About Me

I'm all about creating an outlet on the internet to represent myself to new people, but ultimately I think *real* interaction is preferable. Here's a few tidbits: I have my funny moments; I can be quiet at first, but I'm a loyal friend once you win me over; I like to go out a lot; I can probably drink your ass under the table; I like going to new places, especially places that I may pass as part of my daily routine and never notice; when I'm hung up on some item of music, film, television or art I go crazy for it; I can get a little loud, goofy and overbearing when I'm drunk; I'm a lifelong Chicagoan (or at least a lifelong resident of "Chicagoland"), and I'm quite proud of my accent. Meh, just find out the rest for yourself.

My Interests

Tim and Eric Awesome Show; italians do it better records; funny cute dogs, especially little ones; tea; managing and stressing out over my tobacco intake; consuming too much alcohol and regretting it the next day; consuming greens; queer and feminist stuff; psyching myself out; observing people; geeky academic stuff; free porn; no god; and other stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Humans. And non-humans. Cute dogs. And a hott date.I like to think, and I like to meet people that can make me think w/out being wanky about it. Let's go out and have a drink or four.

Lots of things. Happiness, Heathers, Return of the Living Dead, Little Shop Of Horrors (80's one), lots of bad (and good) 70s/80s slasher movies, Wet Hot American Summer, Me and You and Everyone We Know, John Waters (Female Trouble's the ultimate), Todo Sobre Mi Madre, Southern Comfort, Brain Candy, House of Yes, Go Fish, Cabaret, Crouching Tiger, Best In Show, Paris Is Burning, The Graduate, After Hours, Roger and Me, Times of Harvey Milk, Desperately Seeking Susan, Venus Boyz, Royal Tennenbaums, Antonia's Line, Lost In Translation, Monsoon Wedding, Reform School Girls, Repo Man, Sixteen Candles, just to name a few.

Also Reno 911, King of the Hill, Daria, Kids In The Hall (best show ever), Simpsons, Sarah Silverman Program, Six Feet Under, Strangers w/Candy, The State, Sex and the City, Stella, Upright Citizens Brigade, Absolutely Fabulous, any semi-interesting documentary.

Books:

Not a lot lately. :( I used to read a lot, mostly nonfiction from school- Foucault is wonderful but admittedly a pain in the ass to read, Judith Butler (same thing), Judith Halberstam, Malcolm X, Kate Bornstein, bell hooks, most any article/essay related to social constructionism, postmodernism, poststructuralism, deconstructionism, socialism, etc. For fiction- Kafka's Metamorphosis; 1984; White Noise; Less Than Zero; Harry Potter (yeah shut up); Great Gatsby. Fever: the art of David Wojnarowicz= best book i own. I need to start reading more again.

Heroes:

Also: John Brown, bell hooks, Michel Foucault, Deena Weinstein, Kate Bornstein, and a few other people.

My Blog

Holy crap. DUIs suck.

Since I haven't really posted a blog in a really long long time I figured I'd take the opportunity to document my progress through the bowels of the northern Illinois DUI punishment system.....
