The answer is no! I mean, yes!!!

About Me

I'll try anything once... I live in Silverlake. I keep a garden on the roof which my landlord is making me take down. I like to drink, smoke, make love, and eat high fat, salty foods. I fall in love too quickly. Overall, I am really a very nice person. Honest. I love emotionally charged, racked with pain and/or ecstasy music. I like to sing even though my voice is flat. So What?I like people, especially the ones on myspace. The edgier the better. Quirky, friendly, spacy, wishy-washy, rebellious, hedonistic... I love all endeavors creative even though I am a boring accountant. I have a Harry Potter toothbrush. I went to Indonesia over Christmas. I have very strong opinions about my music, and believe that public transportation is fun. Too bad I live in LA.

My Interests

Live Music, Sculpture, Rapid Museum Tours, Foreign Languages, Dinner with Friends, Debauchery, Drunken Bocce Ball, Live Music at Sunset Junction, Chemically Altered States, Separating Interests With Commas, Getting Lost on Foreign Subways, and Bookkeeping.
