I am here for Friends

About Me

I am half-Vietnamese/half-American - a war baby. Grew up all over Asia - overly educated (I have three degrees) and hugely underemployed (I work at a movie theater). When I grow up I want to be a screenwriter (or the world's tallest janitor). I'm as queer as the day is long. And like most gay people, I love rainbows and unicorns - unicorns are delicious! The only thing better than eating them, is killing them. Enuf said!

My Interests

I'm well read when it comes to pop-up books and I love pornographic puppet shows.

I'd like to meet:

Diverse people with a great sense of humor and a taste for unicorn meat.

Music:

Goth and 80's - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, New Order etc. Favorite band of all time - Blondie. New favs include Keane, Joseph Arthur and Metric.

Movies:

I love the classics - Billy Wilder and John Huston are my favorite directors. Marilyn Monroe is my favorite actress - did I mention I was gay? Latest favs include Hero, Amelie, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Monster, Tarnation, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Brokeback Mountain, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Best gay movie of all time - Parting Glances.

Television:

These shows are no longer on - Strangers With Candy and Absolutely Fabulous. But thank God The Simpsons still is! Favorite miniseries of all time - Brideshead Revisited. And I have a profound affinity for Sister Wendy.

Books:

One shouldn't ask a former English major such a question! I grew up loving John Steinbeck and Somerset Maugham and now love David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs in the same way. Fav book of all time: Alice in Wonderland. Not to sound like a cliche, but I love me some Shakespeare. And Anton Chekhov - I first master's thesis was about one of his plays.I only got my MFA in Dramaturgy so I wouldn't feel like such a diletante. .

Heroes:

My parents - no duh! Well, it's either them or Satan and Hitler - it's a toss up.
