About Me

If I were in a brief paragraph, I'd be surrounded by words like surreal, zoom, and flump. I'd most certainly be grammatically correct unless I was in one of those Moods. and then you'd know. or some junk.

I'm often silly and always reading something, probably 2 or 3 somethings at once. I very likely have a crush on you and you don't even know it. I love to have crushes on beautiful boys, sing out loud and play on swings. These things make me a happy girl most of the time. I am writing several novels in my head and one day I will force them out of there and into the world and dammit, they will shake the very foundation of your being. or they'll make you laugh. one of those things. I like the colour orange, canadians and swings probably more than you do. I have a healthy fear and respect for apostrophes and I know way more about the web than you probably think.

Most nights you'll find me curled up on the couch with a movie or 3. It's what I do. Sometimes I even like company when I do that. Every Tuesday I am busy, so don't even ask, unless you like dancing your butt off to the 80s and in that case, do. If you send me a creepily detailed account of your personal life history or a skeezy sexual innuendo I will never reply, so why don't you not, k? Points will be awarded for proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. No, I am not kidding. AOL speak makes me break out in hives.

I know my profile song has certain AOL speak in it, but I was the inspiration for the song, so that's ok ;)

Most of the stuff you wanna know about my personality can only be explained by the penguins. You understand.

My Interests

noises, singing to myself, rain, trees, dancing all the live-long night, twirling, swings, sexy tattoos, fire, amusing comics about killing all the people... jhonen vasquez, my friends, tripping over my shoes, I'm covered in bees! Eddie Izzard!! I want to marry xkcd .

livejournal: gothbitch

I'd like to meet:

Jack White. Perhaps I am asking too much . Bill Murray? Definitely John Cusack, and Joan. David and Amy Sedaris' parents...seriously, I am a huge dork and I like huge dorks a lot. If you're a huge dork who I happen to be attracted to, I probably wanna hang out with you. :p

Currently deeply enmeshed in a White Stripes obsession. Digging on M. Ward just now. I like the weird, the odd, the classic and the sexy, if I can dance to it, it's a double thumbs up, if I can sing AND dance to it consider it heart-shaped.

I always have at least 3 songs vying for "in-my-head" status. I don't actually know what silence sounds like.

p.s. Mirrormask was Made for Mandas. It is like the crack to me.

also: simpsons, south park, queer as folk, buffy, firefly, coupling, carnivale, oz, six feet under, sex and the city, black adder, young ones, abfab, greg the bunny, invader zim, freaks and geeks, my so called life, those cool cancelled ones. I only watch tv on dvd, does that make me cooler? heh.
