About Me

i am (not) a (snake) charmer.
i'm a wordsmith. always got something to say, usually just the right words, too. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy being put in an "aggressively inarticulate" state, of course.
acute workaholic.
information broker.
post-modernist.
post-structuralist.
post-gay.
i love gender theory.
i'm quite good at mimicking strata.
i really like when actors pause and look into the camera (e.g. jim on The Office). i really don't like the 4th wall. really.
i also really like songs with a 4/4 beat. if you don't, i'm not sure what's wrong with you. maybe your mom didn't show you enough affection when you were little.
i'm cancelling the apocalypse.
people who think that the beatles are better than the rolling stones are a lot like people who believe in creationism over evolution: you can believe whatever you like, but eventually science will win over fantasy.
