About Me

There are a lot of unchecked boxes.

My Interests

onomastics, Egypt, whatever makes me laugh, 1960s French pop music, window-shopping for houses, skiing, reading, writing, fashion, travel, paranormal phenomena, coping with my inarticulacy, ruining my life, not ruining yours.

I'd like to meet:

This man, foremost: It's our 10 year anniversary. In a matter of speaking. ♥

Music:


Movies:

Wes Anderson, Jan Svankmajer, foreign, 80s and 90s teen movies, cult, classic, independent, trilogies, war movies

Television:

The X-Files, The Office, M*A*S*H, Firefly, 30 Rock

Books:

QUILL, n.
An implement of torture yielded by a goose and commonly wielded by an ass. This use of the quill is now obsolete, but its modern equivalent, the steel pen, is wielded by the same everlasting Presence.

Heroes:
