Infinite Riches in a Small Room

About Me

I have an enduring love for all things well put together. Life is too short to have poorly designed objects or unintentional individuals around. Yet I tend to find people in all their varieties infinitely interesting (that’s the amateur cultural anthropologist coming out). The thing about new people is that you don't know then. Which I believe can sometimes be remedied through lots of wordy mailings. Wit and sarcasm are my bread and butter.----------------------------------------------Quotati ons not my own:"i would like to express more violence in my work.""beauty is not a very well-balanced thing; it has to be disturbing and uncomfortable."-Christian Lacroix----------------------

My Interests

Walking city streets, reading everything accessible, drinking too much, talking to strangers and generally having a good time and laughing at all that results from this sort of behavioralso....................

I'd like to meet:

Smart, sexy, conversational, glamorous and inspiringly unpredictable people who are not afraid to be themselves. (MORE!) Really what else is there to say? People who write back. People who stay up late and get up early. People who seriously don't take things too seriously. I'm always looking for new connections to social and artistic worlds I never knew existed and contacts with agents in other interzones. I also appreciate high standards of personal hygiene and personal style.

Music:

Mum (from Iceland), Ladytron, Buffalo Daughter, Joy Division, Ellen Alien, the Notwist, Broadcast, Interpol, She Wants Revenge, Kate Havnevik, the Editors, Tristeza

Movies:

Afterlife, The Colors Trilogy, The Decalogue, Waking Life, Ridicule, Tokyo Decadence, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City
