New England Wisdom: Optimism is like a slippery floor. Sure, it's shiny but you're going to fall on your ass...wicked hard. (that is James being brilliant and sober)i like things like Miranda July, music, books, magazines, movies that are in some way disturbing, sushi, red bull, coffee, cigarettes, and attractive people.I also like to eat sandwiches, particularly tuna melts with goat cheese. I live for goat cheese. I also enjoy proscuitto, but to a lesser extent.
Someone who will treat me badly and make me feel like shit about myself, preferrably someone who won't call me the next day. Already having a boyfriend is a big plus. If you fit this description, what are you doing later?
