it's the beer that's smilin', it ain't me.

About Me

i hate when people wear socks with sandals. i have a degree in philosophy/religious studies. i drink a lot of coffee. i don't remember dreams, i'm convinced i don't have them, but i remember my nightmares vividly. i can't stand when people ask questions in the negative. i love riding trains. i have no blood related uncles. i hate the phrase 'burger buns'. i can sing moondance by van morrison without any help from anybody, and do every morning in the shower. i watch movies a lot. i tend to make pop culture references that no one gets. i hate the word colonel. i don't like the phrase 'a whole nother'...who decided you could just stick the word 'whole' right in the middle of the word 'another' anyway? i have an awful sense of direction. in my next life i'd like to be maggie gyllenhal. i'm moving to portland, oregon in march, 2008. i make wire and bead trees.
