About Me

Well, there is a lot I could tell about me. I am abstract, fickle, weird, you name it. I like to impress people because it really does make you feel good (yes I know I am sorry). Random blurbs below.-_-
I can be a total prick when I want to.
I joke around a lot with people. Sometimes it isn't always at the right moment, but usually it is out of fun and games. You'll realize this once I've done it lots of times with you.
I used to be the kind of person that would drown in their sorrows for hours. I've learned to pull myself out of that kind of a life and make myself happier. Although sometimes I have moments where I rant and feel like I'm less than nothing.
I'm a homebody and don't get out much.
I CAN drive now.
I am somewhat greatful for not being able to drive for all those years. I would have never been able to discover my burning love for music had I gone out and been one of the "in" people where I live. I would have been listening to lame shit like T.I. and Nelly and lame bands like Good Charlotte or Evanescence. The town I live in sucks when it comes to that. I'm glad I wasn't one of the unfortunate ones to fall into the death trap of crappy music. I do like some pop artists and music, but for the most part the mainstream music scene today blows ass.
As you can see from my lovely rant above I love, love, LOVE music. It's pretty much the only thing that interests me and the one thing I can talk your ear off about. That and movies of course, but who doesn't love movies as well!??! Nothing is a bigger high for me than music, and nothing in my life has ever brought me more joy. I like anything and I do mean ANYTHING. I'm rather pretentious and an elitist about music, but that's just me. I won't tell you the music you listen to sucks, unless of course you say the music I listen to sucks. Just because it doesn't make sense to you and requires a little more deep thinking that usual, doesn't mean it isn't good.
I'm a dork AND a loser. This may be cliche and overused, but I'm serious. Besides, I was one of those "dorks" and "losers" before it became popular, so in yo' face! I have friends though. I don't have very many friends. That doesn't matter because life isn't a popularity contest. It used to bother me and I carry much of the painful baggage still. I have learned to put up with the fact that I am socially awkward and probably never will be good at making and keeping friendships. Unless of course you like music a lot like me. WE WILL BE BFF'S!!!!!!
I am strongly against racism and this is a big shtick for me. I see no significance in being racist these days. Racism was condoned back in the day (for stupid reasons), but that was back in the day, not present day. Grab hold of the times and pull your head out of your ass.
I hate people who don't condone the simple task of picking up a book and reading it. I am no bookworm myself, but when you say "reading iz fur loozerz" it makes you look like an idiot. Get yourself some edumacation (sarcasm). READ.
I am FAT. If that makes you click out of my profile, that is perfectly fine. I am not going to waste my time with someone who isn't going to bother getting to know the real me instead of my outside facade, which is greater than my oblong shape.
I hate all those tards who like to put their first name and add (name here)! At The Disco. I mean, yeah I like Panic! At The Disco, but that is so lame and unoriginal especially after it has been used 32408340 times. Do something cooler (with a cooler band) like Clap Your Hands Say (name here) or (name here) Wants Revenge.

My Interests

VERY many things. Music is pretty much at the top of the list for the mere fact that I love it (I was into music before it became trendy!). I also LOVE movies, taking photos, sociology, psychology, geography, learning about cultures, sports, sign language rocks, interaction with people, impressing people, being a total bum, hanging with friends, filling out my favorites, being right, doing lots of fun shit, doing a whole shitload of nothing, drinking, partying....you know, lots of things that interest people.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who can spark up a good music conversation with me, and anybody who isn't a complete whore. Doesn't really matter to me. I'm not really here to "meet" anybody anyways.
I'd also like to meet Ian Curtis in some way or form someday, Trent Reznor, Scott Weiland, Billy Corgan, Bjork, Michael Stipe, Thom Yorke, Brian Molko, Frank Black, Paul Francis, Stephin Merritt, etc.

(insert witty comment here)

Music is a giant part of my life for the mere fact that it is the one thing that can speak to you and can be interpreted in your own unique way. It knows no specified language! My top favorites of all time are the following: The Smashing Pumpkins (awesome live), Radiohead, Bjork (awesome live), Morrissey, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails (awesome live), R.E.M., Stone Temple Pilots, Kate Bush, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Pixies, Joy Division, New Order, Sonic Youth, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Tool (AWESOME LIVE), The Cure, Faith No More (or anything Mike Patton really), Bat For Lashes, Sage Francis (awesome live), Aesop Rock (awesome live), Talib Kweli, K-Os, Mos Def, Hieroglyphics, Buck 65 (awesome live), Sigur Ros, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ladytron, Blonde Redhead, The Magnetic Fields, The Flaming Lips, Feist, Regina Spektor, The Velvet Underground, The Jam, Kraftwerk, Muse, Aphex Twin, Death Cab For Cutie (VERY GOOD live), The Postal Service, Interpol, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty, Beck, Joanna Newsom (great live), The Mars Volta.
