm, my boots, my quirky demeanor, the fact that I am always reading something obscure and pretentious and that nobody has ever heard of it.

I'll just start with a small taste of what I am currently reading:

Food: Sushi, really dark chocolate, Indian Food, Thai, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, French, and/or Spanish/Mexican cuisine, anything exotic or that entails adventurous dining. I tend to eat pretty healthy most of the time, though I have never been on a diet. I just happen to love a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and soy. I love coffee, but more so I love tea and my goal is to try every single of flavor of tea I can. I want to have a tea party, ridiculous hats are mandatory.

Words, Beauty, Chaos, A sense of humour, The people I love, Music/Art

Potential story ideas, potential art ideas, philosophy, psychology, why we are moved, art, science, the relationships between people, eccentricities, oddities, absurdity, life, death, music, books, knowledge, current events, past, present, future.

I often tend to have inner monologues that sort of pan out as these one act plays. What I am thinking about is more thoroughly appreciated if I express it in person. I feel as if I already gave too much away.

Closing at my store, Rock and Roll Karaoke (insert other awesome activities here ___________________________________)

My Friday nights are beyond typical.

If you have any better ideas, invite me out!

I have a hard time blowing up balloons because I laugh too much. I've only succeeded one night when I threw a Scarlet Party.

the following applies to you.

Creative people. Someone who will move me. Someone who is moved by the strangest things and the overwhelming beauty and chaos of the world. Someone who would like to play Fischer random chess. Someone who would be willing to write letters and send them out at a 24 hour post office and later do Yoga on the beach. Someone who can kick my arse in Scrabble or at least come pretty damn close. Someone who would be willing to hop a train with me to NYC to look at art galleries and museums and score a cup of Bubble Tea in China Town. Someone to be my partner in swing dancing. Someone who uses correct spelling and grammar. Someone who would be willing to do new and interesting things with me, like going to the opera and/or sky diving. Someone who enjoys watching obscure films and actually has intelligent things to say about them. Someone who wouldn't mind being sketched. Someone who knows about and can appreciate the Steampunk movement and/or is a part of it. Someone who actually reads things that matter. Someone who is familiar with quantum mechanics. Someone who doesn't mind going for late night drives with me in the passenger seat, with the windows down, talking about the universe and snagging coffee/tea at a diner and/or Dunkin Donuts. Someone who would play violin to me in the middle of the night. Words are arbitrary, meaning lies in people. I am just coming to terms with this, because I love words. Someone worthwhile.
