Rats. I love rats. They're adorable. I used to have a rat. I miss him. Let's see. . . The usual things. Music, books, movies. I'd like to start playing the piano again, but unfortunately I don't have one lying around to practice on. Hanging out. Cooking. Cubist collage. Dada. Antiques. Hats. Writing. Etc.
I'd like to meet:
Anybody. Everybody. Nobody. I'd like to meet Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood, and Chuck Palahuiuk. They were/are awesome. I'd like to have drinks with Amanda and Brian from The Dresden Dolls, because their talent overwhelms me. Or just go to bed with them. Maybe some of their talent would rub off on me. I'd like to meet Elliott Smith, mais il est mort. C'est la vie. Oh, and Bill Murray. I think meeting him would be fucking awesome.
Music:
Elliott Smith, The Murder City Devils, The Misfits, The Dresden Dolls, The Briefs, The Bronx, Wednesday Night Heroes, Ani DiFranco, Weezer, NOFX, Sleater-Kinney, Blonde Redhead, Interpol, Mindless Self-Indulgence, Modest Mouse, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Harvey Danger, The Thermals, A Perfect Circle, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Violent Femmes, Death From Above 1979, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Placebo. . . shit, I could go on for hours. . .
Movies:
Anything John Waters ever wrote and directed. Charade, Swingers, Benny and Joon, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Trainspotting, Snow Falling on Cedars, Empire Records, Mallrats, Amelie, The Usual Suspects, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Serenity, Saved, But I'm a Cheerleader, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, I heart Huckabees, Brick, Waiting, Little Miss Sunshine, Run Lola Run, The Big Lebowski, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Edward Scissorhands, Tank Girl, etc.
Television:
I don't watch tv. It eats your soul with a rusty spoon. But I love cartoons. Futurama. Oh, yeah.
Books:
Alias Grace and Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Lullaby and Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. Pretty much any book of fairy tales and good re-told fairy tales. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Crooked, and Brave New Girl all changed my life a long time ago.
Heroes:
My mom. I say it because it's true. Many other strong women are also my heroes, but that's a long list. Sam Green, another personal hero of mine. Hayden Carruth, but only because of one of his poems. Shit, I don't know.
