I am here for Friends

About Me

I love horror movies, reading, writing, and listening to and playing music. I'm not entirely sure how I will parlay all that into one career, but if you can't do something you love why do anything else? I guess that won't matter when WWZ comes... and it IS coming.

My Interests

Reading, writing, horror movies, roleplaying (D&D/Vampire, you sickos!)and playing music. I'm currently in four bands. I know, I'm a glutton for punishment:)
The indie sweethearts of NoVa Paper Doll (I'm the drummer), The funk/punk/soul stylings of The Bible (I do vocals), The hard rock sound of Rogue Saint (I'm the bassist), The acoustic/rock/awesomeness of Polly Perfect (I play guitar and sing). I've been a busy badger. Check out our myspace pages and become a friend. I like making friends!

I'd like to meet:

I think my life would be complete if I met Stephen King. Or a zombie. Then I'd kill it with my crowbar.

Music:

I'm kind of into anything but right now I am listening to Sleater Kinney, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Antigone Rising, Skyline Awake, Jimmy Eat World, Del Cielo, Pat Paul, Trocadero, Sematic, Gin Blossoms, Radiohead, The Dresden Dolls, The Bogmen, Fall Out Boy, Queens of the Stone Age, Elastica, Le Tigre, Girlyman, Cake, Aimee Mann, Muse, Chris Trapper, The Push Stars, Juliette and The Licks, Cold War Kids, Ivy, Admiral Browning, and Durga Temple. I'm into the local stuff and I need to get out to more shows. Also, check out the DURGA TEMPLE VIDEO below. You will thank me later.
