Synaesthesia

In the end, she is alone, in her world, on her cliff, with her storm

About Me

I'm 27 years old, with an amazing seven-year-old daughter.
I've been in Burque for nearly four years...longer than I've willingly lived, well, anywhere. I guess they call it the Land of Entrapment for a reason, eh? Not that I really feel trapped-I'm not. I can pick up and leave any time I want to, I'm just not ready yet. And, I haven't picked my next adventure. Not that I mind being in Albuquerque-I have awesome friends here, I just don't see myself being here forever.
One of my life goals is to visit every state in the US and every country in which I'm not likely to get shot by the time I die. So far I've got these states and these countries down, which means I have a lot of work to do.
I have precisely no clue what I want to be when I grow up. I have volumes of ideas, but nothing concrete. I'm going back to school to get a Digital Media Degree as well as finish up those four pesky classes between me and my Communications/PR degree. Do you think I can con some school into giving me an honorary masters due to the incredibly stupid number of credit hours I've earned? Yeah, didn't think so.
Basic personality bits: I'm a rollercoaster. I can be very abrasive. I'm spooky which causes me not to take myself seriously. I'm more comfortable around strangers than people I know. I have to do several things at one time, because my brain functions too quickly for me to be able to focus on one thing. Quiet scares me. I'm afraid of tap water and have a psuedo-phobia of bath tubs. My favorite color is deep clear. And I have the amazing ability to drive people batshit insane if they hang out around me too long.

My Interests

Everything. Well, almost everything.

I'd like to meet:

People who prefer rollercoasters to carousels.

People who understand that prisms have many sides, and shine in different patterns depending on the light passing through at any given time.

Someone who will dance with me.

Music:


Favorite band: Information Society

Band guaranteed to make me cry: Iris

Bands that make me feel sexy: Sister Machine Gun, Machines of Loving Grace, Luxt

Bands I listen to when I'm angry: Stromkern, The Strand, Orgy, Rosetta Stone, Imperative Reaction

Bands I listen to on road trips: Xymox, Iris, Mesh, Dramarama, Leiahdorus, The Echoing Green, The Faint

Other bands that can be substituted in all but the 'Favorite' and 'Guaranteed to Make Me Cry' categories: The Birthday Massacre, MSI, Tones on Tail, Daniel Ash, Wolfsheim, Apop, Razed In Black, Beborn Beton, In Strict Confidence, SNOG, Zeromancer, Love & Rockets, Gary Numan, De/Vision, Skinny Puppy, NIN, Assemblage 23, Einsturzende Neubauten, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Schostacovich, Tchikovski, Danny Elfman, Bach,...this list could possibly be longer than Pi.

For other music that fills me with *insert emotion here*, check out my friends list.

Movies:

Cabaret, Chicago, Victor/Victoria, Peggy Sue Got Married, Seven, Saw, Chasing Amy, Love Actually, V for Vendetta (thanks Shawn), Sin City, City of Lost Children, Edward Scissorhands, Elizabeth, The Addams Family, Addams Family Values, BASEketball, Office Space, Idiocracy (this movie is an argument for mandatory birth control) and so on...

I like psychological thrillers, satire, dark comedy, and pretty things (for example: The Last Unicorn).

I also tend to cry at movies. But don't point that out, because I'll get embarrassed.

Television:

I have a television, but only for movies. Everything else I watch on the internet when I'm either really bored or really lazy. My guilty pleasures are Desperate Housewives, Supernatural, Jericho and Grey's Anatomy.

When I get the chance I watch clips of The Daily Show on my computer.

I also have a soft spot for comedy stand up specials.

Books:

Current reads: "Mirror, Mirror"-Gregory Maguire

The book that changed my life: "The Gift of Fear"-Gavin de Becker.

Heroes:

My Grandmother, Jo.

Only At a Distance

So, recently, I found myself about to fall into another person.  This does not happen often, and I caught myself before I went over the cliff.  I'd like to be ready to just take a running le...
