About Me

I'm a professional cynic, but my heart's not in it.

My Interests

road trips,dark and spooky things, sarcasm,manchester city football club,goth, stuff, vodka, nightmare before christmas stuff, things that don't frighten me, top 100 singles/top 25 b-side/random top 5 lists, being used for rides.

I'd like to meet:

people.

Music:

adorable, JAMC, PiL, cure, einsturzende neubauten,siouxsie, grim reverb, eternal jamnation, joy division and its derivatives,stone roses, curve,kraftwerk, bauhaus, skinny puppy, love and rockets.

Movies:

can't read, so those without subtitles.

Television:

marquee moon is an alright album, but i think siouxsie's cover of 'little johnny jewel" is superior to the original. either way, i hardly think they were a good enough band to warrant their own interest.

Books:

i haven't gotten to the 'book' level of my adult literacy program.

Heroes:

not my favorite bowie song, but i think the german version is the better of the two.
