i'm a pompous snob.

My Interests

Music:

lately, just muse, and classical of course

Movies:

before sunrise, sleeping beauty, nine months, this is spinal tap, the princess bride, dead poets society

Books:

Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Moon Palace, In Cold Blood, Please Kill Me, The Namesake, The Hottest State, Le Petit Prince, L'Etranger, Half of a Yellow Sun

Heroes:

I've never been one for heroes.
