Interests

learning to sew for surivial, instrument making, people-watching, writing songs, singing even more ridiculous ones with dramatic gusto, eating and singing and playing music with various conglomerations of partly insane people; i suppose everyone is partly insane; all things garlic, ginger too, acting, being a stuff-collector and observing other people with the disorder. I love Cape Breton and irish traditional music.
