About Me

I still believe in marriage.
I joined the United States Air Force. (Ironically, so I could leave the country.)
I love people.
I hate being alone.
I'm really good at not letting things sink in. Be it a blessing or curse, I'm not sure.
I cannot stand screamo music, looking for things, horror movies, or commercials.
I want lots of babies.
Brand New and Modest Mouse influence my thinking.
I value forgiveness above anything else.
I'm a sinner.
I still believe in God.

My Interests

History, Languages, Religion, Art, Poetry (in that music), and Geology. For starters.

I'd like to meet:

A good influence.

Music:

Brand New
Modest Mouse & Ugly Casanova
The Beatles
The White Stripes & The Recontours
Portugal. The man.
Lilly Allen (the whole Brittish scene, really)
I just don't like loud, unmelodic music, nor country music.

Movies:

Now and Then
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Pulp Fiction
Juno
Across the Universe
Once
Waking Life
Requiem for a Dream
Igby goes down
The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys
State's Evidence
(Troy and other mythological movies)
Anything that's not all about sex and gore will probably please me.

Television:

I don't have a TV, but I was a sucker for Friends.

Books:

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Harry Potter
The Picture of Dorian Grey was the most boring book in the world. I cannot believe Oscar Wilde had to go into exile over that.

Heroes:

My mom. Seriously.

My Blog
