About Me:
equal parts pure and debauched. the naughty girl your grandma would love. i guess that's why i enjoy nashville -- it's kinda always saturday night and sunday morning around here. hmm. what else?... well, aside from puppies, sunsets and long walks on the beach, i like uncomfortable juxtapositions, saucy innuendos & general bullshit sessions. and good whiskey. and desmond decker on the porch after dark. the smell of college art buildings, stargazing, & cheesecake (both kinds). my cat's a weirdo, and i find her irritable nature endearing.
one of two personal credos: you can give a weasel a cute name like ferret, but it's still a weasel. and weasels don't make good pets.

Who I Want to Meet:
the truly good of heart, creatively-slanted folks who know it's better to be a smartass than dumbass, but also understand that smartass 24-7 circles clear around back to dumbass. those in posession of their own thoughts and honest opinions that weren't fed to them. someone who actually gets the weasel analogy and understands its potential for daily application. friends who'd be perfectly happy sitting on a rootop while skipping out on a party. someone who wouldn't drag me to a kegger without a really really good reason. sincerity, silliness, random tangents, pirate-talking, and a gift for launching into colorful anecdotes are a plus.
i'd also like to find other folks in the area who dig rockabilly & honkeytonk-type dancing (and don't take it too seriously... or insist on wearing some kind of period clothing.)

three years of tales, to be exact. I can't
think of anyone else I'd rather have with
me at mega-keggers or while playing
with pistols. Yes, her cat is straight from
the fiery pit we call hell, but how else
could she be protected from the
unsavory characters of the world such
as us, her friends. Margaret has
consistently matched my stamina in
honky-tonkin' all over the country - not
many people can survive on such poor
nutrition and sleep deprivation. It takes
dedication. Discipline. Heart. And
Margaret's got it all. Sweet Caroline?
Oh, no. Sweet Margaret.
over for dinner and Edie tried slashing
my jugular...ah, good times, good
times. Margaret saved me by tempting
the kitty away with a severed arm...this
was shortly before her Buick was
totalled by the car breaking free of the
mechanic's shop on 45th and Dodge. I
wish she was here for new memories...

she'd never sound like she was from
the south...how can anyone deny her
love of hi-fi and vinyl? Oh,
Marge..how I miss ya 'round!
money and she needed a ride from our college
town to our hometown 250 miles away. Over
the next two years, she became my gas fund
for numerous long trips down I-80. She buys
CDs that look interesting without knowing
what they sound like. She is built like a '40s
pin-up girl. She wore a Catholic schoolgirl
uniform for years and years. She had a car
named James when she was in high school.
She is sentimental, sweet, and her mind is
always going ten ways at once. One time she
left a six-minute message on my answering
machine. She likes the way she looks in
rubber. She should stop selling cigarettes,
because society will eventually pay the price.
She's a good hugger.
a hotel lobby at 3 AM to thunderous
applause. Also to be found dancing
ebulliently to live music and regaling
friends in late-night phone sessions.
Singing, dancing, pirates... why is this
woman not in showbiz?
enigma, in a coated candy shell! She's tempted
me to go lesbian at times, were it not for her
evil cat Edie. You'll love Margo, and if you
don't, yer just not right!

sherman, and the other was holding a
freshly poured pint o'guinness with a clover
on it. how special! the two monkeys decided
to swing together and realized what fun it
was!
