I am here for Friends

About Me

To take your own test, just go here - http://www.mypersonality.info/Describe myself... well, this has never been easy for me to do, but I'll try to be an impartial self-observer! According to the Myers-Briggs personality tests, I'm an 'INFP', which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perception... I think I'm comfortable with that. I'm currently working in retail, but in my varied past I've been employed by film crews, health food gurus, alt-rock singers, souvlaki slingers,... ooops, bad rhyme alert! :-) Music, art, film, and creativity in general are all important to me, and I hope someday to living with my 'artsy endevors'. My friends are also very important to me, and I sometimes think of them as my family of choice , 'tho they'd never replace my own, equally wonderful family. I love animals; I don't have any of my own at the moment, but some of the neighborhood cats come upstairs and visit me occasionally. Well, if any of this sounds interesting, just drop me a line and we'll compare notes and lives!

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

Update: I'm getting relentlessly spammed with friending requests by 'members' who are really just advertising their photo site or dating service, so for the time being if you want to friend me, you'll need to enter a CAPTCHA code after clicking on the 'Add to Friends' button, so I'll know you're a real person and not a spam robot. Thanks!

Movies:

For some reason, it's always really hard for me to list my favorite movies, so maybe I should just list some favorite directors. In no particular order: Krzysztof Kieslowski, François Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Luis Buñuel, Roger Corman, Richard Lester, Alain Robbe-Grillet (he co-taught a film class I took), Ridley Scott, Bob Rafelson, Louis Malle, Milo,, Forman, Tim Burton, Orson Welles, Ed Wood, Jr.... and more to come.

Television:

Umm... I don't have cable at the moment, so I'm not watching much TV these days, but I do try to catch Soundstage and Austin City Limits on PBS, and The Simpsons as often as possible.

Books:

Last book I read was "Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music" by Blair Tindall. I used to envy the lives of classical musicians until I read this book.

Vinyl addiction

I'm in the middle of moving currently, and having to deal with transporting my entire LP collection for the 1st time since '93. I have 12 'Peaches' crates of albums (was 13, but one broke in transit),...
