About Me

I have edited my layout at Crazyprofile.com'If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity ; and I would climb to the top of Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history as a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who.' - Cat's Cradle'Those are happiest whose needs are simplest.' -Thoreau'I would rather be happy than right.' -Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'Return to me, and I will return to you,' -Malachi 3:7

Music:

Paul Oakenfold (almost all Techno/House out there), God Lives Under Water, Gomez, Nine Inch Nails, Mindless Self Indulgence, Depeche Mode (and most 80's music), Lovin' Spoonfull, Ben Fold's Five, Pantera, America, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Chicago, Brendon Small, I played viola for 5 years so I enjoy all classical music (Dvorjak, Copland). One of the coolest jobs on earth (IMHO) would be to play viola in an orchestra that records movie soundtracks.

Movies:

I love horror flicks, as well as action, and comedy. I can not stand chick-flicks. Among my favorites are: Willy Wonka, The Matrix (first movie of the trilogy only), Lost in Translation, Akira, The Last Crusade, Beetlejuice, Pirates of the Caribbean, Nightmare Before Christmas (I use to have a crush on Jack), any Mel Brooks Film, Monty Python ("she turned me into a newt, I got betta"), Blood Dolls, Mars Attacks!, Clone Wars , Star Wars (all of them), Return of the Living Dead, Evil Dead, old Danny Kaye movies...

Television:

Adult Swim all the way! I had a friend living in Atlanta; I tried to get him to run around in front of the Williams Street Office Building in a chicken costume, but he told me he feared an attack of the gun variety. I know all the episodes of Home Movies, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force by heart. In the way of other cartoons: I have every episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog on DVD, I love Sponge Bob Square Pants, Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons, Bleach, Inuyasha, Neon Genesis (I have a NERV sticker on my car), Cowboy Bebop, Earth Worm Jim, The Tick, Invader Zim, Danger Mouse, as well as others. As far as live action shows: X-Files, Project Runway, Angel, Lost, Firefly, and Tales from the Crypt. I am an avid fan of BBC America. I love British comedy!

Books:

As can be seen by the quotes, I love to read. My favorite book of all time (read numerous times) is The Hobbit!! There are times that I feel I do not want to leave my cozy hobbit hole on the start of a treacherous journey, but come to find I would not be the person I am without leaving the fire-side. I also really like Jurassic Park, Sphere, Travels with Charlie, The Eyes of the Dragon, The Girl Who Love Tom Gordon, Wyrms, Cat's Cradle ("see the cat? see the cradle?"), War of the Worlds, and The infamous Harry Potter Series. Yes I am hooked. As well as the short story Benito Cereno.

Heroes:

Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Phillip J. Fry, both of my parents, all of my grandparents. My boyfriend Paul is the sweetest, most sincere, easy going person I have ever known. I just hope that I can fill him with the same loyalty, self confidence, and feeling of unconditional love that he instills in me.
