    Alison's Interests
General....Always: Love, compassion, respect, sincerity, forgiveness, faith, kindness, gratitude, hope (I'm building on rocks from now on, but life's more fun with a little hope). Walking the talk. Failing a lot. Living passionately. Moxie. Gumption. Verve. Feminism. Trying to not act shy even if I feel that way.

Right now: Decorating, exploring my neighborhood, living poorly (but creatively!), thumbing through cookbooks for recipes for dinner parties, tea parties, pizza parties, un-birthday parties. "Upcycling." Box/community/urban gardens.

In general: reading and writing (especially hyperfiction, nonlinear fiction, short fiction and essays), making things, learning things, aspects of time, photo-based art, performance art, Total Artwork, paper, intense conversation, laughing heartily/listening to laughter, systems, cognitive science, augmented humans/cyborgs, haptics, the body, specimens/specimen-making, trees and bark and branches and leaves, ice, swarms, thunderstorms, walking for entertainment, health and meditative purposes, thrift stores and flea markets and garage sales (the pursuit of the undiscovered!), the ecstatic, systemic thinking, growth, renewal, cycles, etc.....
MusicIn general: Pre-disco soul, r&b and funk, singer-songwriters, angsty girl groups of the '60s, rockabilly, psychobilly, alt-country, old country, honky-tonk, swampy backwoods stuff, and folk.

   Alison's Blurbs
About me:
....
A rich creamy blend of clown and silent film star, with a dollop of cartoon, and just a dash of Debbie Reynolds mixed in at the last possible moment. Maybe a little I don't know what on the side. Oh, and my favorite words are flummox and plumb bob.

Enticing Quote:

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

- Albert Einstein
Who I'd like to meet:
....Tortoises and people worth trusting. Those who treat you like they mean it. Also, sheer brilliance, Artificial Linguistic Entities, visionaries, artists, scientists, someone who will walk me to my car, and anyone who looks good in a skinny tie. Oh, yeah, and a man who listens.....
