Christine Buchanan

Who I'd like to meet:

artists, cynics, realists, people who love beautiful things, those who see the beauty in 'ugly' things, intelligent people, witty people, confident people, strong people, those with a mind of their own. to borrow from ani difranco: i want somebody who sees the pointlessness and still keeps their purpose in mind, i want somebody who has a tortured soul- some of the time. i want somebody who will either put out for me or put me out of misery- or maybe just put it all to words and make me go, 'you know i never heard it put that way', make me go, 'what did you just say?' i want somebody who can hold my interest, hold it and never let it go. someone who can flatten me with a kiss that like a fist, or a sentence that stops me like a brick wall. if you hear me talking, listen to what i'm not saying- if you hear me playing guitar listen to what i'm not playing and don't ask me for the words to all the silences i wrote, don't ask me to put words to all the spaces between notes- in fact if you have to ask, forget it, you'll regret it. i'm tired of being the interesting one, i'm tired of having fun for two. just lay yourself on the line and i might lay myself down by you but don't sit behind your eyes and wait for me to surprise you. i want somebody who can make me scream until it's funny, give me a run for my money- i want someone who can twist me up in knots. tell me, for the woman who has everything what have you got? someone who's not afraid of me or anyone else- in other words i want someone who's not afraid of themself do you think i'm asking too much?
