Sarah Rachel (Self-Preservation)

Yeah, we're a mess but let me just stress -- we're both at our best in a tight spot. Whatever comes

About Me



I like indiepop and I like Korean dramas and political blogs and I paint sometimes.

I like to quote Lucksmiths songs. At some point, I will probably tell you to listen to a certain Lucksmiths song, any song, but probably a song that I think fits you.

I'm still kind of perma-lonely.

(I'm in love with myself)

www.ahprahran.com Blog Mostly music, occasionally random crap like painting, artists, drugs, Transmetropolitan, korean dramas. Stuff that I like and want to tell people about.
Livejournal. Emo Livejournal stuff. Stupid two-line entries saying how I feel today, usually.
Last.fm -- See what kind of music I listen to (I rarely use this anymore, but you can see that I listen to too much Spangle call Lilli line and too much Lucksmiths, and waaaaay too much Bright Eyes for my sanity)

My Interests

Internet, IRC, Sarah Records, Indiepop, Ska, Japanese indie music, Beksinski, Asian men, finding pictures of Anatoli Karpov before he got old and fat, buying shoes, citrus fruits, doing Performance Art of making tons of little paper boats out of receipts while working.

I'd like to meet:

Amelia Fletcher. Twee pop goddess, and all around person-I-wish-I-could-be-like.

Spider Jerusalem.

Someone who knows what to say to "Emma's house is empty." Kind of like that time someone said "Is it April yet?" and I said "I forget sometimes how slowly summer passes," and I felt cool.

A germ-free adolescent!
