Are you crying because you broke your toy, or because there's nothing else to play with?

About Me

I really need to update this section...

My Interests

Reading, watching movies that don't suck, listening to music that doesn't suck, playing with my kiddo, taking long aimless drives at night. I like going to Cafe Coco every now and again for some good old fashion discussion & debate, but I really don't get out much. I absolutely abhor TV, so don't ever ask me if I've seen that one character do that one thing on that one show 'cause it's going to be a big negative.

I'd like to meet:

Who ever wants to take the time.

Music:

I'm rather eclectic in my musical tastes, so bear with me: Dave Matthews Band, Ani DiFranco, Bare Naked Ladies, They Might Be Giants, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Ben Folds, Johnny Cash, Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer, Acid Bath, David Gray, Squirel Nut Zippers, System of a Down, Group X. I also like to listen to opera. "Carmen" by Bizet and "Porgy & Bess" by the Gershwin brothers are my favourites.

Movies:

Se7en, 13 Monkeys, Silence of the Lambs (noticing a trend?), Armageddon (even though I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so many mistakes before or since), La Citie du Enfants Perdue, Cemetary Man, Braveheart, Shrek, Lilo & Stitch, Equilibrium, Some Like it Hot, Citizen Cain, Full Metal Jacket, Donnie Darko, both Toy Story's, The Village, Saving Private Ryan, Casablanca.

Television:

Television is the work of the devil. As is Microsoft.

Books:

Wow, this is going to be a long one... Silence of the Lambs, The Red Dragon, A Clockwork Orange, 1984, Brave New World, The Divine Comedy, Crime & Punishment, The Grapes of Wrath, anything by Poe, anything by Neil Gaiman, Mein Kampf (no, I'm not racist, just found it interesting to see inside such a fucked up mind), Schindler's List, and they'll be more later... Ok, here's some more... Survivor Choke and Fight Club, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Night, Of Love and Other Demons, Gone with the Wind, Lord of the Flies, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Most of Stephen King's work, Lenore, Catch-22, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Satanic Bible (again with the fuckedupedness), The Bible (one of the greatest mythologies of all time), Anything Shakespeare especially tragedies like Hamlet and Othello, Heart of Darkness, The Count of Monte Cristo, Alice Through the Looking Glass, The Oedipus Rex trilogy, Scary Stories series, Lolita and other works of Vladimir Nabokov. There are tons more, but if I make this much longer, no one will actually read it.

Heroes:

I'm going to be cheesy here and say my grandfather.

Grave Digger

A glance, a smile, a laugh...People say that when you die, you leave empty handed. I like to think that isn't so, that as we lie cold in our graves we have our memories to keep us company. Little snap...

Bed Rest

Quick update for all of my friends out there in cyber land. Sorry I've been crummy about keeping in touch, but between being pregnant and Hunter I just haven't had the energy. Now, I'm on bed rest and...

"I must admit, things are gettin better..."

Jason spent the night last night so we could get some of our emotional trash out of the way, and after a rough, yet cathartic start, we actually made some headway. It’s been decided that we...

Empty

Do you ever wake up, metaphorically speaking, and wonder where you are, or how you got here? My head hurts. I feel void. I keep expecting that the next time I slam my head into this brick wall that i...
