19th century American literature, 80's American hardcore punk, the San Antonio fuckin' Spurs, back-handed compliments, surf rock instrumentals, nonstop sex talk, getting into sticky situations, passionate discussions about books or basketball, vegan energy bars, ginger ale, tall dudes with both glasses and neck tattoos, celebrity gossip, spending hours gaming, reading without disruption, cruising unsuspecting dudes, watching trashy TV on demand, Mexican Catholic kitsch, robot toys, having a filthy mouth, snarky attitudes, snotty vocals, discriminating against lesser coffees, drunken sing-a-longs, trivia!
I take time out of nearly each day to work on upwards of four crossword puzzles because I'm a fucking nerd with no friends.
I'd like to meet:
It's easier to think of types of people I wouldn't want to meet, though I'd make a total exception for fellow sweater-punks, word nerds, degenerates, and brash trash talkers. Oh, and dudes who simply adore "Somebody Like Me" by the Ramones from their 1983 album Subterranean Jungle.
For the record, don't bother adding me if you've got your friends list numbering in the hundreds. I'm not into friend-collecting, so neither should you. Send a message instead or something to that effect. Chances are I'll read it, but don't expect a response. I'm kinda bad at that.
Top 8's seem to be a simple popularity contest. I'm not that much of a dick to buy into it. Except when it comes to the DC Animated Universe's Justice League Unlimited. Green Arrow totally deserves a spot, right?
Music:
Okay.
My favorite band is the Descendents, followed by Screeching Weasel, the Ramones, the Queers, and the Beatles, in that order. I also enjoy listening to Minor Threat, the Zero Boys, Motorhead, the Riverdales, Thin Lizzy, Angry Samoans, New Order, the Jam, the Boys, Devo, Hall & Oates, Teenage Bottlerocket, the Exploding Hearts, Judas Priest, the Marked Men, Aus Rotten, Youth Brigade, the Pretenders, the Buzzcocks, the King Khan and BBQ Show, Lifter Puller, the Adolescents, Rocket from the Crypt, the Undertones, the Vibrators, 999, the Dwarves, the Pointed Sticks, the Barracudas, the Cure, the Smiths, the Clash, the Faint, N.W.A., Zeke, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, F.M. Knives, Blitz, Quincy Punx, the Epoxies, the Explosion, Iron Maiden, Willie Nelson, Otis Redding, Al Green, Johnny Cash, Dean Martin, Marty Robbins, and others.
In short: trashy powerpop and late 70's to mid-80's punk and hardcore with some synth-punk and mid-to-late 90's buzz-pop thrown in. My guilty pleasure is electroclash.
Movies:
I watch Beetlejuice, Blazing Saddles, and the Big Lebowski a lot. Also, Garden State wasn't that great, dudes.
Television:
Veronica fuckin' Mars. Oh, and Arrested Development.
I like video games. Like, a lot. I'm currently having my life eaten away by Oblivion for PS3 (level 46!). Man, that game rules. I've recently completed Grand Theft Auto IV; that shit was too short. Or, at least, it seemed like it. I'm patiently waiting for the releases of God of War 3 and Resident Evil 5. The Ocarina of Time is my top all-time title, but I will avidly play nearly any Legend of Zelda game, mostly because it's my favorite franchise.
