You can't see the stars, love. That's the ceiling. Also, it's day.

About Me

+ Currents obsessions: Swingles (a mini key lime pie dipped in dark chocolate), Flickr(http://www.flickr.com/photos/rfullerrd/), everything curried, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, photo walks, being out of debt, playing league soccer once again.
+ 10 Things that you can do for the Sudan: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/books/whatisthewhat.sudan.html
AS SOON AS YOU CAN GO SEE THE MOVIE THAT THIS CLIP IS FROM: BOMB IT. IT IS WELL WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY.
+ The only thing that I have ever inherited was a pistol.
+ I either love getting tons of sleep OR I'm trying to stay awake for as long as I can. Naps can be nice...
+ I think that people who make their MySpace profile private are lame. Or strippers. Or lame strippers.
+ I'll always be willing to argue the validity of strange and random bits of knowledge with anyone who is crazy enough to get into it with me.
+ I have been attacket by: a poisionous spider (almost lost my arm), multiple individuals in wheelchairs (bastards!), and an elderly ex-mobster living in a nursing home (he was eventually transfered to an institution for the violently insane).

+ I can beat anyone EVER at Ms Pacman and can answer almost any question that you may have about the Twin Peaks series.
You are Bettie Page
The girl next door with a wild streak
You're a famous beauty - with a unique look
The people who like you are cultish about it What Famous Pinup Are You?
+ I love the Great New York State Fair more than anyone else that you will ever meet. I've only missed it three times, including this summer (damn it!), since I was born.
+ I do not believe in post-feminism or post-hardcore. You are either in or you're out.
+ I am a world class garbage picker and I have probably found more free porn (ranging from DVDs to old copies of Black Tail) than anyone else you know.
+ I have an odd fondness for Brendan Fraser, Anthony Anderson, Phyllis Diller, and the Gabor family
