About Me

i'm hiding, deep in the south, where you'll never find me! if i know you and you want to be my friend, but your only myspace profile is your band, please send me an email telling me who you are, because i've blocked them from requests.

My Interests

literature, pop cultural trends, marketing techniques, child psychology, clothing manufacturing processes, and astrology.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

i've been rediscovering lost music via pilfered iPod files: the Stones, the Beastie Boys, P.J. Harvey... and pickin' up random new-to-me stuff. a veritable potpourri of crap i can move to...

Movies:

My favorites are all the old standards: A Clockwork Orange, Taxi Driver, Blue Velvet, The Shining. I also love Fight Club, A Streetcar Named Desire, Quills, Donnie Darko, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Television:

i enjoy shouting answers (usually incorect) at Jeopardy! i've also been loving My Name is Earl and The Office reruns. otherwise, any show where detective/lawyer/mediums solve mysteries will do.

Books:

A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, Gone With the Wind, The Handmaid's Tale, Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, The Little Prince, Life Is Elsewhere, Ham On Rye, Weaveworld, The Shining, just about everything by Steinbeck, the Chronicles of Narnia, The Virgin Suicides, Franny and Zoey, etc...*if you have any good picks, please email them to me! my brain has been stagnating and the public library is not very inspirational.

Heroes:

you!

My Blog

- it ain't just a river...

if i gave a name to the pain that i feel, to the panic in my chest, to the insidious MADNESS in my head, would i then have to: introduce it to my friends? return its' calls within 24 hours? allow...

"...sooth the burn, wake me up..."

it makes me kind of nutty when people cut and paste the lyrics to a song and post it as a blog. no commentary, no backstory. just cut, paste, and post. i can completely relate to the urge to do it; so...

the serpent in my garden

*to friends and well-wishers: don't panic! this is only a bit of steam from the cooling towers of my brain. it's gotta come out somewhere...and if you can't post bloated hyperboles on the internet, wh...

ramble on

i spend so long trying to formulate a definitive opinion, i sometimes lose sight of what it is i really want. the idea that appearences are everything is so true, and yet so deceiving. sometimes we tr...

"10... 9... 8..."

in a slightly more perfect world, i would be doing this, just before the stroke of midnight, champagne in hand, my potential kiss in arm's reach, on new year's eve. but as it is, i'm over 24 hours ear...

scenes from a pep talk (between me and myself)

Welcome to Boy-Speak 101

this may very well be the end of the sexual revolution. for me, anyway. i'm feeling very disillusioned about femininity. is there anything that's okay about being a woman? i've come to the realization...
