About Me

I define myself by my last name, but I'm the only one who knows what's in the definition. I'm also getting to define myself by what I like more than what I don't like, but I'm a cultural relativist at heart so in the end it's all undefined.
I study literature and read literature and write [bullshit] just for the sake of writing it, I'm practising my Nobel-acceptance speech, my honorary doctorate degree speech (which begins, appropriately, with "I've been waiting for this since I was 22") and the words that'll charm the world. I figure as long as they're in writing it might just work.
I'm Sami , queer (I used to be straight, then I was a lesbian, now I'm easy - well, easily charmed), a student , a proof reader , a coffee drinker and I define myself by strange sort of things I don't think anyone else can see the definition of. I'm practising blurring the difference between denotations and connotations. I've studied for long enough that I keep using difficult words in place of easier ones, I'm arrogant enough not to bother changing that. (I'm stupid enough to enjoy calling myself arrogant)
I really am quite likeable, I think.
(nuorra means young and gaski is my last name, so there's that explanation. it's like the longwinded, Sami way of calling myself gaski jr.)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people and other fun things.
a pair of shoes not out to kill me.
someone with a music collection that perfectly complements my own.
etc

took just about all I had just to make it come home

The title is a line from a song by Kris Delmhorst, you can see the entirety of it here, 'cause it kind of needs context, but I don't care. (Also, it became abruptly appropriate, which is always someth...

I never flirt, I don't even try

I wish I was better at flirting with girls - and or really rather, I wish I could find girls with whom there would be any point to flirting - and I wish I could stop flirting with guys - though really...

Do you like to hurt, I do I do, then hurt me, hurt me...

There are things, like e-mails I should write and people I ought to talk to, a certain desire to listen to "Lover I Don't Have To Love" over and over (it's bad that that's kind of what I want from a r...
