About Me

Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm going to go to med school and become a neurosurgeon... but only after driving across the country with some good friends, writing Pulitzer Prize-winning novels about each other.
Awesome: Vegetarians, coffee, cigarettes, independent cinema, foreign films, dark comedy, cloves, eyeliner, alcohol, piercings, intelligence, courtesy, people with manners, nighttime, creativity, switching majors, being interesting, pacifism, libertarianism, foreigners, culture, Downy wrinkle releaser, latenight trips to Wawa, the word "schadenfreude"...
Kinda shitty: Stupid people, prejudiced people, ignorant people, girls that think being called a "bitch" means they're "independent and strong-willed," when it really just means that they're "unpleasant to be around," insensitivity, assholes without just cause, meat (ha), jingoism, the word "moist," people who hold grudges from when they were kids, hatred, most mushrooms, black and white photos with high contrast that are deemed "art," vanity, suicidal tendencies, Odesse vodka, people who add a thousand people they don't know and then bitch about having no comments, and also people who use the bulletin feature like a blog. If something amazingly funny happened to you, then fine. But do you really need to post four bulletins a day that say "...my life sucks. /3. [emo lyrics]" No, you sure don't. Get a LiveJournal , already.

PS: Oh, and also: Don't add me if you don't plan on speaking to me. If you add me, and don't talk to me within a week or so, expect to be deleted. OK, awesome! Pressing onward...
PPS: And I don't know why, but 16-year-old girls find me irresistible.
PPPS: And: People who use the letter "u" in place of the word "you" need to be shot. Same goes for "r" and "are." And "cool" is not spelled K-E-W-L, unless you are twelve. And if you're twelve, I'd rather you didn't talk to me. It would kind of creep me out.

But I do love the "Full House" episodes that play on Nick at Nite and ABC Family. Oh, and I definitely must mention the best show in the history of television (next to SFU): "Popular."
