You can't spell awesome without ME.

About Me

Nothing but the truth... I watch Saved By the Bell before I go to sleep at night so I won't have nightmares. One day, I plan on starting a band called My Pet Dinosaur. I own two record players but neither of them work. It makes me feel uncomfortable when people tell me how skinny I am. A few years ago at the Chicago Film Festival, I sat no more than 10 feet away from Christopher Walken. My car sounds like a motorcycle. My emotions are somewhat unstable and ridiculous at times. I own more skirts than pairs of pants. I never make my bed. I'm really good at rhyming but I can't rap unless I'm listening to Fun Club. I think that's all. Okay... bye.

My Interests



Smiling, people that are not lame, jumping up and down while playing guitar, writing, dancing, drinking cherry blings, being nice to everyone, eating free pizza, and flying kites.

I'd like to meet:



This is a picture of me meeting the person I'd like to meet!

Music:



AND these bands/people are, like, totally my favorites: White Stripes, Blondie, Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Bikini Kill, Talking Heads, and the Clash.

Movies:



I like these movies toooo: Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Wet Hot American Summer, Pulp Fiction, Swingers, High Fidelity, and Halloween. OH! ALSO... I love that scene in Ransom when Mel Gibson goes, "GIVE ME BACK MY SON!"

Television:



The television in my apartment gets really bad reception but when I'm in front of a working TV, I like to watch this stuff: Price is Right, Six Feet Under, the Office, Conan O'Brien, Cheaters, and America's Next Top Model.

Books:



I have read and thoroughly enjoyed the following books: Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno, Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, Pretty in Punk... by Lauraine Leblanc, and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman.

Heroes:

Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire.

I am in a rotten mood.  I am a total grouch- just like that asshole on Sesame Street.My birthday is coming up in four weeks.  I think I'm going to spend the night at the Empty Bottle watchin...

For Lent, Give up.

Yesterday at work, I was serving a team of old ladies.  When I told them my name was Shannon, they all started going on about what a pretty Irish name I had.  When I told them my full name (...

I am a wildcat, you are a worm. And we are chasing each other and taking turns.

First order of business... Baker's Square can eat a scrotum.  They are refusing to send me my final paycheck because they don't have my address.  They are also claiming that they can't call ...

Look what you did... you little jerk!

I took my car to the mechanical doctor today.  He is still very noisy.  I guess being loud is just his nature... I should get off his case already.  One day, I will have money and I wil...

Have fun but be safe with it... just kidding! Fuck shit up!

I've been thinking about my education lately.  In about seven months, I will have a degree in Broadcasting and Women's Studies.  I've been working towards this since 2003 and once I get it, ...

I've got more stories than JD's got Salinger.

I have some time to waste before my Death and Dying class begins.  It's interesting subject matter.  Too bad it's not useful since I'm never going to die.  Or get old.  Or even gai...

Kool thing.

Who's going to see Sonic Youth at the Double Door tomorrow night? (If you could see me right now, I'm totally raising my hand.) Tickets were only available through a contest on XRT's website.  Bu...

It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.

Today is August 1st.  I have to go back to school in a little over a month and I think that's pretty lame.  I have done nothing but work this entire summer.  I am pretty sick of working...

The future's open wide!

Today has been quite lovely.  I woke up next to a cute boy and then I heard the Modern English twice on the radio while driving to work.  And now I am getting paid a lot of money to rea...
