Blackeyed Susan

I'm dangling on the edge like a suicidal participle.

About Me

I feel younger now than I did 2 years ago. Though my life may not be perfect, and though I may feel my little daily stresses and anxieties, I believe I am truly happy where I am. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Music, literature, cooking, travel... especially trains and boats. I'm interested in the world.

I'd like to meet:

The Doctor...oh wait. He's fictional. Damn. Well thanks for ruining my dream of space time travel.

Music:

All of it. Well, most of it anyway. Thanks again Rob...hoo-ha!!!!

Movies:

Pirate movies, Henson Studios movies, movies by Jean Pierre Jeunet, quirky movies (like Mystery Men and Lost Skeleton of Kadavra), adventures, fantasies, sci fi movies, and the occassional romance movie...shut up.

Television:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, NCIS, Ugly Betty, and absolutely anything by Jim Henson.

Books:

I love books. Some of my favorites are Peter Beagle, J K Rowling, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Patricia Wrede, Ray Bradbury, Christopher Moore, I'm getting into Umberto Eco, books on music history, general history, and writing. Poetry and plays are good too.

Heroes:

Ordinary people are my heroes mostly. I believe in making the world better one person at a time. Anyone that does that, is my hero. Also Gutenberg. I really like books.

Incompetence Contest

I put this question to you. Who is stupider and more incompetent...Sarah Pallin now, or Bush Jr 8 years ago? Perhaps because she is fresher in my mind, but I have to go with Pallin. Bush was dumb a...

Asshat!!!

So yesterday I was in a car accident. All involved were fine. My car is not (which is ironic because it was the other guy's fault and his truck was fine), but that's not the point of this. I had to...
