About Me

all of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision
(amanda palmer)

Two loves I have of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,
The worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.
To win me soon to hell, my female evil
Tempteth my better angel from my side,
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil,
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
And whether that my angel be turn'd fiend,
Suspect I may, yet not directly tell;
But being both from me, both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell:
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
(w. shakespeare- sonnet 144)

My Interests

grammar.
and saving the world.

I'd like to meet:

prince charming's illegitimate half-brother. i don't want a fairy tale life, but i wouldn't mind an epic/romance novel/comic book hybrid.
(printed on recycled paper, of course.)

oh, and adoption is the only option. as i say: "anyone can have a baby, it takes a real parent to adopt."

Music:

best as old records played on a phonograph-- the hissing and popping of the needle on the worn vinyl positively enhances the experience. it's simply delicious.

Movies:

i used to use them as sleep aids but they have come to take the place of my dreams. at least they're lucid (when i hold the remote).

Television:

teacher. mother. secret lover.

Books:

the best resources on a freezing winter's day. you can read them for companionship (or burn them for warmth).

Heroes:

milla jovovich
e.e. cummings
maurice sendak
michael bluth
howard hughes
jhonen vasquez
penguins
bill murray
john jameson and son
george a. romero
and everyone in this video (bowie with arcade fire makes me wet!!)::
