My Interests

Art, writing, music, studying people, psychology. - I'm also into -not- killing animals. I'm a pretty strict "vegetarian" (but not vegan.. yet). I don't wear leather, use gelatin products (that stuff is in EVERYTHING), harm animals, etc.

I'd like to meet:

The founder of the "Regional Allied International Nongender, Boys' Or Womens' Crossdressers Of Lingere Or Reassigned Ensamble Design Per Enhanced Neutrality In Society" (R.A.I.N.B.O.W.C.O.L.O.R.E.D.P.E.N.I.S.). ;)

Seriously? Anybody who can make me laugh or put a smile on my face. Good company. Artists. Writers. Intellects. Clowns. Optimists. People who try. People with dreams. People who think. People who live.

Music:

My fave bands are The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, TOOL, & Stabbing Westward. I listen to a bit of almost everything, though. Love Mindless Self Indulgence, Placebo, the Cranberries, old Radiohead, the Smiths, Pitchshifter, Duran Duran, Orgy, Poe, Snow Patrol, Keane, The Bravery, Interpol, Bright Eyes, Portishead, Massive Attack, old Smashing Pumpkins, Jane Siberry, Lisa Loeb, the Toadies and a slew of others.

Movies:

Comedies (Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Army of Darkness, Nothing, Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different), crappy horror flicks (Tales From the Crypt Presents Demon Knight, Hellraiser 3, Hellraiser: Bloodline, The Night of the Living Dead) and random movies (Quills, Dogfight, Cube, Memento, Shallow Grave). - Three great (crappy) low-budget films: A Bucket of Blood, Spaceman, Vampiyaz - No 1 chick flick: Beaches

Television:

All-Time Faves: Dark Angel, Tru Calling, Wonder Falls, Dead at 21, My So Called Life. I kinda like Bones and Criminal Minds right now but I never manage to watch them anymore.

Books:

Fave Books: 'The Catcher in the Rye,' and by Salinger, 'About A Boy,' & 'High Fidelity' by Hornby. And now 'I Like You' by Sandol Stoddard Warburg. Right now, I'm slowly reading 'My Name is Asher Lev' by Chaim Potok.

Heroes:

Janitors at big venues and the guys who clean portable toilets are my biggest heroes. Their jobs kind of suck.

my humble opinion on nine inch nails

Nine Inch Nails fans as a whole are an interesting group-- and I'm not referring to clothing or hairstyle choices. We're interesting in that we don't care about trend or mainstream or anything else.&...
