About Me


I'm usually lost in my own little world, so talk to me and drag me back out into reality. I'm an unabashed nerd. I'm slowly sinking into premature "crazy cat lady" status, god help me. I tend to be really neurotic, but I try not to let my nervous weirdness taint my personal relationships. I'm a random stuff collector. I swear I'm not really an asshole; I'm just shy. But at least up to this point, I think I've lived a pretty fine life. I have some interesting stories to tell if someone will listen. I enjoy all the ridiculous things I see around me every day and dicking about with my camera, hoping to make sense of my world, at least momentarily. I'm an expert at entertaining myself. I have a huge crush on Stephen Colbert. My mother likens me to a grumpy old Jewish man. I once sustained a sex-related injury severe enough that I was forced to sit out my senior year of marching band. Yes, I'm that cool... In spite of all this, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, turning cynic by a sick sick world. http://iliveinasoutherntown.deviantart.com
