I write to remember.

About Me

Freelance writer, wife, and occasional cook in Little Rock, AR. Not interested in anyone's OMG TOP FRIENDS! or silly MySpace BS, but would like to keep in touch with some people.

My Interests

Writing, reading, video games, cooking, music, movies, rolling around in the grass and getting my knees dirty.

I'd like to meet:

Other writers, interesting people, interesting people in Little Rock (if they exist). As for famous people or whatever, as this question probably intended... I'd like to meet Simon Pegg, because he's hilarious, and Chuck Klosterman, because I'd like to stab him not-fatally-but-painfully. In the arm or something. That would work just fine.

Music:

White Stripes, Raconteurs, Pixies, Neutral Milk Hotel, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleater-Kinney, Death in Vegas, Modest Mouse, Mars Volta, the Decemberists, the New Pornographers, Neko Case, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Sigur Ros, the Thermals, Leonard Cohen, Led Zeppelin, Fiona Apple, I could go on forever here. Rally.

Movies:

Amelie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Fight Club, Heavenly Creatures, Kill Bill v. 1 and 2, Vertigo, Citizen Kane, Secretary, Serenity, Irreversible, The Item... so many, impossible to list them all!

Television:

bleh... except for the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. And, of course, the Whedon stuff, but I'm a DVD baby.

Books:

Oh, god. I'm a short story junkie. Better to list authors. Anthony Burgess, Jeffrey Eugenides, Chuck Palahniuk, Tom Perotta, Neal Stephenson, Max Brooks, Jhumpa Lahiri, Stephen King, T.S. Eliot, T.C. Boyle... more, more, more. I'm sure I'll update this one as more authors come to me.

Heroes:

I hate this question.

Sick as hell

I'm so sick that it's ridiculous. I had no idea my body could possibly house so much phlegm. During the last show we attended at Bonnaroo, someone -- trying to be nice, I'm sure -- poured water all ov...

Almost... vacation... time

Every now and then, Christopher and I talk about having babies, and I look around at our schedules and think, oh god. I better enjoy those few hours of sleep now while I can. I'm so glad it's almost t...

Off my lazy ass

There, there's color. I made it pretty. It's even girly-pretty, so everyone can get off my ass now.

So much for that break time

I am so taking a day off soon, and on that day, I'm going to see 28 Weeks Later. And Hot Fuzz better still be in the theater, too. Too much to do in the day!I did get around to uploading some new phot...

Break time... sorta

Finally finished with the semester! My exams weren't too hard, but I did better on the oral on my French exam than I did on the written, which is not at all what I would have predicted. Three weeks of...

I blame Mistah Mo-Man and Emily for this

Both of you suck. Em, your sickness is a plague visited upon you for this. I'm not sure how the Mo is being punished, but i'm sure there's something bad that will happen. Maybe I'll just step on his t...

The state of things

Currently, there is an extreme level of excitement in the house, because in the morning, I'm going to be refreshing like a madwoman before class in an effort to obtain the best possible tickets to the...

You could put a title here if you wanted.

Weak. MySpace hates Firefox on OSX, apparently, which just gives me more reason to breathe fire when I'm here. However, I keep meeting/re-finding cool people who use this shit, so I think... maybe the...
