Music has been a large part of my life since I was a little girl. I am musically inclined, having started playing clarinet at age nine and violin at age eight. The biggest mistake I've ever made in my music career was quitting piano lessons when I was 11. I also love to sing. I've done solos in public, and I've sang in choirs.

About me: "I can feel the heat closing in, feel them out there making their moves, setting up their devil doll stool pigeons, crooning over my spoon and dropper I throw away at Washington Square Station, vault a turnstile and two flights down the iron stairs, catch an uptown A train…Young, good looking, crew cut, Ivy League, advertising exec type fruit holds the door back for me, I am evidently his idea of a character." ~ William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch.
I am a tad bit eccentric, but I have no qualms about embracing this undeniable state of being. I am passionate through and through, possibly even to a fault. Think what you may — that doesn't stop me from living my life the way that best benefits me and those affected by the decisions I make.
Unless you know me well, you'll probably have difficulty following my thought processes, as I often fall victim to the chain-reaction memory and the crazy impulses that make me a little less than boring. I'm learning new things about myself everyday, which is how it should be. I realize that I'm probably more complicated than most people, but I'm comfortable with that.
I am a highly emotional creature -- a victim of my own mind in some ways. I hate as passionately as I love. I take pride in my ability to think constructively about how things make me feel. It has only been recently that I've opened up enough to speak out against the forces that bring me down. Remember kids -- life's too short to waste all of your energy on short-comings, but reflecting on them now and again may actually lead to progress.
I have six tattoos and eleven piercings. I look forward to expanding these numbers.
Who I'd like to meet: If you don't know me, you should.
People who have brains and use them for thinking. Simple, no?
Artists, models, old school goths, deathrockers, poets, fiction writers, musicians, actors, self-proclaimed philosophers, visionaries, people who aren't afraid to step outside of conventional ways of living, people who are in touch with their emotions, honest people, people who will be more than your "sometimes" friend, like-minds, cynics and the fabulously debaucherous.
And if you aspire to live in a shack on the beach with European New Romantic kids who listen to Adam Ant, then you're cool in my book.
I only ask for common courtesy. Respect me, and I generally return the favor. You don't want to see the other side, buddy.
Elitists are fun, but be able to defend your ego. I will tear you apart. ;)
I don’t pretend to know what is good for you, but I do know what is good for me most of the time. If you have come to act on some vendetta you have against me or to try to convert me to your way of living, save your breath. Your lungs and I will thank you.
If anyone wants to talk on AIM, just send me a message to exchange names.

DROPPING BY TO SAY HI AND TO LEAVE YOU A STORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE TIME! This one is called....
'WHAT GNAWS ON MY SPINE'
Awakening back pains are a strain on my brain. What I thought was the rain, And arthritical pain Was far from the answer, the doctor explained.
“What you’ve got here are teeth, That lie deep beneath Your lower spinal frame.”
I listen in aw, as he starts to explain That what I was feeling, And my continuous screaming, Was not from a dream, But simply a twin, That settled right in, And began to devour my spleen!
My backache is from this invader, That grinds on my spine like a saw. And all that remains of this twin inside me Is a mouthful of teeth and a jaw.
I feel an attack as it gnaws on my back, When I lay on my back, that’s when The teeth start to bite, In the middle of night, I wake up in pain yet again.
The doc called it Lillian, my sister inside, I screamed out in pain when she gnawed on my side. There’s nothing to do! There’s no way to sleep! The doc says that Lillian is one in a billion And I can’t live without her, She makes my heart beat!
So it’s off now to bed, the worst place I dread. I’ll do anything to fall fast asleep. But I won’t be surprised when I’m closing my eyes, That it’s she who starts grinding her teeth!
