About Me

I THINK... I have a plan. I'm almost done with my dog training certification program. I actually have me first official client already. I'm hauling ass to finish up my undergrad. After that, I'll spin a globe, point a finger, and start over. Masters= biopsychology. Once I have that, I'll be one of those people you see on tv playing with bonobos in the jungle, or elephants on the Savannah, or following dolphins around with an underwater tape recorder, or tracking mountain lions through the forest. Or I may just go live with wolves for a while. And the dog training... will provide a reliable income while I fight for grants to do the rest of this stuff :) THAT... believe it or not, is the short version. Read; I babble. I'm only consice when it's absolutely necessary. So now all the boring shit is out of the way... Other pertinent information: I'm really weird, really uncoordinated, have a problem meeting my potential, and care way too much. I do not like odd numbers. I wish I were a faster reader. I would, in fact, like to perfect the art of being studiously aloof. I'm pretty sure I am a romantic buried deep in the skin of a cynic. If you want more you'll have to ask. ...FYI... the sections of my profile that just show punctuation... you can see the rest if you scroll over it.

My Interests

Many and varied. Granimals. Music. Foreign languages. Language in general. Reading. Writing. People. Riding. Neato drinks. Thinking. Movies. Trying to play guitar. And pretty much everything else there is to be interested in other than exercise and raisins.Why I miss NYC:Entertainment:
Get this video and more at MySpace.com

I'd like to meet:

I assume this question refers to who I would like to meet here, in this glittering world of friendship and amatuer digital photography. Anyone who can tell me something I have never heard before is cool. Whether the something is true or just creative. Also... people who can truly be honest. Blunt, even. Blunt is great. Just tell it like it is. Too many people for my taste seem to have a serious problem doing this. As much as I hate to say this, if you want to add me as a friend, email me. If you're a band, please, PLEASE don't send me a friend request unless my list of favorite music actually makes you think there is a significant possibility that I will like your music.So all that and...

Music:

"Take off your Band-Aid 'cuz I don't believe in touchdowns." "Live through this, and you won't look back." "Another game of putting things aside, as if we'll come back to them sometime." "I will bring my heart, I will bring my face, you name the time and place." WILCO, JOHN VANDERSLICE, ANI, ELLIOTT, SEVENDUST, TOOL, old school Counting Crows (yeah, I said it), Paddy Kilrain, Whiskeytown, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, Son Volt, Ben Folds, Disturbed, Belle & Sebastian, The Rosenbergs, Audioslave, Neilson Hubbard, Duke Daniels, Death Cab for you-know-who, Chris Cornell, Catherine Wheel, Neutral Milk Hotel, Deftones, Modest Mouse, most 80s, Pantera, Gus Black, Seventeen Evergreen, Varnaline, Pavement, Silverjet, The Rentals, The Lemonheads, Ween, Live, Alien Ant Farm (shhh- don't tell), old Billy Joel, old U2, Sordid Humor, The Pixies, The Flaming Lips, Rush, Cake, a little Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, An Angle, Denali, My Morning Jacket, Porcupine Tree, old school LI punk (Microwave Orphans, Freaks from the Apocolypse, etc.), Destroyer, Margot, Kitten's new-school grunge, Sean Lennon, Pedro the Lion, The Shins, Radiohead, classic rock, The Weakerthans, Shellac, Sufjan Stevens, Of Montreal, Ghosty, The Pernice Brothers, I don't know- a million others...Best music shop EVER: Although I have to say: RIP Music Shack- best music shop anywhere around here. Pretty much the only decent one period. You guys are awesome. Thanks.

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Dead Poets Society, Home for the Holidays, A Clockwork Orange, The Princess Bride, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind, The House of Yes, But I'm a Cheerleader, lots of 80s movies, Milo and Otis, Beautiful Girls, Breakfast on Pluto

Television:

SVU, EVets (a small caveat- the really cute ones always die.), King of the Hill, MSCL & Northern Exposure, Six Feet Under (RIP), House, Scrubs. And a super-secret show.

Books:

Memory Sorrow and Thorn, A Song of Ice and Fire, (The Comical Tragedy or Tragical Comedy of) Mr. Punch, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Reading Lolita in Tehran, almost any Shakespeare, Milton- poetry, NOT prose, namely L'Allegro/Il Penseroso... I know those aren't really books- well they are books, they're not novels- whatever- Lolita, A Wolf by the Ears, Breakfast of Champions

Heroes:

I don't really have heroes. There are too many people out there with too much wisdom to offer to pick a few. But I do admire/envy/aspire to be like to some extent anyone who is ridiculously intelligent, stunningly beautiful, insanely creative, immensely talented, intensely ambitious, brutally honest, unrelentingly optimistic, (even overly) confident, or simply content. But... when you get down to it, I do not begrudge those people their assets. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Well, a couple, at least. Okay, maybe one. But that's something, right?
