CURRENT MISSION

To rock my way from one end of this crazy planet to the other!

Interests

MUSIC (writing songs, rocking with my band, singing alone or with my chorus, or listening to all different kinds of music), learning foreign languages, studying linguistics, writing (fiction, poetry, journaling, insanity, etc.), reading everything I can get my hands on, becoming "cultured" (lofty goal, I know), hanging out with animals in the summer sun, riding the Arabian horse who I'm in love with, making origami cranes, drinking tea, taking long meandering drives through the countryside, the Beat poets and their generation (which I should have been part of), the sixties, crocheting, traveling and discovering new experiences, punkness, learning, and being weird.
