How am I supposed to let you know, I'm kinda T Rex meets The Jam?

About Me

I'm just this girl y'see. I love my cats and my dog more than anything. I'm a northern transplant but I've been in the RVA so long that I've started saying "y'all" with only just a hint of irony. I also eat grits with glee. I collect religious icons and records. Especially 45s. Currently I'm obsessed with picking up every last Stiff single. (My obsessions take years and years.) I can rock out with the best of them, but I'm most comfortable hanging out on a pile of pillows listening to the warm snaps and crackles of a spinning record. For me, shopping means rumaging through piles of junk in thrift stores and yard sales. I decorate my home like it's 1974. I dress like I'm still 22. I love kissing. I laugh loud but I mean it. I'm learning how to rollerskate again. I can beat most boys at video games, and I have a habit of singing at the top of my lungs while I'm driving. I drive a VW Bug (because I crashed the Cheap Trick mobile in a freak playing with my iPod and not paying attention accident.) I like tattoos. I have five including a full sleeve in progress. I also like my piercings but I don't think I'll be getting anymore anytime soon. I'm a bit of a hippie girl but I hide it under my dyed head of hair. I'm happy as hell by a campfire in the middle of the woods in the middle of night and can rarely think of any other place I'd prefer to be. I've surfed with jellyfish, roller-skated in my apartment naked, and danced around a bonfire with a ring of flowers in my hair. I care a ton for my friends and if I like you, you'll know it. I'm moody as hell, but because of it, relatively stable.MySpace Layouts You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor ! MySpae Layouts

My Interests

I collect cheesy jesus/religious art, pez dispensers and more records than I know what to do with. I dig comic books and reading a bunch. I'm also a big fan of the video games. (I can't wait for the new Zelda. No seriously. I'm slobbering on myself.) I'm a dork. A total dork.

I'd like to meet:

you'll know if it's you.

Guts

There's a few scenes in Stardust where the witches slice open an animal, pull out its guts and are able to tell the future by playing with the entrails. This apparently has merit in old Mesopotamia an...

100 Things

1. When I was little there was a huge boulder in the woods behind our house. My brother and I hung out there a lot when we were small and often declared war on the smaller boulders. I never actually f...

While browsing Neil Gaiman's blog yesterday, I came across a link for Charles Vess' blog. He did all the artwork for the graphic copy of Stardust, as well as a few of the Sandman issues. It's really b...
