I live a quiet life in a little town, and that's just perfect for right now. I'm honest, and unsecretive-
Please note, I'm not seeking dates or romance of any kind. I'm married but living seperately (the marriage did NOT go well) and I -just- had his baby. You would not have fun on a date with me right now. I have four kids, for serious. I will be living with my mother until the beginning of the summer and I can not drive until Thanksgiving. Also, you would probably be completely freaked out by my work.
I no longer drink or smoke. At all. But I don't care if you do. That doesn't bother me.
I'm no snob, I WILL return the email. I'd love to have lunch and split the bill. I don't want to date.
If you stalk me on the site there is a good chance I will look at and read your profile. But if you stalk me and fail to contact me, I can only assume you aren't interested. If you only stalk me and I message you, feel really, really, special.
I'm easy to get along with and bright, but I like a good debate. Also, you should know, if I have a problem with you I like to get it out right away. I will never ask "Do I look fat in this?" You couldn't pay me to wear false nails or to get in a tanning bed. I will never drink diet soda. I prefer coke to pepsi and miracle whip to mayo, but not die hard. Road trips are fun...Read my profile often, I change it a little frequently.

How about "What are you doing HERE?" I would like to meet some people I can stand to hang out with. Otherwise, being more ambitious than the rest of you, aparently. Everyone's profile tales "furthermore... you are more ambitous." Yet, mostly taking it all in, I think everything that happens has a lesson. I'm just trying to learn, and, in some cases, teach. I will sing to anyone who will listen. I will forever live and die by music, I write a lot. I work a lot, too (I am a professional fetish model) so when it's time to have fun I reeeally let go. I don't like drinking often. I am living my life to the best advice I've ever recieved. "Put down the duckie if you want to play the saxaphone." Yeah, I'm for real, email me if you want elaboration.

Singing, painting, songwriting, listening, understanding and loving. Regaining control of my car during a wipeout. Putting space in the WRONG places. Being passionate. I'm good at adjusting, changing, and taking risks for the sake of taking the risk. I'd rather jump and fall than not jump at all. I like making new clothes out of old ones. I hope some day to be good at piano, guitar and cooking. Hear my attempts to make music @ myspace.com/lizrivers

I smile a lot, because there is plenty to smile about, especially that my sanity is at an all time high. I can talk to strangers easily, I'm open and unsecretive. The most common comments are about my wonderful aura and/or charisma. I am humbled by beauty, which, by the way, is absolutely everywhere. I tend to see that when others don't. I think EVERYONE is interesting and I love to touch.

Books-Anything Kurt Vonnegut, Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein, Who Do You Love by Jean Thomas, Mystic River (BOOK not movie),Bittersweet, Willy Wonka, Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (duh!)Go Ask Alice, Bells and Annabel Lee by Poe. Okay, so those two aren't books.
I am somewhat obsessed with The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain, All three versions of it. The Chronicle of Satan being my favorite, followed by No.44 and last Schoolhouse Hill. I do not like the Albert Paine edited version. I am ok with the 1982 version but I really prefer the unedited unfinished works.
Movies-I really like any Tim Burton.
Donnie Darko, Lemoney Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Kids, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Ray, American History X, Fear and Loathing, Office Space, Chasing Amy, The Wizard of Oz, A Clockwork Orange, Mean Girls, Willy Wonka(original only), Memento, The Professional, The Usual Suspects, Lion King, Brazil and Trainspotting.
Music- My top picks are Tori Amos, Tool, Violent Femmes, Beethoven, Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, Pink Floyd, NIN, DMB, My Morning Jacket, The Stapletons, Evanescense, Mozart, Against Me, Damien Rice, Joe Firstman and Phish (live only and anyone who can "play" a vacuum cleaner is alright with me.) Also random ATL hiphop.
Food- Canoli for sure is tops along with crab rangoon. I like pasta, fresh tomato, good cheese, ice cream, red meat. It's coming as a surprise to me but I'm actually turning out to be a decent cook. BONUS ANSWER-Favorite drink-Grey Goose on the rock and I can tell the difference between goose and any other vodka.

love children mothers toothpaste trees music!

Tori Amos, or Jesus, but just for a day. When I wrote that last sentence the question read, "who would trade brains with?" Don't misunderstand, Jesus is not on my mind. If I had to hear one song over and over without end from now until I die, it would be Marvin Gaye's "Heard it Through the Grapevine" or Dust in the Wind. Love it. That character is what you do when no one is watching. Who is the fifth cylon?!

Sleeping, folding laundry, watching BSG. Otherwise I spent Friday nights writing lyrics, singing, practicing piano and painting.

The adjectives in my yellow boxes are my original three. When I'm super Bummed I write rap songs, because I'm a terrible rapper and it makes me laugh hysterically. My name is not riverrose.
I am utterly frightened by loud noises like fireworks and thunder. That little dog trembling under the bed has nothing on me.
I once ran into a glass door running full speed. I wasn't able to laugh about it until the next day, but fifteen of my closest friends and about ten total strangers laughed right away. After I was positive I didn't break my face, I returned to the scene of the crime and discovered a huge smudgeprint in the shape of my nose shining in the light cast from inside the house onto the deck at nighttime.

There is a band in the Cincinnati/dayton area you think I should go see(piano, acoustic or electric guitar, um...banjo, violin driven, whatever, any band). Or something else you think I should go see, try, do. If you live nearby and want to hear me sing or you want to hang out. Don't expect to get in my mouth or my pants, though. You are open minded or want me to write a song about our encounter. Perhaps you like music, art, playing outside, or writing. You spot any kind of error in my profile or have something interesting to say. If you have absinthe and want to share it with me.
