About Me

People always say you should be yourself, like yourself is this definite thing, like a toaster, or something. Like you can know what it is, even. But every so often, I'll have like a moment, where being myself, and my life right where I am is, like, enough. ...Angela Chase
• i'm a nice girl with a sometimes dirty whorish mouth.
• i think i might have restless leg syndrome. and OCD.
• i bore easily, so i move a lot. i've been to the west coast and back a total of three times now. (stay classy san diego.) i bought my very own house in APR '07 so i don't think i'll be leaving again anytime real soon. but i will always have a gypsy soul...
• i like to travel - roadtrips are my favorite!
• my ears are small, but they hear a lot. i'm a good listener.
• yeah, so i have a big rack, but behind that i have a big, big heart. i've been known to cry at kleenex commercials, pixar cartoons, reunion shows, and when one person wins both show case showdowns. take advantage of that & i'll kick your ass.
• i wear nerdy glasses.
• i have entirely too many pairs of shoes. most of them are black.
• i have 1500+ cds (starting with a perfect circle & ending with zwan) but i'm working on dumping them all on my iPod & having a big sale. (so far i've done about 5 cds total.) whomever wants first dibs on Brandi better speak now or forever hold their piece.
• i have never been a daddy's girl, but my mom rocks!
• i have two older brothers - maybe that's why i'm so butch...
• i'm crazy for animals - a full fledged card carrying PETA member (but i do shave). ...this doesn't mean you can't eat meat at the same table as me, i just might watch you & cry... anyway, i have two chihuahua's: eddie munster & princess tila tequilia con queso(i call them eddie & tila for short), and an extremely grumpy but loveable old pomeranian named max(well's silver hammer) that lives with my mom. i also recently adopted two black kitties: luther vandross & johnny cash.
• i'm a supposed descendant of (viking) Eric the Red. which i guess would therefore make me a distant relative of Leif Ericson (not to be confused with 70's pop/sex icon Leif Garrett). although i've never tried raping and/or pilaging villages (lover, not a fighter), i do enjoy the mead.
• you should also probably know that i collect lawn gnomes. its my dream to have them surround my back yard (but so far i only have three).
• i like to use parenthesis and ellipses... (a lot.)

My Interests

going to concerts/shows, roadtrips, reading, camping, walking, laughing, crying, talking, tattoos... i'm currently pretty bored - so let me know if you have any refreshing ideas.

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, delirious of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes Awwww! ...j. kerouac

funny people. pre-teen & post-teen crushes.
examples in no particular order: jordan catalano. lloyd dobler. michael pitt. wanda sykes. michael ian black. zach galifianakis. margaret cho. sarah silverman. johnny depp. johnny depp as sweeney todd. johnny depp as jack sparrow. johnny depp as victor van dort. johnny depp as willy wonka. johnny depp as ichabod crane. johnny depp as gilbert grape. johnny depp as edward scissorhands. johnny depp as wade "cry-baby" walker. johnny depp as raoul duke. hell, we'll throw in johnny depp as officer tom hanson -- but thats all. and snoop d o double g. but if i can't meet them, i'll settle for:
• people who aren't stupid, close-minded, devil worshipers or religious freaks (to be more precise, no hillbillies).
• someone who doesn't name drop or chew with their mouths open/smack their gum or handle their junk in public.
• if you are homophobic or racist, do not waste my time or yours - not when yours could be much better spent by getting a life and an education.
• HONEST, WITTY, INTELLIGENT, OPEN-MINDED, people with their head on their shoulders and not up their ass. save the drama for your mama.
• someone who embraces life & can cry & cuss when they're pissed or cry & laugh when they're happy.
• debate is good and healthy, but as i am opinionated, sometimes we may just have to agree to disagree - which is fine by me.
• you must like music. plain & simple.
• i'll probably think yer dumb if you have a shirtless picture of yourself in your profile. unless you're a chick. then i'll think one of two things, "man, she has big hairy balls!" or "what a slut!" depends on the pose.
• ...also, if it offends you that i said "balls" or "ass" in my profile, i probably wouldn't like you anyway. not to say those are the only two words in my vocab. or anything, and i surely wouldn't say them in front of your mum (not the first time anyway), but... i've got a sometimes crass sense of humor and absolutely adore sarcasm. what i'm saying is, "balls" and "ass" are (figuratively, not literally) just part of what make me? ME.

Music:

the afghan whigs, aimee mann, amy winehouse, ani difranco, barenaked ladies, beck, ben folds, big head todd, bloodhound gang, concrete blonde, counting crows, daft punk, danny elfman, dar williams, dave matthews band, david bowie, depeche mode, dirty vegas, dressy bessy, fiona apple, fleetwood mac, foo fighters, g love, goldfrapp, harry connick jr., imogen heap, imperial teen, indigo girls, jason mraz, jeff buckley, joni mitchell, juliana hatfield, jungle, liz phair, local h, mazzy star, natalie merchant, nick drake, NIN, nofx, oingo boingo, pansy division, peter gabriel, pinback, pixies, portishead, prince, siouxsie and the banshees, steve poltz, stevie nicks, stevie wonder, sugar, tegan & sara, the breeders, the cranberries, the beatles, the cure, the rugburns, the sundays, the twilight singers, tori amos, trip-hop, van morrison, ween, weezer, zero 7 etc.etc.etc.

Movies:

little miss sunshine, willy wonka and the chocolate factory, dead poets society, the wizard of oz, the shining, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, what dreams may come, amelie, old school, the neverending story, the princess bride, the corpse bride, the nightmare before christmas, edward scissorhands, bend it like beckham, house of yes, but i'm a cheerleader, requiem for a dream, say anything, breakfast club, sixteen candles, pretty in pink, heathers, jawbreaker, better off dead, shaun of the dead, welcome to the dollhouse, run lola run, party monster, trainspotting, secretary, hedwig and the angry inch, ghost world, chasing amy, dogma, clerks, goodfellas, whale rider, me and you and everyone we know...
most anything with a quirky story line. generally not really into the big blockbusters. i prefer to immerse myself in a story with a lot of dialogue and emotion as opposed to one that can offer nothing but a really "hot" leading man or lady and/or a bunch of special effects/explosions.

Television:

chuck. the sarah silverman program. heros. lost. pushing daisies. grey's anatomy. old school adult swim. the daily show. real time... and other "politically incorrect" type stuff. discovery & travel channel crap. ghost hunters.

Books:

favorite authors: david sedaris. augusten burroughs. chuck palahniuk. dr. seuss. j.k. rowling. maurice sendak. sylvia plath. elizabeth wurtzel. james st. james...
google their books & if they've written it, i've probably read it. (have to say "naked" by david sedaris is a personal favorite)

Heroes:

my mom and amy sedaris. whom incidentally, are absolutely nothing alike.
