Introduction I adore my brilliant and beautiful 12 year old daughter. She is uniquely matched to be truly a gift in my life. I love my home and my friends. I LOVE my Goodman! I work as a program specialist on a juvenile delinquency prevention program for teens. I love exploring creativity. I like attention and pampering :-) No games and drama. Just good times and some occasional sad or angry and real ones too.
Interests Kindness The Elements: fire, water, air, earth, spirit Amy's Ice cream, Alamo Drafthouse, Cafe Mundi. Texas Rollergirls flat track, Austin's Park and Southside Tattoo (Chris Gunn RULES!).
Favorite Movies Blade Runner, Magnolia, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, Serenity, Elizabethtown, Rent, Casablanca, LOTR, Matrix, Wallace and Gromit, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Maltese Falcon Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Alias, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, CSI (original or NY - NOT miami), Ally McBeal (I'm old), West Wing, Firefly, The Daily Show, Battlestar Galactica. And I do get sucked into "Lifetime....television for women" sometimes. But I am also known to watch "Spike" TV, Sci-Fi, F/X, and Masterpiece Theater.
Favorite Music Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Melissa Etheridge, Carole King, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ottmar Liebert, The Eagles, Astor Piazzolla, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Edith Piaf, System of A Down, Nina Hagen, Bangladesh, Evanescense. Ok, and I admit it. I like Jewel. And used to have a HUGE crush on Steve Perry of Journey. And right now I think I am in love with Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Favorite Books Marion Winik essays, Mists of Avalon, Harry Potter, Poetry, whatever my daughter is reading. Sci-fi, Buffy novels, mysteries, memoirs, comics (Birds of Prey, Fell). Guilty pleasure of an occasional People magazine (Do you hate me now?) non-fiction on educational reform, adolescent development, parenting
