F****ing tired

About Me

I’m loud, equally random and apparently asian... i'm an ex student of philosophy, an occasional designer, a future super villian, a lazy bum and most of all an aspiring aspirer... in high school i lusted after this beautiful boy who carried his lunch in a plastic supermarket bag…now i mostly lust after beautiful boys who lust after other beautiful boys... i like coffee and frolicking on 3am delirium...i am funny and 30 helens agrees (well technically only one helen but she has said so on 30 some occasions...)...i'm at a personal best on the verge of an existential crisis... i like my men bitter, inked, drunk and slurring…for someone straight, i am in love with an abnormally large amount of girls... i can't spell to save my own life...i can't resist a reflective surface...i’m drawn to all things white trash...all my childhood pets met tragic ends (to this day I am still planning to avenge the tragic death of my pet porcupine)... some other things you should know…never pick pepsi over coke…shunji iwai and william castle movies rock…lisps are cute (maybe)…as are bright plastic 80's earrings(always)…wooden ducks are rad...my clothing brand ikaros will one day be both famous and infamous...having 10 pairs of converse is never enough…books from future tense publishing are the best 4 dollars you will ever spend...shorts on guys are just wrong…derek hess and matthew barney are gods among men...the food network and the discovery channel = always entertaining…there is no such thing as being too well read…the smell of old spice mixed with bounce sheets makes me grrw(in a good way)..rice rockets are the carriages of the devil…and finally...snowboarders are hot...useless post grad degrees are hotter..but a well done tattoo sleeve is still the hottest…ginger’s quote of the year: “if I’m gonna emotionally put out…the fucker better physically put out…”
