About Me

my indian princess name is orca.

My Interests

contradictions, the challenge of discomfort and the perfection of discordance. teachers who can't spell, being awake when everyone else is sleeping, a certain quick-footed tortoise, mistaking a man for a woman and checking him out, horses who buck professionals off and let 6-year olds ride them, bare feet in the snow, drug addicts who study advanced mathematics, finding a prized possession in someone else's garbage pile, religious righters who get abortions

I'd like to meet:

fun adventurers, road trippers, drivers who share the road with bicyclists, bicyclists who cut of SUV's, impromptu 2am diner goers, story tellers, catch in the park players, dressagers, coffee shop studiers, beer drinkers, people watchers, hot queers

Music:

where do i start...KEXP.org, bright eyes, rilo kiley, the mountain goats, white stripes, buena vista social club, catie curtis, nappy roots, ani, paul simon, stars, arcade fire, ben gibbard (dcfc, postal service), bloc party, josh ritter, the cure, kings of leon, metric, the blue scholars, the arctic monkeys, damian marley, dar williams, the decemberists, the elected, jorge drexler, old pearl jam/nirvana, wolf parade, the shins, sufjan stevens, tegan and sara, yeah yeah yeahs

Movies:

the three amigos, christopher guest stuff, the newsies, but i'm a cheerleader, pirates of the caribbean (after a hard exam), national velvet, eddie izzard's dress to kill, top gun

Television:

laguna beach, hey dude, six feet under, queer as folk, and whatever show everyone gathers weekly at our apartment to watch (depending on the season: top chef, america's next top model, project runway)

Books:

Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (ultimate favorite), Fountainhead, Little Black the Pony, anything by Tom Robbins, The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, bad lesbian erotica, I love love love Dave Eggers and I generally trust McSweeneys' recommendations. also, re-reading any book I loved as a kid

Heroes:
