Bijoux  

things that make me really angry!    nothing makes me REALLY angry except maybe traffic snafus and those who misconstrue my stellar intentions.

i would describe the way i dress as…    crunchy yet slick

my musical tastes…    are varied...lately: lounge/electronica/world/jazz/bebop/salsa/merengue...pink martini, ella, coleman hawkins, charlie parker, lucinda williams, rage/machine, white stripes, rev. horton heat, old crow med. show, nick drake, pj harvey, cake...

my favorite place in the whole world is…    whereever i've been last...peru, mallorca, provence, amsterdam, new orleans, west of ireland, desert southwest...too many destinations, not enough vacation time or money! latest adventure? peru. yes it was amazing.

i would best describe my work ethic as…    always do your best. show me the money.

i'm currently reading...    "A Crazy Occupation" by Jamie Tarabay; Nat'l Geographic Outdoor; Utne Reader; NYTimes; tea leaves

my superpowers are...    laughter, enthusiasm and dual US/EU citizenship. that, and the uncanny ability to be both naive and cynical at the same time, at times.

things that turn me -off- include…    concrete hair. lack of manners. braggarts. lack of care for one's own body. people who have monologues instead of conversations. status/money whores. soap scum. unhappy periods.

my turn ons are…    tall dark men. WIT. HUMOR. courage. Originality. a hottie who can choose a good wine one night, build a raging campfire the next while changing my flat tire; thunderstorms, travel, sarcasm, irreverence, honesty, nice eyes, nice teeth, a sweet ass ;-)

when it comes to politics…    same shit, different millenium

the worst (or best) lie i've ever told was...    my name is fran. and that haircut really suits you.

if i'm in front of the tv, i might be watching...    Weeds on Showtime. A DVD. i have eclectic tastes. i love most films foreign, artsy or classic.
