About Me

Amanda Aday is my favorite actress: http://amandaaday.tripod.com
Although I seriously doubt you could get to know me based off a few random sentences scrolled on a webpage, here are a few words: I don't eat turnips. I like walking in the rain. I collect records, and music memorabilia. I like to read biographies. I'm very sarcastic and have a slightly twisted sense of humour. I'm a music snob, and I love all these quotes:
"You say you're tired/How I hate to hear you use that word/Every time it hurts/You say you're tired/How I hate to hear you use that word/Everybody hurts"
"Who am I to say/I know the way you feel/I've felt your pain/And I know your sorrow/You could try to let the past slip away/Live for today/Don't stop believing in tomorrow"
- Warren Zevon, "Never Too Late For Love"
"It's a sad song/And we always seem to be singing to each other/You and me/Sweet and slightly out of key/Like the sound of a running down calliope"
- Warren Zevon, "Tule's Blues"
"And I hope you know that after all these demons have passed and gone/There's always one more left/And we simply can't turn on the light/And we surely can't turn off the night/We can't find away to get away from how we've grown"
- Jim Steinman, "We're Still The Children We Once Were"
"What have I become/My sweetest friend/Everyone I know/Goes away in the end/And you could have it all/My empire of dirt/I will let you down/I will make you hurt"
- Johnny Cash (Trent Reznor), "Hurt"
"And though you might feel afraid to change your life/Close the door and step inside/One door opens/When you learn to let it go/It's gonna take you through the darkness/Gonna carry you home"
- Patti Russo, "One Door Opens"
