About Me

Baby, I'm an anarchist.

I heart music, books (and reading them, of course), family, friends, and you.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
- William Shakespeare, Sonnet CXXX

Music:

♥

"Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Queen
The Living End
My Chemical Romance
Green Day
The Clash
The Dresden Dolls
The Beatles
Placebo
David Bowie

Also, I heart wizard rock. Musical music rocks my socks. J-Pop and Bollywood music are the shiznit. I also love piano sonatas and cello solos. I like it when a song can give me chills.

Movies:

"Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures." - Jessamyn West
I'm really into Asian horror movies right now (mostly Japanese and Korean) but I love all kinds of movies. Usually I have quite nerdy AWESOME tastes, so I watch a lot of sci-fi/fantasy stuff; Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter (the books are better, though...), or anything like that, really. I don't like most romantic comedies. Waste of my time and money. I adore (animated) Disney movies. Anything Monty Python; Rocky Horror Picture Show, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Big Fish, Shaun Of The Dead, Velvet Goldmine, Howl's Moving Castle, Evil Dead 1 & 2, Army Of Darkness, Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Labyrinth, Cry-Baby, Bend It Like Beckham, Bollywood!, most musicals, Sin City, 300, V For Vendetta, Amelie, Spirited Away, anything that's just downright strange, Beatles movies, anything with Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Depp, or that is directed by Tim Burton. I love all Tim Burton/Johnny Depp/Danny Elfman collaborations.

Television:

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." - Groucho Marx

Dexter, Doctor Who, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Rome, Nip/Tuck, Psych, travel shows, Good Eats, Ace Of Cakes, various anime, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Dave The Barbarian, old school Saturday morning cartoons (X-Men, Captain Planet, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc.), the History Channel, old school Disney Channel, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Colbert Report, Ab Fab.
