I have no problem not listening to The Temptations, which is weird.

About Me

I am quiet, reserved and shy...for a while. I love when bands do acoustic versions of songs that are drastically different from the original. I think Adidas sandals are the most comfortable things in the world. I use Google obsessively. I don't like to have the heat on in my car in the winter. I think if you have anything that is important to you, the best place to store it is in an old cigar box. I habitually overuse commas. I don't like leaving voicemails. I can't wait until I get to use my passport. I think that jokes are only funny once. I think Miracle Whip does make a better turkey sandwich. Chips + salsa = perfect snack. I think accountants are sexy. I'm an accountant, do the math. Which, i suppose, is an odd request coming from an accountant.

My Interests

Kingdom of Loathing, McEwans Scotch Ale, Sudoku, Cincinnati Bengals, old RPGs on my Nintendo, Chipotle, and for some reason I really like accounting

I'd like to meet:

An alcoholic midget with a crude sense of humor to be my sidekick. Seriously, everywhere I go I want to roll in my my drunken little midget friend.

Music:

I'm pretty much all over the board here. Lately I've been listening to Jack Johnson, Audioslave, Death Cab for Cutie, Matchbox 20, Radiohead, John Coltrane, Morning Runner, Muse, Snow Patrol, The Kooks, and Morphine

Movies:

I love really long movies. Seven Years in Tibet, Schindler's List, LoTR, Braveheart, and Gladiator. Just saw The Departed and loved it.

Television:

I haven't watched much television lately. But I love Scrubs and The Office. Also, Six Feet Under is really amazing. I kind of wish I knew about it earlier. The only show I try to watch weekly is ER.

Books:

Mark Z. Danielewski - House of Leaves; Kurt Vonnegut - Breakfast of Champions; John Knowles - A Separate Peace; The entire Harry Potter series; Chuck Palahniuk - Choke and Survivor; Christopher Moore - Lamb and Island of the Sequined Love Nun. I just got a new stack of books to read, so I might add a few in a bit

Heroes:

Me. I'm pretty awesome.
