No need for consternation, everything is under control

About Me

Post China Jen: No longer like milk...actually I'm lactose intolerant, bummer, no longer afraid of little dogs...actually I don't really care about little dogs at all, I appreciate public restrooms and free toilet paper, still incapable of using words larger than 3 syllables.

My Interests

music, people, books, travel

I'd like to meet:

myself 5 years ago or 5 years from now....seriously wouldn't that be cool.

Music:

Matt Kearny, James Carrington, Bear, Joe Purdy, Peter Blue,

Movies:

Die Hard, Die Hard 2 (seriously, but I haven't seen the 3rd one yet so I can't say about that) I mean who doesn't love a good action star killing people in his bare feet, Braveheart, The Mission, Pretty in Pink

Television:

The Office, Friends, Grey's Anatomy, 24, Lost

Books:

Pedagogy of the Oppressed (not for fun, for a class)

Heroes:

Artists...tattoo, musicians, writers, photographers, poets, painter, you get the idea. To me art is the greatest expression of the person inside of you that no one else can see or truly get.
