About Me:
often out in
left field. (with my glove off. looking for four leaf
clovers)
fascinated by graveyards,
ruins, secrets,ghosts.
antiques,learning, dancing in odd places.I'd always rather
play with the kids
than talk to the grownups. I obsessively watch late night
infomercials for Feed the Children and bawl my eyes out.Very laid back most of the time, but when I'm not, take cover. 98.2% drama-free.I dive gleefully into weird and gross situations. I'm afraid of bees and "down" escalators.
The only way I could possibly care less about sports is if I were comatose.
I have a more fun page on myspace, /tristessa.

Who I Want to Meet:
If you possess vast amounts of weird trivia, are a Scrabble champ, an expatriate, someone who has ever seen a ghost, will get so worked up about something that matters to you (whatever it is) that you yell and fling objects,or will pull over and explore an abandoned building with me, or walk around the city for hours doing a whole lot of nothing, you should be my friend. Should like warm and cozy things, and books. Lots of books.

have written and think, "Well, thats a piece of
literary garbage". Improper spelling and grammar
are par for my course. This time I must compose
better. Sharon, Sharon..what do I have to say
about Sharon? Where do you start? She is always
up for good Indian food or going to Edison. She
feeds owls frozen cut up mice. She cleans out
refrigerators full of icky old chicken (Both of those
tasks done on a volunteer basis). She tries on at
least 45 or more garments in the fitting room of any
given store, only to deduce that everything looks
like crap. She follows you, in a monsoon, in the
middle of the night, stalking boys, only to end up
with my car stuck in the mud. She has the most
ecclectic taste in music. She always returns e-
mails. She has a camera named PHIL. Two words
BRASS MONKEY. And who could ever forget the
mayonnaise incident? She recently told me she's
the worlds worst friend..I dissagree..What's not to
the sitar and join the band. Sadly at
the audition we found out it was
really a kazoo. rob protested cause he
wanted to be the only tall person in
the band... i'm not sure this story is
true, but sharon rocks.
dirtyfeet, spoonface, fishsack girl.
Please don't ask me to explain that
last one because I'm not sure I even
could. All I know is that it involved
a fabulous summer of crashing
barbeque's so we could afford to eat,
coloring, and eating an awful lot of
cookie dough and seeing who could spit
the chocolate chips the farthest. Oh,
and giggling. Lots of giggling. I
don't think I could possibly list all
the reasons why Sha-Sha is one of the
most fabulous people I know. At some
point in college she handed me "Skinny
Legs and All" and told me to read it,
I'd love it. And thus began my
obsession with Tom Robbins. She smart,
she's fun, she's honest, she reads good
books, and on the all to infrequent
occasions that I actually see her she
makes me laugh until I almost pee. It
may be icky, but it's true. Did I
mention she's also ridiculously
talented? An amazing artist. She
always told me she was no good with
color and then for my birthday many
moons ago and did an amazing
illustration of me from a photograph,
color and all. Did I mention it was
amazing? And she said she was no good
with color. The only complaint I have
about Sha is that she's much too far
away. Come back to New York...
equal parts huge-hearted schoolmarm,
gifted visual artist, giddy party girl,
and finger-snapping bohemian. She's
adventurous as the Devil himself; you
can take her tripping blissfully
through New York, chasing stars in a
cemetery, stirring up the ghosts of an
old bridge, or even to see your
favorite psychic, whom she'll gamely
help you to mock forever afterward.
She's a thousand breezes and good
times. There's much more to her than
that, though -- even at 25, she has the
kind of creative vision that artists
spend a lifetime wishing they could
develop. She's a character and an
artist in the truest sense of the term,
blessed with a sense of humor so wicked
that even her most offhand wisecracks
get mileage for years. She's
experimental, still in a glorious stage
of self-discovery and eager to hear
your stories and to tell you her own.
She'll wander through ruins with you
and wonder what happened to the people
who used to live there; she'll go to
the beach with you and slather SPF 3;
she'll get things pierced with you;
she'll cause you to attend edifying
events that you otherwise never would
have thought of attending. She's
marvelous fun at a club, but that
doesn't mean she hasn't trekked to
India to work children and animals. To
coax her into your car, use Tori
Amos, "White Rabbit", penguin dust, the
word "hyperbole", or a really good
bhangra. And you absoutely *should*
coax her into your car, because once
she's there you'll wonder how you ever
got by without her.
