I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Ben. I eat breakfast food, but it's not my favorite. I'll eat it if it's there. I love meat, mostly beef. I tried to be a vegetarian once, but i just like beef to damn much. I don't have a dog. But I have a cat, and she's kind of a bitch, and I dig her anyway. My favorite movie is Shaun of the Dead. Man I love that movie... I'm a book nerd. I can't help it. If you smell, you can still feel free to come near me. I'll probably hug you anyway. I have a job. Two actually, though I don't work one of them very often. I'll back you up in a fight if you need me, but I wont be very happy about it. I don't like you because you have "cool hair". I've been on a few airplanes in my time. My family rarely takes vacations, and they're usually pretty lame. They have, however, been known to surprise me. I come off as creepy and irritating to a lot of people... I guess I'm just energetic and eccentric. You don't have to talk to me. But please tell me to fuck off, don't just patronize me, because I probably will approach you. I like to drink socially. I have a best friend who no one is going to replace, but you can sure as hell try. By all means, spend lots of money on me. Food is good, too. Don't message me saying "you're hot, let's be friends"... well, if you really want to, you can go ahead on. yeah, go ahead. I'll talk shit about you if you give me reason to. You can crowd me if you really want, but I might leave. Please don't lie to me. Don't pressure me. Don't stare at me. Don't try to impress me. Well... only if you're actually impressive. I like aerials:) I like to sing. I just might sing for you, if you catch me at the right time. Em, that hurts. I don't smoke, but it's your choice if you do; I wont judge you for it. I'm not going to copy your style. I will wear/listen to whatever I want. I don't wear little kids shirts, but I would if I could fit in them. I don't like routine. If i feel like sharing, I will tell you. And anyone else in earshot. I've been told I'm really loud. I'm sorry. I really don't have much a personal life, but I mostly only share if I'm prompted. I will listen to you and look you in the eye and be honest. I am more likely to be your friend if you approach me, but I'll still dig you if you don't. I'm not good at starting conversations. I like making new friends. I don't care if you're in a band... unless I like you're band. Then you make pretty cool music. If you're not a prick, that's even better. I have trust issues, but more in that I trust everyone. I don't know what it is. Please return my stuff when I lend it to you, though. I like wearing shoes, but I prefer barefoot, and thus end up in sandals a lot. I'm pale. And hairy, at that. If you dislike someone, make sure there's no reason to like them. You probably don't know them very well. Message me if you want to talk. I'll be nice. Shermanator, thanks for the reference.XO, Ben

Come one, come all.

Music:

Elliott Smith, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Beatles, The Black Keys, Explosions in the Sky, and the majority of the Elephant 6 collective

City of God, Shaun of the Dead, Road House, Six String Samurai, Snatch, Harold and Maude, Sin City, Mystery Science Theater 3,000: The Movie, old kung fu movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghost World, most anything featuring a muppet, The Corpse Bride, and all things Wes Anderson.

Mystery Science Theater 3,000, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Office, School House Rock, Iron Chef.

Books:

Most all things Kurt Vonnegut. Vladimir Nabokov is fabulous. George Orwell rocks my world. Antoine De Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince is definitely a contender for best book ever written. That or The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty is absolutely fabulous. I just got out of a Chuck Palahniuk funk. Ha Jin's In the Pond is hilarious and wonderful. Check it out. I'll always have a soft spot for Stephen King. Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. And while we're on poetry, Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy and other tales gets me everytime. I don't know. I like a lot of stuff.
