A Day in the Life of a Gremlin

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Circle abstract

I alway hate filling out shit like this. I am Heather. I am a sock who has lost its mate in a terrible vaccum cleaner accident. I am the girl who will forever be too old or not old enough, I am the girl who is too girlie, or not quite girlie enough. I am the girl who is too smart for her own good, or not as smart to be considered good enough. I am the girl who is way too frickin' goofey, or is serious to a fault. I am an a adult/pre-pubescent woman-child (to be reduntant), and I expect nothing but dream of everything. I live more in my head than I do in reality.

My Interests

I love photography, reading, writing, art museums and galleries, traveling, making my own clothes and other garments (to protect the general population from my horrible bo-. . .Ok, Elley, I'll shut up.) Riding with all the windows down on the highway is always fun (Arf!) and I research cures for cancer and work on neuclear physics in my free time.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends and maybe some new ones. Funny people. Nice people. Nice and funny people.

Music:

I love many many different music styles. I hate picking one genre over another, but I know the major music connoisseurs will demand to know specifically who and what I listen to. All I can say is that I exhibit tendencies toward indie rock and 80's music of the worst kind. Other than that, I'm horrible about remembering artist names, as I prefer to experience the music as a feeling rather than memorize the lesser details of the song. (I know, I know, just deal with it.)

Movies:

I love: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dirty Filthy Love, Princess Bride, Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring, Sliding Doors, Waking Life, I Heart Huckabees, Stealing Beauty, Coffee and Cigarettes, 13 Conversations About One Thing, Pan's Labyrinth, Volver and Young Frankenstein. (And counting. . .Whew!)

Television:

None for me, thanks. I'm full of American propaganda and visual junk food for the moment. (But curses, late night re-runs of Malcom in the Middle are my guilty pleasure.)

Books:

Amy Bloom "Come to Me" and "Love Invents Us", Dave Eggers "How We are Hungry", Arundhati Roy "God of Small Things", Susan Minot "Lust and Other Stories", Jim Crace "The Devil's Larder", Dan Rhodes "Dont Tell me the Truth About Love" (only selected stories), and anything by Margret Atwood.

Heroes:

I've found some amazing people in the world, but I'm afraid that our planet is running severely short on heroes these days.

Another Day at Work. . .

Urp!

My life is like a plant, I simply wait for the seasons to change me.

Death to Dumb People

I swear to you, every time I have to explain the function of an "on/off " button, I die a little inside.    (For the most part, I'm a member of the living dead.)

It’s So Hard Being Human

Would life be better as a dog or a cat?  Or maybe to lend a little perspective, would it be better as a cow, pig or some other type of farm animal?  I'm so fucking tired.  I'm tired of ...

Flying In a Tin Can

D.C., prepare yourself.  I'm on my way.  Good or bad, I'm on my way.

I Don't Own Me

Maybe what's hard for us to come to terms with is the fact that we pretend that we are in control of our lives and that we make our own destiny, but in reality we never really own our time.  Mayb...

Walking Meat Sticks

For those of you who believe in an afterlife, when the mind starts to degenerate and dimensia sets in, where do you go?  I suppose the question might be of where does the soul reside?  (Not ...

I'll Cry If I Want To

So I cried three times at work today.  Twice I was able to make it to the bathroom before anyone saw me, and the third time I started tearing up at the counter, but I think I was able to play it ...

New Cage, Same Hamster Wheel.

Well, fuck.  Yes, yes, I wasn't expecting my new job to be any different from my old job, and in fact it isn't.  However, I am getting paid more, which is the main reason I went searching fo...

Breasts and Bridesmaids

So let me just say that I love my cousin and I'm very excited to participate in a wedding for the first time without being in a dark adolescent rage.  Being that this is also the first wedding wh...
