Things that I love: my super fabulous friends-Louis the world's fattest cat-my Mom-Your Mom-Hello Kitty-my mint green Vespa-my pretty tattoos-other people's pretty tattoos-old exotic and burlesque hall records-pirates-owning too many pairs of underwear-Volunteering in New Orleans-beer snobbery-Mark Ryden-attempting to watch every film available on Netflix-Ikea-ice cream-collecting Catholic iconic art (especially of the Virgin de Guadalupe)-reading-talking about prison reform and eventually getting a hot career doing so-hot dogs from hot dog stands-living in Boston-dance parties that involve eighties music, fuck it I love dancing to anything-being a third wave feminist-RIOTGRRL-the Red Sox and sleeping past 4am. Some things that I don't love: people who touch me while asking me stupid questions about my tattoos-George "I'm a fucking idiot" Bush-cantaloupe-people who don't tip-people who lack T etiquette- Republicans-liars-and boys who break hearts.
People who have been on "Cops". Someone with season tickets to Sox games who wants to sit next to the most fabulous Sox fan ever. And Wentworth Miller so we can set up a child-support schedule.

My favorite movie ever is Amelie, I've even learned french in case the subtitle button ever breaks. I have Netflix, so my list of movies I like has become quite large and continues to grow weekly. Some of my all time favorites include The Shining-The Royal Tenenbaums-A Life Aquatic- Quadrophenia-Dawn of the Dead-The Breakfast Club-Quentin Tarantino's films (yes I'm related, look at my last name)-Michael Moore's genius documentaries-all of the Disney Classics-The Pirates of the Carribean-the Harry Potter series- The City of Lost Children-The Nightmare Before Christmas-Battle For Endor- Cry Baby-O Brother Where Art Thou-Lost in Translation-Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-Closer-One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest-Napolean Dynamite-The Godfather Trilogy-Walk the Line-An Inconvenient Truth-Clerks-Zodiac-When the Levees Broke.
I can't own cable or I won't leave the house and the only things actually worth watching are Red Sox Games, The Simpsons and Family Guy, the rest just serves as an excuse for me to not get anything productive done. I try to watch Prison Break, not for the exciting plot lines or any of that, just because Wentworth Miller is my future ex-husband. I own the complete series of Sex and the City, so that is the only purpose my tv serves these days.
I'm all about catching up on all the reading I couldn't do while in grad school. Right now I am reading a lot about New Orleans and trying to learn everything I can about the pre and post Katrina periods. I'm also reading a lot about baseball, especially Red Sox history. A few of my favorite books from times past are Harry Potter-Zodiac-Zodiac Unmasked-Stranger Beside Me-Devils Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three-Cunt-The Vagina Monologues-and other things that make the people across from me on the subway uncomfortable. I will read anything written by Ernest Hemingway-Sylvia Plath-Gloria Steinem-William Shakespeare-Anne Rule-Edward Gorey-David Sedaris-Gabriel Garcia Marquez-or Edgar Allen Poe. I am also incredibly addicted to US Weekly and thank God I finally got a subscription because I used to get a little homicidal in search for the newest issue. Seriously, it's a pretty big problem.
Revolutionaries. Martin Luther King Jr.-The Weather Underground-Michael Moore-Gloria Steinem-The West Mempis Three-the people of New Orleans-My amazing friends-and people who take action to make a difference in the world. Be the change!
