the internet needs erased and redone.

About Me

After me comes the flood. I graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh this past December with a bachelors in graphic design. I have a goal of starting my own design business/store.I've changed a lot since I moved to Pittsburgh, and I think I'm comfortable with who I've become and what I am now. I like to be around good people, watch movies, be outside when it's nice out, and I love the simple things like going to museums, sitting somewhere in the city, and taking pictures.I make people laugh, I listen when they need me, and I hope someday I will be fully happy, that's something I'm still searching for. Until then, I try to do what's in my best interest, meet who I can, and just enjoy what I have. I love every era except this one.
Bring back the simplicity of the 50s

Movies:

Detroit Rock City, Rent, Grease, Napoleon Dynamite, Capote, The Squid and the Whale, The Breakfast Club, Slums of Beverly Hills, The Wiz, The Wizard of Oz, Bio-Dome,...I love horror movies. Like, shitty ones. And funny movies...but only if they're really stupid. I basically like movies that suck and have never seen most of the classics.But I love the Brat Pack and the Frat Pack.

Television:

I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, Will & Grace, Mythbusters, Modern Marvels, ATHF, Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons and you can usually catch me watching The Discovery Channel, History Channel, and sometimes the Travel Channel. I love files - Cold Case Files, Forensic Files, etc. or anything with mystery, science, paranormal, natural disasters, or strange creatures. I also love old school Nickelodeon and shows where they cut people open and operate on them. Yeah it's gross but I can handle it.

Books:

Things by C.S. Lewis, Bentley Little, Douglas Coupland, Gregory Maquire, and Dean Koontz and a bunch of other things..I'm currently reading "Wicked" and it's good so far.

Heroes:
