I like: photography, reading, writing poetry-memoirs-and whatever else comes to mind, creating and admiring art, fingerpainting, bodypainting, dancing, listening to and playing music, being somewhere else, experiencing nature, being immersed in different cultures, blowing bubbles, dreaming, playing in the rain, living, loving, believing. I am trilingual (American Sign Language, Spanish, and English), and like learning new languages (German, French, Latin, Japanese, Italian, Dutch, whatever). I have studied several religions. I LOVE LOVE. I am a hopeful vs. hopeless romantic.

I've sung all of my life and played all kinds of musical instruments over the years (flutes, recorders, piano, banjo, bass guitar, regular guitar, bongos, bells, triangles, zills, bodhran, marimba, ocarina, tambourine, LOTS of things). I started performing on stage when I was 6. I've done tons of backstage theater work, including operas, musicals, dancing troupes, musical theater, and plays. Some of the shows I've worked professionally over the course of 18 years include "Tosca", "Annie", "Will Rogers' Follies", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Cats", "Riverdance", "The Nutcracker", "Carmen", and "The Magic Flute" (there are tons more operas, 10 years worth). I've done costuming, scenery, sound, lights, and stage management. All of that doesn't include the school productions and volunteer work of the past.

I'm the type of person that can carry on a deep philisophical discussion while being silly by wearing horns and a feather boa. I want to buy the world a coke and teach them. I help people. What I don't know how to do I attack with gusto and learn. There is a huge amount of knowledge out there for the taking; it's just a matter of finding it. I will try nearly anything once.

I see beauty in everything and everyone, even if they don't believe or see it. I have a knack for pulling thoughts out of people and helping them voice what's inside them. I LOVE to see people smile. I'm interested in learning about an entire person by getting to know what makes them who they are.

I tell it like it is, so don't ask if you don't really want to know. I'm a good listener. I'm a Pisces (western astrology) Water Rat (eastern astrology). I'm an INFJ. Bottom line: I am a "living in my head clairvoyant empath who likes orderly borderline chaos and questions everything".

I love music. I'm the one that is tapping her foot, dancing like mad, and having fun when there's music being played...that goes for when I am the one playing it, too! Depeche Mode, Concrete Blonde, Gary Numan, Days of Fate, D R A G O N S, tenek, Glasshouse, Shockwork, The Nine, Alien 6, Duran Duran, Berlin, Roxette, Blondie, Huron, Bjork, U2, The Cure, Go-Gos, Metallica, Psychedelic Furs, Missing Persons, The Ramones, Bananarama, The Smiths, NIN, OMD, David Bowie, The Rave-Ups, Mesh, Deviant |UK|, Talking Heads, Animotion, Poe, Joan Jett, Editors, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Jane's Addiction, econic, Placebo, Absurd Minds, Pylon King stuff, Assassins mixes, and LOADS MORE!!!

Anything entertaining and cinematic. I'm a geek girl, so I like sci-fi, fantasy, comic book heros, etc. I also like romantic comedies, as I am a sucker for a good love story. I don't care to see "reality" on the big screen...I get that in everyday life already.

Mostly non-fiction. I enjoy Eastern and old religion books, astrology, poetry, memoirs, really anything. I like a lot. And I LOVE quotes, as well as music lyrics.

People that I admire include: Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Anais Nin, Mahatma Ghandi, Confuscious, Steven Wright, George Carlin, Lewis Black .. anyone that has changed the world for the better and can make someone laugh. Everyone has the power to do that, so what are you waiting for?
