You could just about squeeze my interests into the Grand fucking Canyon.
The kindness of strangers, vintage vinyl, the mind, art, natural death care, astronomy, antiquarian books, candle-lit tub baths, laughing, genealogy, writing poetry, the moment when you know a painting is finished, dancing, libraries, trespassing in old abandoned mansions, Cherokee heritage, anagrams, skinny dipping, iridescent oil sticks, rosemary, science, hiking, rituals, antique Mustangs, gallery hopping, old coins, hoop dance, standing naked in torrential rains, music memorabilia, ASL, philosophy, cats, stargazer lilies, pandora.com radio, cooking (my pea soup kicks your pea soup's ass), second hand stores, walking through cemeteries on cloudy October days, sushi rolls, movie marathons, pumping iron, animal rights, humility, gratitude, vegan cuisine, thunderstorms, mullet haikus, roller coasters, Halloween (every damn day), Indian food, music, music, and yeah. MUSIC.
Music
I am the frontwoman of a hipper-than-thou experimental art fag band called Pocahontas Hump. In a tangent universe.
If this man sang "Wild Is The Wind" to me on my deathbed, I'd be instantly transported to the Andromeda Galaxy

Not a big fan of country, hip-hop, reggae, or heavy metal, but will tolerate it according to mood.
I'm a total music slut. I have worked in music since 1990, so i dig almost any groovy grooves from darkwave to discopunk. I'm very open-minded about music, unless we're talking about 21st century mainstream. If it's current Top 40, don't be surprised if I haven't heard of it. Most of it rips the very fabric of time and space with the sheer force of its mediocrity. And, okay, it SUX BULBOUS.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead-- his eyes are closed." --Albert Einstein
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men."-- Alice Walker
"The worst thing about being dead is that you can't be funny anymore. Or charming."-- Sparrow
"Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty-three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules -- and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress."-- Kurt Vonnegut
Who I'd like to meet:
Mind-blowing artists and manifestors.
I'd also like to meet Jesus and apologize on behalf of his fan club. Then I'd buy him a root beer and we'd go hang gliding.

I got home yesterday to find a 'you weren't in, so we shoved your parcel up your arse' card from the good ol UK Royal Mail. Got up ridiculously early (6.30am I tell ya....6.30AM!!!!) and shot down to the dumped mail office, to collect 12 long inches and a bundle of love from yourself. Went back home, jumped back into bed with my tea (as opposed to my gay lover) and read it and smiled my face off
Thank you sooooooo much. If ever there was a time I needed a friend and a confience booster, it's now. You're the best xx
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky......I need someone to spank my monkey......
