I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

-I'm a devout agnostic. I don't know, and you don't either. -NOBODY has ever EARNED a billion dollars. Ever. -If you're concerned about Mexican immigration, perhaps start by convincing American companies to stop exploiting Mexicans both here and in Mexico as cheap labor. -Health care is not a privilege. It's a right. -Environmentalism should not be a special interest. It's hard to live without a planet. -Oil will not always be there. -A living woman is more important than a potential baby. -Genitals are not a blueprint for behavior. Period. Wear what you want, sleep with who you want, and leave me alone. -There is NO EXCUSE for a business owner to make 300 times what his employees (who pay his bills) make. NONE. Really, there isn't much justification for them to make more than twice what they do, especially given that the lower paid workers usually do a hell of a lot more than the owner anyway. -Religion has no place in law. If you want to base your laws on something uncertain and unprovable, try the weather forecast. At least then you have a shot. -Your car could be smaller. -The only abortion question that matters is: Who are you to tell me what my personal ethics and morals should be? It's not homicide, because it has no concrete effect on anyone OUTSIDE of the woman herself--meaning, it's her choice, not yours. Period. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !

My Interests


I like pretty much anything absurd and ridiculous, but I'm still kind of a shy and nervous person. I like sitting around and bullshitting with my friends probably more than anything. I used to like to do this on roadtrips, but that was when gas prices started with a "1". I can be a wee bit neurotic. I like big words, but they make me sound pretentious, so I don't use them as much as I really want to. (Pretentious is a big word. I don't know if that's ironic or fitting.) I love books,libraries, museums, and a whole bunch of other geeky shit, but I also like to wear tall strappy shoes. Nothing gives me mojo like a pair of wedges with an ankle strap. I'm probably late. I love dogs(especially my Scottie), thunderstorms, and good cheese. I want to live by the ocean really, really badly.HERE IT IS KIDS, THE TEN TYPES OF REPUBLICANS! good stuff watch it... width="425" height="350".. .. ..

I'd like to meet:

Somebody who's really into science, how the world works, etc. Basically, if you're really into whatever it is that makes you tick (and aren't a big snot about it) that's neat. Passion is good.On the off-chance that there is some sort of afterlife, I would sincerely love to see my dog Scottie again. I do understand what's so appealing to Christians about heaven, because it would be so nice to think that he's off in some awesome place, chatting with my grandma about how I'm doing. I know better, but I still really miss seeing his furry face. He gave the best dog-hugs. Yeah, that's sappy. Whatever.I'd also like to meet Don Hertzfeldt, and then apologize to him for putting a free copy of one of his cartoons on my page:

Music:

Pearl Jam and Radiohead above all, the Jealous Sound, At the Drive-In, Moby, a lot of 80's pop, a lot of stuff that bummed-out kids in the '90's listened to, most stuff that happens to be British, some of what they play on the radio right now, bad early 90's drag queen dance music, a couple of old country artists even, anything scratchy and old that makes me feel like it's the 1920's or so, some electronic stuff, just a general wide variety mess of shit

Movies:

American Beauty, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Pleasantville, anything and everything by Don Hertzfeldt, including the Animation Show movies (www.bitterfilms.com), What Dreams May Come, Moulin Rouge, Amelie, Boondock Saints, A Clockwork Orange, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Benny and Joon, the Breakfast Club, Edward Scissorhands, Psycho, Pulp Fiction, the Shawshank Redemption, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life and Search for the Holy Grail, sex, lies, and videotape, the Crow, Gia, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Connie and Carla, I heart Huckabee's, Intermission, of course the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Christopher Guest and co. movies (like Best in Show), Office Space, Waiting, Chinatown, Moonstruck, Breakfast at Tiffany's, some Woody Allen stuff, some John Waters stuff, good documentaries, Taxi Driver, Dog Day Afternoon, Death to Smoochy, Sin City, Airplane!, Little Miss Sunshine, Hitchcock stuff, Borat!, Blades of Glory, pretentious black and white stuff

Television:

I like some sitcoms, mostly old ones (like Roseanne and the Golden Girls), and I love the fuck out of cartoons, like Tom Goes to the Mayor and anything by Don Hertzfeldt (see the Bitter Films profile on my page). I get a kick out of the British comedies that they put on PBS, and other stuff on PBS in general. I don't have cable, so the only other stuff I really watch is Law and Order, Scrubs, Criminal Minds, and Family Guy.
MySpace Countdown....

Books:

1984 and other stuff by George Orwell (though he kind of falls away from his socialist perspective in "Keep the Aspidistra Flying," and that bothers me), The Dark Tower series, the Stand, and most anything by Stephen King, most anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Flowers for Algernon, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, comic anthologies of Bloom County, Doonesbury, Calvin and Hobbes, and the Far Side; Memoirs of a Geisha, A Clockwork Orange, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and pretty much anything else by Edward Albee, Waiting for Godot, The Grapes of Wrath, anything by Amy Tan, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (no, i haven't seen the movie), Nickel and Dimed, the Great Gatsby (and Fitzgerald in general), numerous biographies, and i actually enjoy most of my sociology textbooks

Heroes:

He's one of my heroes even WITH this hair.

Thank you, Ohio, seriously
