VICTROLA!, why'd you run away?

If you can do no good, at least do no harm. -Vonnegut.

About Me


I refuse to be buried alive with you.
what more do you want from me?
some sort of apology?
well I promise that forgiveness is the most you'll get.
and what I demand of you is to put up or shut up.
so make your decision, but remember - you can't kill us all.
I know you don't know what you say but I don't feel any safer from you.
hate is too easy and we'll both find a way to be right.
no matter how far a stretch.
and even now I've all but forgotten what we're fighting for.
to end something or to begin it?
I don't even know why I care to continue.
old habits die hard I guess.
but we don't.
and the threats are still made.
I'll kill you.
even though turning away seems safer.
I want to be in the middle.
I want to go for the jugular, but I don't remember why.
was it to start something or to end it?
I know why I continue.
I do it all for them.
for her I can be an influence and for them a backbone.
to end the old and begin a new age of compromise and clear thinking.
coalesce . you can't kill us all
"I became aware that the invincible power that has moved the world is unrequited, not happy, love."
Memories of My Melancholy Whores Gabriel García Márquez
I'm Victoria.
I'm cynical.
if I don't like something, you'll probably know it.
I have an unhealthy obsession with fonts and type setting.
I go to art school.
I don't fit in to whatever preconceived stereotype you have for art students, I promise.
my friends are absolutely amazing.
I go to concerts a lot.
I book shows at the Division Avenue Arts Cooperative . and I totally fucking love it.
I'm not a coat rack.
I have enough of my own shit going on, don't expect me to put up with yours.
I'm not a slut.
I'm not here to make you happy, but if we're friends then God knows I will try to.
My greatest accomplishments are the times I've made people laugh.
I like piercings and tattoos. apparently a lot of people don't.
I'm not clumsy, the world is just completely boobie trapped.
a brief description is never enough to form an opinion.
I try to act tough so people won't fuck with me.
I guess I'm not really so tough.
but you can't change me.
and you can't fake this shit.
don't try.
you'll fail.
now let's dance.
you probably won't like me.
most people don't.
life goals:
win someone's unborn child
eat pizza that looks like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pizza COMPLETED! 032907
play with clay like in Berenstein Bears
remove Comic Sans from every computer in the world and destroy it's entire existence.

My Interests

typography, music, movies, photography, art

I'd like to meet:



my shadow.

I would not at all mind meeting a nice boy who would enjoy cuddling with me.

someone who was on one of the many wonderful Nickelodean game shows of the 1990's. Guts, Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Wild and Crazy Kids, Figure It Out, etc.

people who want to be something, and are actually willing to work to become what they want.

I'm frustrated with the amount of disrespect floating around these days. I want to meet some people who deserve my respect and give it to me in return. I want to meet someone who realizes that we need to work together to make things better for everyone and is willing to do it.
