our bruises are coming but we will never fold.

About Me

Fleeting.

About You:


My Interests

Behavioral Neuroscience. NOT joking. I am fascinated with the complexities of the human mind.

And, of course, klnd♥.

I'd like to meet:

Well I like to laugh a lot and I like people that can make me laugh a lot.

But on a serious note, flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) and Larry David, preferably at the same time.

I'd like to un-meet some people, too, if that's possible. Particularly, umm, 99.9% of the people that I've dated?

Who I'd NOT like to meet:
Stalkers: I wish I was joking but, no, I'm not. If you are inquiring about my life, at least ask me first and I'llsave you both the time and the effort of digging through years of personal files.
Pedophiles: I would love to see myself on National Television, at least for a few minutes, so if you'd like to "meetup" PLEASE send me your contact information and I'll be sure to forward it to "How to Catch a Predator".

I should probably also mention that I have a zero tolerance policy for stupidity. If you do not believe you are capable ofsending me a somewhat reasonably intelligent email with proper grammar and punctuation, please refrain from doing so at all.I guarantee my response will make you feel about this big. Try me.

DISCLAIMER:
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PART
BEFORE CLICKING "ADD TO FRIENDS".

If I do not know you off of this site
DO NOT ADD ME.

You will be DE-NI-ED and get a very nasty email in return.

Music:

Low-fi, Indie Rock, Folk.

Movies:

Foreign and independent. Memoirs and documentaries. Anything that you have to watch thirty-five times to finally understand. Anything that leaves me thinking for days on end. David Lynch. Mostly everything with Audrey Tautou. Garden State. Eternal Sunshine. I Heart Huckabees. L'age D'Or and Le Charme Discret De La Bourgeoisie. Closer. Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Requiem for a Dream. 21 Grams (I am in love with Naomi Watts). Hotel Rwanda. Motorcycle Diaries. Der Untergang. Magnolia.

NOT Napoleon Dynamite and NOT Donnie Darko. If you are an advocate for either of these movies you should probably de-friend me immediately.

Oh! And NOT The Notebook. You couldn't tie me down and force me to sit through three minutes of that movie. LAME.

Television:

House, The Office (British and American), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (makes me want to wet my pants), Curb Your Enthusiasm (makes me want to convert to Judaism), 24, The Sopranos, Stewart/Colbert.

Books:

She's young, she said,
but look at me,
I have pretty ankles,
and look at my wrists, I have pretty
wrists

o my god,
I thought it was all working,
and now it's her again,
every time she phones you go crazy,
you told me it was over
you told me it was finished,
listen, I've loved long enough to become a
good woman,
why do you need a bad woman?
You need to be tortured, don't you?
You think life is rotten if somebody treats you rotten it all fits,
doesn't it?
Tell me, is that it? Do you want to be treated like a piece of shit?
And my son, my son was going to meet you.
I told my son
and I dropped all my lovers.
I stood up in a cafe and screamed
I'M IN LOVE,
and now you've made a fool of me ...
I'm sorry, I said, I'm really sorry.
Hold me, she said, will you please hold me?
I've never been in one of these things before, I said, these triangles ...
She got up and lit a cigarette, she was trembling all over. She paced up and down, wild and crazy. She had a small body. Her arms were thin, very thin, and when she screamed and started beating me I held her wrists and then I got it through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and sick. All the things I had learned had been wasted. There was no living creature as foul as I and all my poems were false.
Current read: The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Kundera.

Heroes:

My father.
ACJ | Requiescat In Pace:
(nature d'où tout sort, nature où tout retombe)

"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

And Dr. Cecile Goodrich: smartest woman in the world.

our first chrismukkah: the tomatoes and a non-jewish jew learn to appreciate all cultures.

Too many ex's, not enough drinks later. Me and the nice one. That's my "I'm drunk so I must be exceptionally good looking right now" face. Clearly it bears a striking similarity to my "I look like a h...
