About Me


You Are 54% Evil
You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.
Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination. How Evil Are You?Most frequently used adjective used by others to decribe me: SassyPractically a socialist but unwilling to give up my shoes for the common good.Favorite Happy Bunny quote: "Make the stupid people shut up"Outlook on Alcohol:Survey says:
What Kind of Drunk Are You?

My Interests

Hiking, Camping, Reading, Climbing Trees and Rock Formations, Dining with friends, early morning scrabble games with earl gray tea, going to the Opera, seeing plays - but not overly avant garde ones. In the winter, skiing. Travel when I can get away. Music I suppose but only in the sense of entertainment....And I guess I would be lying to myself if I didn't say dancing.

I'd like to meet:

Men that were once Eagle Scouts.People that want to take back-country hiking trips.According to astro.com I should be trying to "associate with people who have their feet on the ground to compensate for my aimless wandering temperament."

Music:

How can I begin to list it all? 80's, Industrial, Gothic, Electro-Clash, anything with a decent beat that I can dance to. Current Favorites are: Muse, Placebo, Alice DeeJay, DJ Keri, Artic Monkeys, Moby, Iris Disconnect, Armin Van Buren, my copy of the Taliban Dance Party mix cd, Goldfrapp, Apop, Erasure, VNV Nation, Duran Duran, Wolfsheim, Depeche Mode, The Postal Service, The Lovemakers, The Music....any kind of mash-up. I've put myself on a budget though so I'm not allowing myself to buy anything new :-(

Movies:

Don't really go to the movies that often...can't stand to spend the $10. Last Movie Seen: Transformers. Movie before that: Pan's Labyrinth. Move Before That: Raiders of the Lost Ark at Dolores Park for free.As for all-time favorites: Shawshank Redemption, Desperado, The Truman Show, The Indian Jones Chronicles (who doesn't list those?), Amelie, Office Space, Some Kind of Wonderful, LA Story, Garden State, Brazil, Serenity, The Princess Bride and anything with John Cusack or Johny Depp in it.

Television:

Didn't have a TV for a really long time but then picked up one for almost nothing and am somehow blessed with cable dispite never signing up for it. Yeah, I'll probably be addicted again real soon to Heroes, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, South Park, and reruns of Friends and Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Books:

Last book finished: Freakonomics and loved it. Have started several but have been too busy to finish any. Need to go on vacation and get through the stack on my nightstand: Snow, My Name is Red, The Innovators Solution....Top Picks on my all time favorite reading list: The Red Tent, Love in the Time of Cholera, Demian, Rosshalde, Narcissus & Goldmund (OK, honestly anything by Hermann Hess is amazing), The Time Traveler's Wife, Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, Mapping the Edge & Birth of Venus, both by Sarah Dunant, Where the Red Fern Grows, 1984, She's Come Undone, Jitterbug Perfume and Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins.Favorite Book of all time? Pride & Prejudice.Other Favorite Authors: Jane Austen, John Irving, Grahame Greene, A.S Byatt, Milan Kundera, Charles Dickens, Neil Gaimon. I'm pretty much open to reading anything that comes highly recommended by a friend. Not a huge fan of science fiction but then again utopia and distopia stories are always entertaining.

Heroes:

Anyone that has the courage to follow through with their dreams. People that are good with hand tools.
