My Interests

reading, books, glasses, hair, my bike, tattoos, brainstorming, intellect, music, wine

I'd like to meet:

jane austen and ernest hemingway. at the same time. so i could bitch-slap them both.

Music:

the cure, the smiths, duran duran, dinosaur jr., refused, cat power, bjork, beck, johnny cash, the decemberists, sufjan stevens, too many to name.

Movies:

Books:

Heroes:
