about me
Post-modern Boho writer, part-time baby belly dancer, full-time dreamer, cracker jack boogie boarder. Both afflicted and cursed with a twisted sense of humor. Serial monogomist marriage-phobe who still believes in the possibility of finding a life companion...as long as I don't have to live with him (note: this phobia does not extend to Cormac McCarthy, Tom Waits, Tommy Lee Jones, Eugene Hutz or Javier Bardem).
Very eclectic tastes in music...except for a deep love for old-time blues, I generally prefer music that defies genre. For that matter, I prefer *anything* that defies genre, including people. I am creative, passionate, funny, inconsistent, impulsive and/or spontaneous, (depending on whether you like me or not), a rebel without a clue; a pathological reader, a mother, lover, friend. I laugh every single day of my life. Have been accused of being "too dark", but I prefer to think of myself as cheerfully cynical. I'm a proud Sagittarian Dragon--the only tattoo I have is a small dragon on my ankle. I'm intolerant of intolerance, resentful of admina-speak, uselss meetings, talking heads, politicians and warmongers. When I'm in love, I don't love with all my heart; I love with my entire soul. I'm an outgoing loner; I love people but I tend not to seek them out because I'm so firmly entrenched in my head that I sometimes forget the world around me. I am legally insane (no, really) and I love most men, though many women tend to scare me. I am almost never bored; people, one on one, never bore me. I can sign "Baby Got Back" in American Sign Language, am fascinated with almost any kind of mysticism/spirituality, know every single word of dialogue to "The Godfather" and can make the best damn lasagna west of Sicily. Short-term goal: to have the guts to post a video of myself performing; long-term goal: live past 45.

Personally, I don't HAVE a style yet. I threw out , "Uh, I guess tribal fusion", but even Zoe Jakes told us, "Yeah, whatever THAT means."

"Real" belly dancing
(in The Foul, Drunk & Hostile Bellydancer)
The other day, I was speaking with a dancer I'd seen before at haflas. I have to admit to some bias--she's never done anything wrong, but something about her whole demeanor is sort of "I'm dance-ier than thou", know what I mean?
Anyway, she ask... read more discussion post on Wed, December 16, 2009 - 1:39 PM

I love Jane Austen. I loved Pride and Prejudice. I love her sense of humor.
I think she'd find the whole thing amusing. discussion post on Tue, December 15, 2009 - 12:39 PM

I love her. I love zombies. Who better to kill the zombies I love? It's a match made in heaven. Uh, hell. Well, it's heaven to me, anyway. discussion post on Tue, December 15, 2009 - 5:19 AM

Mimi was the strongest, bravest and healthiest person I've ever know. There are times in which I felt that she was actually carrying me. In fact, she was so strong that when I got the early AM phone call--never good news--I thought it was my mother, my step-father, a friend...it literally never occurred to me that my Mimi--at age 84--would die on us.

Recently, our receptionist (who has a bachelor's degree, BTW) left her crappy, low-paying job and we all panicked...mostly because we would all hate her job and we hate taking turns doing it.

Crappy job? When we advertised for the position we got *93*-count'em-93 applicants. Many of them were educated. A couple were engineers; one had his Ph.D. All for a low-paying, "part-time" (just a few hours shy of 40 hours) wage position without any benefits. I didn't realize just how bad the economy ... read more
The office is making me do monkey work today, so I'm rebelling by wasting as much time as possible. Wanna play? Okie-doke. Take the survey and change your answers (these are mine, so hands off).

I love Fioletta. She provides awesomely brain stimulating points of view. She is wilding intelligent and hauntingly sensual!
July 11, 2008
Never in my life did I ever dream that I would find such a Mad Hatter Kindred Spirit. Fioletta is a wordsmith, not a writer, a forge maiden of the written word. Watch closely as she conquers all with quill and parchment. Ah my Fio-Fioletta... Start wearing purple for me baby and while you're at it... use purple ink.
