My Interests

Looking like a white girl during Dance Dance Revolution. Adventure, art, museums, words, culture, nature, architecture, antiquarianism, the symphony...and Jammie Dodgers. I'll eat 4 of those fuckers at a time. There are only 8 in a pack. They really taste more like shit biscuits but for some reason I can't stop eating them.

I'd like to meet:

Genius. Inventors. Those that make me laugh. Pysicists who will explain string theory to me, so as to cut down on my reading time. Storytellers. People who are versed on any particular subject.

I know a tiger trainer, a rocket scientist and a paranormal investigator. If I meet an ostrich jockey this weekend I think my friend circle will be pretty well rounded out.

Cool guys like this:

Music:

Listening to jazz lately. Hellogoodbye, Royksopp, Ringer, Bent, Junior Boys, Art of Noise, Ladytron, M83, Bloc Party, LCD Sound System, Phoenix, Mint Royale, Frou Frou, Imogen Heap, Scissor Sisters, Nickel Creek, Emmet Otter's Jug Band (old school), Glenn Miller, John Williams, Kylie Minogue, Daniel Beddingfield, Hilary Duff (it would be wrong to deny it) 80's, dance mixes.

Movies:

John Huges movies, The Fifth Element, Legend, Labyrinth, Contact, Amelie, The Notebook, Imagine Me and You, DEBS, Donnie Darko, Flash Gordon, Gremlins, Bell Book and Candle, Jane Eyre (old school).

Television:

Lost, Heroes, Dexter and Kyle XY. But lately, I've been vacillating between dowloading A&E documentaries and "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. My inconsistency is throroughly consistent.

Books:

I spent a good portion of my youth either reading or kicking balls...more often than not, the sportie kind as opposed to my brothers. At the time I was shy and figured most people were evil and resigned myself to the library or my room with the door closed. I still read everything. If there's is nothing lying around with ink transcribed to pages or digital pixels on a computer screen, I will read a cereal box or anything handy. In fact, my fabulous social skills were learned much later in life only after I realized being the quiet girl was fo' suckas!

Heroes:

Will Ferrell, Joss Whedon, John Steinbeck, Roald Dahl, Jack London, Winnie Holzman.

I saw a Santa Clause today and I wanted to punch him in the face. Is that a bad thing?
