sugar and spice and GROSS POISON

About Me

This is my old profile! I don't use it any more! Here is my real myspace profile: myspace / imogen binnie . I'm a band now.Anyway, this is what my old profile said:
I'm a bookpunk mess! I have a noisy messy little heart that likes to jump around and yell! And a squishy pink little brain that gets confused and lost pretty easily, and tends to blame itself for all its problems. Also a shot liver and no ovaries.
I have played some punk rock shows in New York City with such critically acclaimed punk and country-punk bands as the Patriot Act, War Cave and currently Strictly Platonic.
I am totally gross, but I still get makeouts.
I live in Brooklyn because fuck everyplace that isn't Brooklyn except New Jersey. And maybe Australia- I haven't been there but Rach says it's nice.
Here in Brooklyn though I live in a little house in the woods on giant chicken legs, and fly around in a giant mortar and pestle.
...
This is what I've been reading. I haven't been keeping up with it very well recently but it's still a good guideline: a good way to get me to make out with you is to talk about books i like. Or even better, if you recommend me one and I love it then you're pretty much in forever.
This is my livejournal: livejournal / jnnogen . It's mostly public: get creepy!

Oh. I did a benefit for camp trans at the East River Bar, and Angry Lemon played, and my band played, and Big Boote. We made just short of $250 for 'em, which rules. Otherwise, my boyfriend moved away...
