About Me

Most people know me as being ascerbic, sarcastic, funny, direct and wild but there is a whole other side of me (that exists more than the other) that is highly introspective, quiet, sensitive, and deep.I love to eat well and have some drinks but I also take excellent care of myself. I prefer to hang out w/someone who is egotistical and smart rather than nice and dumb. Dumbness is the hardest thing for me to tolerate. I'm completely prejudiced towards New Yorkers which means, if you are from there (of course Brooklyn and the boroughs are included), I probably already like you. I question myself at least 12 times a day about still being in L.A. My dog is one of the coolest on the planet and is the Derby Dolls' mascot. See below for her picture as an alien "bunny". I'm an obsessive reader consuming everything from political columns to Westways (the AAA mag-not AA!). It's incomprehensible to me how people like Cheney and Bush exist. They are Lizard People. My heart broke in response to the New Orleans disaster. I read "Walden" when I was 15 and thought it sounded like a pretty good existence. Still do. I may up and move to the middle of nowhere at any minute and have a bunch of animals. I may strive to become the new sasquatch.

My Interests

Pretty self-explanatory: why are you on here if you don't want to meet people or share? Is this the new "cooler" way to "myspace"? Did this start in Echo Park?
