About Me

Cacoethes scribendi

Well I like to read magazines from back to front, drive really fast, listen to music all the time, examine everything, get my hands dirty, and enjoy life. You know, the essentials. You want to know more, better speak up!

Mens retineo

You Belong in London
A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well. What City Do You Belong In?

My Interests

I think I am developing a serious addiction to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Just can't seem to get them off my mini player. But besides that, I like music, movies (but not in the creapy film student kind of way), hockey, playing football, playing pool, playing poker, partying, dancing, traveling, and writing. Sidenote: I don't usually gamble when playing pool or poker, so I am not one of those people with the "gambling problem".

I'd like to meet:



Cool people (you know who you are), people with cool stories to tell, and anyone as bored as I am right now.

Plenty more if I think about it longer. More general, got to love the "oldies but goodies" category!

Movies:

So when it comes to movies I am a big sucker for the old 80's high school type movies, aka: The breakfast club, The Goonies, 16 Candles (basically anything with Molly Ringwald staring or Cyndi Lauper on the soundtrack). Other favorites: Indiana Jones, Sixth Sense, Interview with a Vampire, The Mummy, What Dreams May Come. Generally into comedy, horror, and adventure films, but always open to new things.

Television:

Long live Family Guy and the Simpsons!!!

Books:

This is also a bit of a strange listing, but general authors I like are: Dan Brown(yes I was sucked up into the mass hysteria, but his books are damn good) and Anne Rice. Those are the only two authors I have really stayed glued to. I read a lot for school, so most of the reading I do is non-fiction. Open to suggestions for good fiction and non-fiction reads. I also love poetry, writing and reading it. Some of my favorites are William Shakespeare (of course), Edgar Allen Poe, Ben Johnson, and Goethe.

Heroes:

My grandmother and my sister
