My Interests

Arranging things on my desk at work in various neat, logical configurations. This usually occurs twice a day. Collecting old skeleton keys and pictures of Kate Moss. The keys are haunted and Kate used to be a skeleton. Eating at really expensive restaurants and dancing at really cheap clubs. Cheering people up and then dashing their hopes to the ground. Dressing up in clothes that cost 3 months rent one day, old jeans and a t-shirt the next. Sleeping all day and reading all night. Enjoy.

i am a scenester!

How indie are you? test by ridethefader
You are so indie it hurts. You hang out with the coolest people in your city. It doesn't even bother you that none of them know your name. You know lots of bands personally, you know a couple of guys from We Hate The Mainstream Records, and you blag your way into getting almost everything for free. That fanzine you write gives you extra kudos. You probably don't even care that non-scenesters think you're a pretentious fuck.

I'd like to meet:

You, you & you... but especially you.

"Oh what? This? It only looks like a laser gun that kills people..."

Oh. My. God.I was obsessed with this song "We're in Business" (a.k.a. the Robot Song) by fellow Brooklynite Andrew Thompson when I first heard it about 2-3 years ago. I played it for everyone. Fuck, p...
