Passionate to a fault, even about things that don't particularly interest me. Free-spirited knee-jerk liberal or reactionary right-wing conservative, depending on who you ask.
Labels are dumb (dumb is a label).
Family and friends are insane and essential, but my job is important too. Northeastern in outlook, Midwestern in orientation, whatever that means.
I throw fab dinner parties, write (edgy) prose, go the the gym, watch sports, preferably live (March Madness is my fav, though I love baseball, hockey, horse-racing, volleyball, all Olympic events, even curling, though not rhythmic gymnastics, as anyone in their right mind knows that is not a sport). Read, hang out with my posse, often times in dive bars, listen to music, take some photos, see a play, work on my house, all not necessarily in that order.
Travel is a plus. Most recently Lost River, WV, Portugal, Nassau, Maine, Provence, Rome, NOLA, town of my heart. Resourceful and good in a crisis, but DEFINITELY not looking for one.
Computer-challenged so if you write to me using any of those internet-chat abbreviations, I won't have the slightest idea what you mean.
I hate when people write e-mails in ALL CAPS.
I love when people surprise me...
My Ideal Person:
You? Positive. Though angst is good too, means you're paying attention, but don't let brooding be a way of life. Be serious, be silly, have fun... Enjoy all sorts, whether or not it's politically correct. Like what you do, or do something else. Smart, funny, irreverent, not pretentious = good. Lying = bad (but if you do lie, make it a good one). Been around the block a time or two? Makes for snappier conversation. Talk about problems before they take on a life of their own. Make people feel at ease, cuz I do. I love the energy of a good argument; it would be nice if you'd take the bait now and again. Don't hold me responsible for the sins of your ex-es, and I promise the same. Think as well of yourself as I think of you; love me hard, despite my foibles.
The last great book I read
Let the Great World Spin - Awesome stuff. Also recently,
In Cold Blood -- can't figure out how I got this far without
reading it.... Though Omnivore's Dilemma was pretty
damn excellent, as was World War Z! Favorite of all time?
Probably Their Eyes Were Watching God
My most humbling moment
Lots of those. I will rue the day when I can no longer be humbled.
Favorite on-screen sex scene
"Lie with Me." Young, and WOW.
The celebrity I resemble the most
Why would I want to resemble a celebrity, unless it was Cal
Ripken, but I'm not looking for a guy who wants to go
out with Cal Ripken ...
The best or worst lie you've ever told:
Oh dear. Lies used to pour from my mouth like water from a
spring. Some
I am proud of out of sheer creativity. Most I am not. Age has
helped. Who wrote these questions? Some repressed shrink?!
If I could be anywhere right now
Horseback riding in an Italian vineyard...
Five items I can't live without
A whisk. A library. My friends. My nephew. My mind.
Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
Brains are sexy. Honesty is sexier (but then again, who
am I kidding, so is a cowboy in a tight-ass pair of jeans,
or a guy on a Harley with a shaved head !!).
In my bedroom one will find...
Moroccan pillows and golden walls. A photograph of a barn.
One of my brother's pieces, made from pickings from
the dump near where we grew up. A trunk full of halloween
costumes. A deep blue ceiling.
