My Interests

Don Hertzfeldt. Zombies, pirates, robots, cats and cat-related humour (oh, how I love a good cat cartoon), music, movies, ponies, good times, games (board, drinking, mind), the quest for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, being a procrastinating hedonist with no priorities. Good friends, good food, good wine. People willing to do something spontaneous and fun. Being open-minded. The environment. Learning not to sweat the small stuff, and learning that maybe most of it really is small stuff.And when I'm nervous, if there's paper, I make tiny origami stars and leave them scattered everywhere. Sorry.

I'd like to meet:



Creative people with that balance of optimism and cynicism. I tend to like folks who are creatively foul-mouthed, with good souls and an affinity for good times. People who recognize that most of us don't know shit but it's fun to theorize and talk a lot of said shit.Anyone who can make me laugh until I can't breathe. People without a judgmental mean streak. People who can leave me speechless. People who want to beat me at pool or break into a pool at night to swim.People who are honest, and good to each other, and fiercely loyal. "And why does he hang out with those retarded gorillas, as you called them? Because any one of them, if he asked them to, would take a fucking bat to your head, okay?"Plus if you have a cat or a dog, that'd be good...I love animals. Or a ferret. Those things are like awesome fuzzy snakes.

Music:

(sleater-kinney, Billy Bragg, the Dwarves, Bob Dylan, the Weakerthans, of montreal, the Dead Kennedys, American Analog Set, Joseph Arthur, Bad Religion, Belle & Sebastian, Efterklang, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, au revoir simone, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, CCR, the Delgados, Kimya Dawson (with or without the Moldy Peaches), Nomeansno, Queen, Tom Petty, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Portishead, Stars, Funeral Oration, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, the Descendents, B'ehl, Mazzy Star, the Dropkick Murphys, Van Morrison, the Clash, the Cult, the Cure, Weeping Tile, Andrew W.K., the Specials, the Slackers, the Planet Smashers, Buck-O-Nine, Ani DiFranco, Architecture in Helsinki, Bettie Serveert, Led Zeppelin, the Dandy Warhols, the Smiths, Tom Vek, the Vandals, Propagandhi, Queens of the Stone Age, Billie Holiday, Elliot Smith, Hank Williams (Senior), Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, the Postal Service, Cocorosie, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Sage Francis & the Non-Prophets, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Cab for Cutie, Discount, Tilt, the Bonaduces, Edith Piaf, Throwing Muses, Operation Ivy, Subtle, the Distillers, Metric, Black Sabbath, the Amps, the Pixies, the Breeders, anything Kim Deal has ever touched. Plus five million more.)

Movies:

Culture!(Okay, I like some besides gay porn. A smattering: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Evil Dead trilogy [really any zombie movies except that weird one Kyle & I watched where he wasn't even a zombie, he was just like..a cannibal, and all guilt-ridden about it...it was bad], the Princess Bride, Blade Runner, Amelie, Dead Alive, Shakes the Clown [why has nobody seen/heard of this movie? Bobcat Goldthwaite as an alcoholic, mime-beating clown!], Tampopo, Y Tu Mama Tambien, the Big Lebowski, Secretary, Wallace & Gromit [the shorts were best, but Curse of the Were-Rabbit was good too], Clerks, Grosse Pointe Blank, Network, Romper Stomper, Ravenous, the Breakfast Club, Basquiat, A Clockwork Orange, Frankenhooker, Bladerunner, Tampopo, Reanimator, GhostWorld, Falling Down, Ma Vie En Rose, Harold & Maude.

Television:

Six Feet Under, the Office (preferably the British but both are good), Queer as Folk (same), Kids in the Hall, the Wire, the L Word (I like the gays, all right?), Family Guy, Carnivale, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Old re-runs of Taxi, My So-Called Life, Arrested Development. And nature shows. For some reason, I love nature shows (especially the ones with hushed British voice-overs).

Books:

Currently reading:But I love all of them, even the bad ones. Seriously, I couldn't begin to even touch on this...I read like 3 books a week.Maybe authors...Neil Gaiman, Rohinton Mistry, Ian McEwen, Nick Hornby, Chuck Palahniuk, Evelyn Lau, Banana Yoshimoto, Edward Gorey, Haruki Murakami, Dorothy Gilman, Milan Kundera, Tom Robbins, Douglas Coupland, David Sedaris, Roald Dahl, Salman Rushdie...seriously, this is going to take forever, let's stop there. Oh, and comics, including Archie. Cool is for losers!

Heroes:

anyone who actively seeks to make people happier, to make people feel better and be safer, to make the world a better place, even through small and seemingly imperceptible kindnesses. Don't be a douche, kids. It's the easy way out. xox.
