Daver

Still embarrassed about that whole raver thing.

About Me

Let's update this, shall we?

Filling out this section is personality masturbation. "I am a, b and c, and I'm alright with that!" or "These are my favorite things about myself," etc. It's almost as bad as the "Books" section where people either rant on and on to show how well read they think they are, or they make some comment they think is funny, but is really just sad (see mine for an example).

This is the closest approximation of my bedtime skills:

My Interests

Living outside of my means, finishing writing my book(s), spending entire weekends not moving more than six feet. Five of the seven deadly sins.

I'd like to meet:

People who make me laugh, not at them but with them. Wookies. People who realize that life isn't planned and you certainly can't figure it out. People who perhaps, just maybe, resemble Wookies. People who are harder to figure out than Ikea instructions. People who can do a good Wookie impression.

Music:

Anything and everything. Except the goddamn weird ass IDM that my new idiot hipster neighbors feel the need to blare out their apartment so that the entire fucking neighborhood can learn to hate white people.

Movies:

Romantic comedies! I like it when movies explore the depths of human romance through the use of light physical comedy and character actors only to, in the end, reinforce archaic stereotypes and outdated social mores.

Television:

30 Rock is the greatest thing on TV right now.

Books:

Large ones about real things.

Heroes:

It's an alright show, I guess, It's certainly revitalized the NBC network as a whole.
