My Current Loves: Dancing, film, writing, reading, painting and sketching, laughing until I ache all over, wine, sculpture, meeting new people, wearing and collecting marvelous pieces of clothing, learning about all of history, buying and making elaborate costumes, collecting comic books and smutty novels that aren't generally allowed, my friends and people I love, being loved, expressing myself without fear of recrimmination, self-actualization, the fight for the equality of all humanity, and deep, philosophic conversation about everything from theology to history to love to humanity to life and death. Let nothing be sacred!!!
Dislikes and Peeves: Narrow-mindedness and ignorance, bad acting, discourteousness, rude kids, Hummers and Hummer limos (so tacky), unrequited love, reality TV, merchandising, and the general degradation and dumbing-down of society.

Television
Nerdy stuff.
Books
Anything and everything. I eat them. I gobble them up. They sit in stacks around my room, I read them in the bath, in the car, in bed, at the dinner table, and they frequently cause me to go broke.

Heroes
My best friends Lauren and Gary, my paternal grandmother, Audrey Hepburn, JK Rowling, JRR Tolkien, Dita von Teese, Albert Einstein. And this guy:
About me: The late great but here-and-now eccentric wunderkind writer, synesthetic savant, coming to you live in full Technicolor (but mostly just Red), with a mouth full of words (some filthy), a unique style, and a willing passion to just Live! or die in the attempt. Now with -new!- Laser Heat Vision. Battery not included but will be administered if needed, so watch it. Blim blam.
WORK BY ME:
"A Call to the Gods"
Andy and I raise our voices to the heavens in song.
'St. Maartens' - My trip to the Caribbean
'Pole Dance 101'- Me practicing on the pole to "Piece o' You" by Sluts of Trust. Jeff was kind enough to announce me.
'A Train Ride' - A short short by me; basically just film practice.
'Sexy Back' - My friend Zach being his batshit crazy self set to the magical backdrop of Timbaland produced hotness. I lurve you Zach.
Ron/Herm Icon - Ron and Hermione love each other. But Herm can get a little...Psycho. HP ship love, cuz I'm such a frikkin' nerd.
'Best Friend', by Queen - A montage collection of all my depraved friends.
A montage video I made for my friend's birthday to Paul Weller's 'Changing Man'.
A montage video of my trip to Scotland--mostly the insides of museums, 'cause I'm a nerd like that. To The Beatles 'Day Tripper'.
Who I'd like to meet: All of my Muses. Suffering children and people. Survivors of war and human tragedy. The persecuted. Teachers who really teach. Artists of all sorts. Nerds and geeks. Romantics. Travelers and people with fascinating lives and experiences. Lovers and hellions. Ladies with pale skin and smoldering red lips. Gentlemen with silver cigarette cases and salt and pepper hair. Corset-makers in atelliers. Philosophers and geniuses long dead. A cobbler with cunning designs. Burlesque dancers/enthusiasts and ballet company principals. Visionaries who argue in cramped cafes. Those who are old-fasioned at heart. People fluent in long-forgotten languages and practitioners of long-forgotten arts. Knowers of secrets. A friend.
