About Me

"...he was very particular about his letter-writing and he regarded his wife as a treasury of correct language"
From George Eliot's (Marian Evans', IRL) "Middlemarch"
I love writing that introduces a character to you so skillfully that you think you've just been introduced to a part of yourself.
It's all about the loosening of the hold on Self...
I have been aching lately to play a tragedy. Something full of conflict, full of "I love him but he has done a great wrong"-ness, or something similar.

My Interests

THEATER/TELEVISION/PICTURES: I make for you a platter of ripened emotions, you eat them, but it is I who carry away the greater satisfaction.Also: writing things that make you all sad and confused.

I'd like to meet:

Directors who'd like very much to see me die (on stage).

Music:

The sound of the forcible removal of one's Christian Soul from one's Devil-ridden consciousness, and its subsequent replacement with droplets of silvery-goo moonlight.Lately: Airy-type voices and lots of super-pretentiousness like dem folks Ladytron and Depeche Mode (Oh, Depeche Mode, how ever could I have thought that you should have been delegated to my 14-yr old tastes only? Forgive me, forgive me...)
This is an excellent piece of noise. Additionally, it features many attractive individuals, including a dude with some deliciously germanic features (all are hawth, all but the chicks with the lollipops, dat be).
BTW: I suddenly feel obligated to notify the general public that this music video was Not made by the band in question (Shiny Toy Guns). A google image search of the band will thus yield none of the faces you desire. Just visit the site; the user who posted this video has a bunch of the two main folk (who appear at the very beginning) a-dancin' and actin' to various songs by Shiny Toy Guns. It is wonderful.

Movies:

American Beauty
Brazil
Casablanca
Requiem for a Dream
The Party
You and Me and Everyone We Know
Endless Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Being John Malkovich
Being There
Little Miss Sunshine
Adaptation
Dr. Strangelove
The Life Aquatic
The Shawshank Redemption
As Good As It Gets (Nicholson eyebrows = Babel

Books:

Big fat ones with fatty globules of learnin'-'bout-neurons encased in some impossibly long sentences and just generally beautiful language.

Also, even fattier books containing something about how those neurons confuse truth with good, and bad with self-help, and all sorts of fun confusions regarding sexuality, or happiness, or duty.

Heroes:

August Wilson, Charlie Kaufman, any man who can play Romeo better than I could. :P

Respect for the Cloth

"Respect for the cloth" is a strange bedfellow of "God-fearing," and, as a cliche, has something to do with fearing those who are God-fearing, a sort of meta-fear, if you will. Oddly, it often c...

Heyyyyya!

I had a lovely day today. I had all of the lovely, reddish, cracked ghosts of a cold around my nose and mouth and the phlegmy aura of it in my voice. I wore my blue wristbands with roses on them (po...

I cannot bear to let earwax die

I had just determined to take swab to ear, for to perform the diligent and careful task of cleaning that illustrious piece of curled & ridged flesh, when I felt such a twinge of oddness about that min...

poetry about girls

Women are unfortunately more interesting to write about than men - or perhaps it is only that I am too happy with Michael to write things about him. I mean, no one likes to read some work of pure glo...

I wanted to call it "Sike"

Disclaimer: I actually love both acting *and* the life I live outside of the stage/camera frame, and am usually even fairly pleased with my Self. It's four shots of Nyquil to force you to sleep tonig...

Children: not great, but Human nonetheless

Honestly, I think of most children as sort of "pre"-humans, but I actually think I might prefer a precocious, or even just a more-than-mildly-curious child to an unread, unintelligent, or insensitive ...

Brown Hair (because I actually love explaining in detail the reasons why I live the way I do)

Well, I lived Pink/Purple for some period of time (a year and a half, to be exact, with some minor deviances into blue/orange for halloween and a show respectively), because I was living in a shit-hol...
