an ambitious plan to bring attention to myself...

About Me

I am the one and only Wishful Goddess. I hate almost everything and everybody (this most likely includes you and everything you stand for). I am the Jolt Cola of evil. My presence can only mean pain. I cannot seem to get the hang of this thing they call "sleep". I am the reincarnation of Jim Morrison. My blood is liquid insanity. I sit here on my shelf and collect dust. I am small and I do not take up much space. I am emo, but I am on medication for it. I am immune to gravity. Sometimes I am dead.

A quick shot of Amanda bumping into me at the Dresden Dolls show:


Barack and roll

Copperpot= aural pleasure

Don't dream it...be it...

Music is great:

My Interests

I sold my soul to rock and roll. I love music. I like to sing. I may or may not suck at it. I like to play guitar. I definitely suck at it. I believe that all music has value and importance, even if it isn't something that I would choose to rock out to. I have my likes and dislikes, but it's all good. I love gymnastics. I haven't been in a gym since I was 19 and I ache to get back on a balance beam. Elite gymnastics is only a shell of what it once was, but I still spend more time than can possibly be healthy watching it and talking about it on GGMB. I read a lot. It's a great escape. I am pierced. I am tattooed. I am not as pierced as I used to be and I am not as tattooed as I'd like to be. Some other things I dig: cats, chocolate, puzzles, alcohol, writing, thrift stores, Scrabble, being outside, mix tapes and mix cds, Fantasmo Cult Cinema Explosion, stickers, YARN, BITCHFACE, Hello Kitty, old school Lisa Frank, coloring (no, seriously), roller coasters, gum, paranormal phenomena, urban (and not so urban) exploration, and photography. Things that suck: clean shoes, skirt girls, Harry Potter, pretentiousness, homophobia, Bruno Grandi, Tom Cruise, scientology, people who can't spell or use proper grammar, people who talk on their cell phones whilst driving, parents who let their crotchfruit act like little brats in public, and alla the fucktards who sign up to have a profile on a social networking site and then proceed to set it as "private". I hate people. Vote Dukakis. ..

I'd like to meet:

I wanna meet anybody and everybody from GGMB. Jesus, the sluts on that board. Gloria Estefan, because when I was a kid I wanted to be her. Kurt Cobain. We all know this. Moving along... the beautiful and amazing actor and musician Michael Pitt. Tegan and Sara Quin. They are awesome and I'm head over heels in love with Tegan. A man I have kissed but never met, Julian Casablancas. My twin sister Ekaterina Lobaznyuk, even though she doesn't really look like me anymore. My favorite A-Rod, Andy Roddick. Greekboy. If you know, you know. Kurt Vonnegut (Kurt is up in heaven now). Joss Whedon. It would be like meeting God. The Mythbusters. The Ghost Hunters. I'd like to meet and destroy some people, too. Bruno Grandi, FIG president, the man to blame for the EVILLE APOKOLYPSE KODE! Tom Cruise when I haven't taken Prozac in a week. I'm not sure he understands what REALLY happens when you take the drugs away from a crazy person. 07/23/05- I met my gymnastics idol, Dominique Moceanu! 08/02/07- I met the man who will save the world, Ben Jelen!

Ice skating is a sin! You will go to Hell if you ice skate! Fear Jesus!

Ryan and I went ice skating at Macarthur last night. Big fun. There was this hilarious guy there who kept stumbling and running into the walls and he said what is probably the best quote I've heard in...

Hot tramp, I love you so.

Ten bees in a jam jar and they can't get free.

The movie of my life would be an artsy indie flick and this would be the soundtrack. Most scenes have more than one song listed because I can't decide what kind of mood I want to set. I was gonna narr...

If God wanted us sober, he'd knock the glass over (so while it is full we drink up!)

These pictures should speak for themselves. Cervesa fiesta at my casa with my favorite amigos y familia. Probably big pictures. I didn't bother to resize them. Deal with it. Scrabble? Sexually? Twice!...
