Marne

I hate people when they're not polite

About Me

I can play the violin and the clarinet, but I've forgotten how to ride a bicycle. I prefer reptiles and cats over dogs. I like spiders. I'll defend the Oxford comma until my dying day. I like food with 'flavor.' I have never had turkey for Thankgiving.

My Interests

Enforcing the rules of grammar and spelling, music (making it and appreciating it), getting tipsy after two beers, animals (including/especially reptiles and insects!), nature, shopping, planning elaborate theme parties with my friends, enjoying sushi and other assorted ethnic foods, jewelry/piercings, and faking a certain level of classiness...

Music:

Absolute favorites are early REM (up to "Automatic for the People"), Talking Heads, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, and Belle and Sebastian

Movies:

My favorites are North By Northwest, Marnie, Pulp Fiction, The Silence of the Lambs, Lost in Translation, The Shining, and Stop Making Sense

Television:

I watch the news and The Office. That's pretty much it. Television mostly makes me feel itchy, mostly.

Books:

Ulysses; Catch-22; Harry Potter, Our Band Could Be Your Life; Eats, Shoots and Leaves
