About Me

i like long walks and sci-fi movies
you're six foot tall and east coast bred

ever since i was a kid
i've been a brooding basket case

there was a boy
a very strange, enchanted boy
they say he wandered very far, very far
over land and sea.
and then one day
one magic day he passed my way
and while we talked of many thing
of fools (of shoes of ships of sealing wax
of cabbages) and kings
(of why the sea is boiling hot
and whether pigs have wings)
this he said to me
the greatest thing you'll ever know
is just to love
and be loved in return

My Interests

not seattle, obscure sodas in real glass bottles, iceland, resonance, hemiolas, windows in interior walls (windows as interior walls), objects composed of negtive space, paint on clothing, theremins, "little guys" (that is, pets smaller than a bread box), tawny, derives, sweaters + scarves, the opera - replete with formal attire and spending gratutiously for dinner, concert halls with boxes, enjoying what is served up before me daily.

I'd like to meet:

one who is precious amongst all the millions of stars, which is enough to make a man happy when he looks up at the stars.

rich she shal be thats certain, wise, or ile none, vertuous, or ile neuer cheapen her: faire, or ile neuer looKe on her, mild, or come not neare me, noble, or not i for an angell, of good discourse, an excellent musitian, and her haire shall be of whatever colour it please God

no more self-promoting bands, please. no, i will not pad your self-righteousness as defined by the number of your "friends" on myspace.
