I am mostly great- sometimes difficult. I give people the benefit of the doubt. I am incredibly clumsy. I laugh a lot, and cry occasionally. I love lilacs, magnolias, and my seven-year old daughter. I write books and am working towards the goal of getting my work published/sold. I'm the hardest worker you've ever met.
I've been there, done that. I'm educated... community college, Ivy League, and many years doing exactly what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it.
Currently I'm trying to get a clothing design company off the ground, and am selling my pretty things at an artisan gallery here in Brooklyn. I'm also working on some canvases, and have been offered a little show. Yay!
I love living in Brooklyn. Lightbulbs burn out around me when I am stressed out. I believe in energy, symbiotic relationships and love... that's it. When I can't make something happen, I do it anyway- I make it work. I am loved, I am blessed.
I am a GREAT dancer (at least, I seem to think so), and will most probably fall head over heels if you are able to cut a rug (not literally). Again, I make things work for me, and despite some stresses here and there, I really like this life o' mine.
My Ideal Person:
You adore the people in your life. You don't pretend things are perfect. You won't be upset once you find out that I'm not perfect. You are sincere. You radiate- you live- you love. You make it work too.
Oh- it helps to know beforehand that I prefer the smell of clean soap and skin to pungent cologne. I don't like being able to recognize a scent- it might make me feel like you belong in a department store. Weird? Perhaps...
I'm picky. I like what I like. I just don't know what that really means yet. I might, at some point, get insecure. But I'll get over it, and you'll forget it ever happened.
I do tend to get along best with people who have partied hard, but have (except for the occasional trip to the wrong side of the tracks that leaves one feeling spent the next day) left that life behind for a healthier existence lived mostly during daylight hours.
I like my space, but relish every minute that I spend with my friends and loved ones. Finally, I take my relationships with people very seriously. If I like you, I won't have any hang-ups about further getting to know you. I expect you'll be the same. I have no tolerance for games. None.
The last great book I read
Anything by Junichiro Tanizaki, Hardy. Lately British
Romantic poetry has got my number (Shelley makes my toes
curl). Kawabata. Shakespeare. Auster's 'Translations'.
Didion. Heraclitus makes me cry. So does Hafiz. I also like
architectural journals and old art exhibition catalogues,
although not in a pretentious, too cool for school sort
of way. I read. A lot. It would be cool if you did, too, or at
least just thought that girls who read all the time are F-in
awesome. When I get published, I'll expect you to read
my book.
My most humbling moment
It takes more than a website to make me want to share truly
humbling moments.
Favorite on-screen sex scene
Clumsy scenes that make me feel the love- the hesitation-
the amazement. Unfortunately there are not many scenes
that do that. And really, my brain offers up more interesting
moments than film... That said, I do like people watching.
Confident, slightly off-the-wall people who move well
give me a charge, on screen or off.
The celebrity I resemble the most
I've been told that Uma Thurman looks like me, but I
don't see it.
The best or worst lie I've ever told
I'm not very good at lying- when I was a kid it only seemed
to get me into trouble. A lot of trouble.
If I could be anywhere right now
I'm happy right where I am, although there are many
destinations around the world I'd like to visit...
Five items I can't live without
My kid, books, water, love, creative projects, writing,
fun, muscles, strength, health, sleep, hugs, tears, laughter, sense of smell, vision...
Five things? Hm...
In my bedroom one will find...
My bed. Big windows with white billowing curtains. View
of the Williamsburg Bridge. A million books. Plants.
