About Me

About me?

Um, I cannot keep a straight face while saying the word "Y'all"

My Interests

In no particular order: Driving around aimlessly for hours and maybe accidentally ending up in Massachusetts (again), watching cartoons (so i'm 29, deal with it) Sleep, insomnia, snowoboarding and absolutely anything that has to do with snow especially that smell in the air just before it begins to snow, hiking, reading, hiking, running, purposely confusing people, movies, music, experimenting with my digital camera, Learning things you can't find in books, playing with Loki & Odin, my buns Sid & Ava, Pondering the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything which we already know is 42. showers. Tattoos are neat, I have quite a few. Lots o' piercings too.

I'd like to meet:

What unites us universally is our emotions, our feelings in the face of experience, and not necessarily the actual experiences themselves. - Anais Nin

Television:

Let me put it this way.. You haven't lived until you've watched Angry Beavers at 4am. Gargoyles, Reboot, Loony Tunes, Anime is always fun. Doesn't get much better than Adult Swim either. Well, it isn't as good as it used to be, actually. I also like SciFi - Stargate, Battlestar Galactica (old and new) Farscape, Smallvile when i remember to watch it (which is never) I also like documentaries/specials on the weird & occult. Ancient civilations are good too. (History major & future history teacher) I watch a lot of movies. I also watch Nip/Tuck, Lost and Veronica Mars when it was on. Oh, I absolutely loathe survivor and crap like that. Heroes is good too. But the best thing going on tv right now: Doctor Who! David Tenant is brilliant as The Doctor. Oh and if you can catch it somehow Torchwood is pretty kick-ass itself.
