such a strange flower...

About Me

I've been told I can sometimes have a stronger personality than some are used to...but it's mainly because I'm pretty honest. I'm generally a nice person until you give me a reason not to be, though. I spend way too much time on computers (at work and home), so whenever I can I like to get out as much as I can...whether that means kicking back somewhere or hitting the town and going to bars, clubs, museums, shows, conventions, restaurants, theaters, the movies, and things of that sort. You'll find I'm geeky for many many things...

My Interests


books, music, cartoons, comedy, a nice tasty cosmo, writing, art, museums, crafts, movies, theater, live music, threadless , laughing, cooking, baking, dancing, cool and breezy days, people watching, gridskipper , using "..." everywhere, tea, dark chocolate, rainy days, movie nights, being geeky, photography, being goofy, sarcasm, random movie trivia/quotes, and randomness in general

It's that time again!

I was getting a straw for my drink at a shop earlier today, and on the shelf there was a coffee mug with a quote on it that I felt the need to write down.  (Thank goodness for smart phones):"For ...

If you want to see a twisted movie, watch He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (À la folie... pas du tout).  Damnnnn...Audrey Tautou takes a giant leap from Amélie in that one. She looks so sweet on the...
