i'm softer than my face would suggest

About Me


music music music. guinness. lover of animals not an eater-of. hate fake people. will never turn down a gig.. no matter what show it is, you can convince me to go unless i don't respect you or your taste in music. i collect joker cards. sucker for any acoustic song and gary lightbody's voice. i have a disorder that compels me to buy "the little prince" just about everytime i find it in a used bookstore. quality over quantity, give me one amazing moment in my life and i could feed off of that for quite sometime. travel is the only thing that i can remember always enjoying. currently i'm needing to go to chicago(art and music scene), prague(lovely old streets and old painted buildings), and of course, back to scottishland anytime because my heart is there. proud owner of a super-ghetto red bike from the 80s that i made even more ghetto so that it's cooler than yours. i enjoy anything cute and/or nerdy and/or simple- riding my bike in the park, holding hands, first kisses, awkward silences, writing/reading letters, warm rain, kids in brightly-coloured rubber boots, slow dancing to really lame old songs that you can't help but love, and jeopardy. i like having terrible paragraphing skills and embracing them :) i also like over-using smilies but i'm trying to be tame.
i out-right stole this video from someone's page, but it's my favourite part (ok, that's a lie but it's close to being my favourite part) of ghost world and it makes me happy... to the extreme.
..
and since we're on the topic of movies, barry (jack black) is basically me here... except i would never turn off belle and sebastian.

My Interests

music, learning more about music and bands and all dat... finding new bands to love, going to gigs (please someone take me to see paddy casey... for now this is as close as i'll be :(
..
other interests include travelling... plotting out the rest of my life and devising a way to become an official scottish citizen. tricking people into thinking i'm nice and making them love me. being sneaky, writing notes, watching football (nfl, brotha) drinking guinness... being ghetto and overusing the term... overusing everything, including but not limited to-lipbalm/gloss, tissues, water and such. noticing how horrible my sentence structure has gotten since msn messenger and thankful that i ain't got no need for english in ma life! overall, my interests are slim... music, beer, friends and scotland. i shoulda just written that and saved y'all the time. sorry 'bout dat.

I'd like to meet:

alex trebeck, my half-brother, that guy over there, or anyone who can teach me something new and lovely, anyone with an appreciation for proper spelling and good music, and anyone who can go on for ages about why they love a certain band that i never would have thought twice about... hahaha... something really good, like bands that are so over... like the age of electric or something. yes. interesting people in general. merci.
