into: Music of all kinds, reading (when I choose to make the time), the awesome local drum line I play with, collecting dinosaurs, American Sign Language and Deaf culture, searching for the next really great tattoo, burning the candle at both ends, keeping my family guessing what the hell I'm going to do next
not into: Ballerina flats, hugging trees, shopping malls, playing corporate games with underqualified Barbie doll administrators;
makes me happy: Sleeping in; hugs & kisses; presents (both giving & getting); bangin' drums with the line; sunshine in February; MRI scans that are deemed "stable"; white daisies;
makes me sad: broken hearts, broken promises, the destructive effects of addiction
hobbies: Teaching American Sign Language at a local university...what can I say? I'm an academic weirdo!
5 things i can't live without: hair spray, chocolate, diet Coke, diamox (the drug that made me human again!), music
vices: Starbucks, diet Coke, big tall chunky shoes, MAC makeup, martinis, tanning (and not that phoney airbrush shit either!), a tidy office
thoughts on sg: I like it
gender: female
occupation: Trust me, I'm a doctor.
current crush: I've quit crushing -- it's too hard on my heart.
body mods: Far too many ear piercings -- 14 in all (incl left tragus and helix, right industrial); nose; navel; tattoos on legs, wrist, both hips, backpiece, eyebrows and the nape of my neck. Oh! and a nitinol femoral artery clip in my right leg -- a permanent souvenir left over from a brain angiogram.
gets me hot: intelligence; creativity; confidence; strong capable, beautiful hands; dimples are a bonus; a good vocabulary and smouldering passion that's always just slightly below the surface.
favorite position: It just doesn't matter as long as I get to be noisy!
fantasy: I would really love to say that my fantasy is to live happily ever after but I'm not sure there is such a thing...Is there?
sign: It's my second language, actually.
most humbling moment: Surviving a spontaneous subarachnoid brain hemorrhage in December 2005. Every day since then feels like an absolute gift.
i lost my virginity: but I think it's trying to find me again.... YIKES!
MY PIGEONHOLES: Fuck you, I defy categories.
