About Me |
|
I'm an Unconventional Conventionist.... Happily married to my best friend, Matt, for 11 years (and counting!) Devoted homeschooling mom of a brilliant, energetic musicial 7-year-old boy; currently in the process of adopting two more children... cat mom to two black & grey tabbies, Harry and Sally. My husband and my children are the most important thing in my world. I'm a writer who's just starting to take herself seriously enough to consider publication. I write essays, short stories, occasional [bad] poetry, and I'm working on my first novel. I'm somewhat obsessed with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I perform with Transylvanian Nipple Productions , the Philly cast. I've also recently begun performing with the New York shadowcast of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Midnight Checkout Queens . I'm introspective, curious, moody, artistic and sensitive.... a typical Pisces. I type and type and type .. but when you meet me in person (or talk to me on the phone), you'll notice how quiet and reserved I am. I don't answer right away, but that doesn't mean I'm ignoring you... I just choose my words carefully and mull things over for an inappropriate amount of time. I read more into things than I probably should, and take things personally more often than I probably should. I overthink everything and I notice all the details. I hold grudges. I cry at the drop of a hat, but I try to hide it (like any good WASP). I quote movies, especially Rocky Horror, to an annoying degree. I curse like a sailor. I flirt for sport. I'm a big girl and I don't apologize for my size... in fact, I think I'm damn sexy, and most guys (and girls!) I know happen to agree :) I love Asian food and am intrigued by the various Asian cultures, languages and traditions. I do crosswords in ink. I have two chronic illnesses to cope with every day, and it's not much fun. I believe strongly that chocolate and peanut butter were meant to be together. I'm a serious Star Wars nerd. I'm also somewhat of a musical theatre geek. I love diners and BYOBs. I hate chain restaurants. I have a love/hate relationship with Philadelphia. At times, I am a walking contradiction (feminist housewife, married flirt, shy exhibitionist). I'm an autodidact who researches things to death. I have a strong dislike for institutionalized education and believe that children and adults should be free to follow their interests and learn at their own pace. I'm recovering from an overly religious upbringing and tend to occasionally spout off about the evils of organized religion in general, and fundamentalism in particular. I love quotations. Some people think I'm shy, but really I'm just a snob. Please note: -If you're not on my friends list, don't ask me to subscribe to your blog. Really -- why would I want to read your journal if you're not even my friend? -I won't "pimp" you, or "whore" you, to my other friends. You're on my list; that should be good enough. If you want more friends, do the work yourself. -If you're adding me because you want to "debate" me on any of my views (e.g. politics, religion, education), forget it. I have my views, you have yours. If you can't handle that, there's the door. Life's too short to argue with people who are supposed to be "friends." -I have my profile set to require my last name or email address before you can add me as a friend. The reason I set it that way isn't because I'm a bitch, but rather because I get between 10 and 20 requests a day from political pages, bands, etc. and I get tired of clicking "deny"... lol. So, if you're a real person and you really want to be my friend, just send me a quick note and I'll send you a request. *smile* You're a punk rock mommy! DIY is probably your motto, because you're a punk mama at heart. Your kids are getting your independent spirit and guts, and learning to solve problems themselves. You love it when they show their independence, even when it's breaking your heart. What kind of a freaky mother are you? brought to you by Quizilla What Type of Homeschooler Are You?

Television:Yeah, okay, TV desensitizes you to reality and rots your brain. You know you watch it anyway, lol.I am one of maybe 5 Americans who does NOT have cable TV. (Why do people get offended when I tell them this, and immediately start trying to get me to get cable? Does the cable company give them some kind of kickback for recruiting new subscribers?) Anyhow... I *love* HOUSE!!! I also like Smallville, Bones, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy, and The L-Word. I watch Sesame Street, Zoom, Postcards from Buster, and Reading Rainbow with my son (when we catch them), and I'll watch just about anything on PBS, especially cooking shows (Simply Ming is my fave). I also enjoy late-night reruns of Friends, Will and Grace, and Sex and the City. My all-time fave shows are Moonlighting and My So-Called Life. I'm so happy that I now have both of these on DVD! Hooray for technology! |

Dr. Seuss, for making silliness an art form. The Ocean, for always being there when I need it. My friend Laurie Heikkenen. One of my best friends, Jimmy Hurd (1959-2006): and my two biggest heroes.... My grandparents: Granddad... 1925-1991... for reasons probably only you and I will ever understand... and Mommom... 1928-2004... who probably never knew what a truly inspirational person she was. I miss you so much... you are and always will be my number one hero, forever. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. -Kahlil Gibran |
