Used to tend an orchard of chili-cheese fry trees, before "going internet" which meant selling all her possessions and extraneous organs to buy sweet outfits for her Zwinky and an awesome crib in Second Life.
Writing, sketch comedy, comedy, improv and stand-up; drawing; inventing; karaoke; lots of other stuff.
People who will pay me to write for them; a man who writes his own lines, doesn't talk all the time, but doesn't run out of things to say.
Mostly, I only listen to music on other people's MySpace pages. In the car, I use the "radio," which transmits music through the "airwaves." It just works. It doesn't need my attention all the time, just keeps doing what it's doing! It's not high-maintenance. I don't have to keep selecting songs I already know, keeping my overall scope of knowledge narrow.
I'm writing a dissertation on the "Pirates of the Carribean" trilogy. I only wish I could have Bruno Bettleheim as my PhD advisor. Just don't tell me you never saw Bladerunner or Brazil, diaper-boy. I've seen movies.
My favorite show, after House and Bones, is the Red Green Show, it's Canadian, and probably 100 years old. ..
I am currently fascinated by male friendships. I like men, very much, but they are not like me.
I'm really bad at watching TV. If there was a "Television for Dummies" book it would be for me. Yeah, I need to read a book to learn to watch TV. The thing is, you have to keep sitting there to get the job done. I usually say, "You kids keep it up, and I'll check on you later." Sometimes I see a show I like, and I think maybe next week, this same time, I'll watch it again. Then I forget all about it. The people on TV never seem to hear MY comments; I hate that they act like I'm not there! One thing I hate: when you're watching a DVD with someone, and you leave the room, and that person pauses the DVD so when you come back, the show hasn't advanced one bit. Okay, I have to admit: I used to blame TV for ruining my family, but it was really my parents hiding behind TV.
