I am a poet, artist, small business partner, box office manager, fiance, daughter, sister, reader, lover of words, retro queen, music addict, scatterbrained intellectual, and I am made of so many different genes and traits it's ridiculous. I have a Protestant-structured belief in God, but don't like the term "religious;" it doesn't sound right for the way I see spiritual matters.

I have an enormous alphabetical list of this somewhere (the only things in my life that are hyper type-A organized are my music and movies), but I'm just going to have to do this off the cuff. A tiny portion of what's on my iPod: Be Your Own Pet, The Black Keys, David Bowie, Bread, The Cars, Dandy Warhols, The Faint, Feist, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, HelloGoodbye, Interpol, Maximo Park, The Murder City Devils, MuteMath, The New Pornographers, Ric Ocasek, The Raveonettes, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The Smiths, Regina Spektor, The Unicorns, Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Too many to ever list here, but a few that are at the top of my list are these:

Colors Insulting to Nature-- Cintra Wilson; Pricksongs and Descants-- Robert Coover; Sun Under Wood-- Robert Hass; The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas-- Gertrude Stein; The Triggering Town-- Richard Hugo; Writing Down the Bones-- Natalie Goldberg

Anything by Gregory Maguire or Francesca Lia Block

lemonade, purses, fishnets, retro style, scarves, French and other foreign languages, hard candy, journals, notebooks, asian-inspired items, neat office supplies, theatre, poetry, playing dress-up, fairies, mermaids, unusual craft components, pin-ups, things organized by color, '80s cartoony stuff like: My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, and such

licorice, coffee, items that promote liberal causes, holiday themed items that are REALLY traditional; guess there isn't much I don't like!
