Fuck Shit Up!

About Me

HEY: I really... REALLY will not add you to my friends list unless I've met you in the real world.

Here are some things worth knowing, I suppose.

I'm currently a "strict vegetarian", but not in that PETA, Animal Rights kinda way. I just think eating animals and living our lives in a way that is unsustainable is selfish and totally lame.

I am now the proud owner of a 1983 Isuzu P'up, which runs on as much biodiesel as I can afford. And yes, for your information, I do think that makes me better than you... a little bit....

I don't smoke pot. I'm too much of a Type A to enjoy drugs.

I hate fashionistas in general. I want substance over style.

I believe in many causes.
I'm a giant bleeding heart who has always wanted to change the world.

I am a super caffiene junkie plus and under-cover subversive.

My Interests

LIKES: piercings. punk rock shows, music, dancing, theatre, art, camping, corsets, stompy boots, Burning Man, coffee, hot shoes, boys with ink...girls with ink, far-off destinations, baking goodies, leather, platform boots, the word "cunt", hard alcohol, road trips, costumes, poking at dead things with sticks, literature, spinning fire, pie, liberal radio, Vasquez Comics, blowing stuff up, ghost stories and playing darts, playing dodgeball.

DISLIKES: the word "irregardless", meatheads, racist/sexist/homophobes, george bush and the current administration. anyone who tries to force their religious beliefs on you, hippie-nazis, apathy, punk rock fashionistas, insincerity. I also hate spammers and myspace "friend" collectors. Bitch, please.

DON'T TRY TO ADD ME TO YOUR "FRIENDS" LIST UNLESS YOU KNOW ME, OR HAVE THE INTENTION OF GETTING TO KNOW ME FOR REAL.

Oh, yes, and i disklike most of you out there. Have a nice day ;)

This pretty much sums up a lot of my sentiments:

I'd like to meet:

Someone that floors me. The manic, passionate people that make the world tick. I want to meet people that take my breath away.mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" src='' enableJavaScript="false" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" allowScriptAccess="never" style='display:none' AUTOSTART='True'

I'm a netflix addict. I love movies. Especially "thinkers". I'm really into foriegn films at the moments, especially Pedro Almodovar's flicks, and I love dark stuff.

For brainless entertainment I love vampires and witches and werewolves and zombies. Show me a zombie flick, and I'll show you a movie I have to love.

The current movie-loves list:Shortbus, Sin City, Princess Bride, Lost Boys, Nightmare Before Christmas, Motorcycle Diaries, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Talk to her, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Man Bites Dog, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, Secretary, Dogma, Wedding Singer, Machinist, X-men, Spiderman/2, Pirates of the Carribean/2, The first Matrix, Dogville, Spirited Away, ALL the Harry Potters.

My favorite directors of the moment are John Waters (king of kitch), Pedro Almodovar, Tim Burton, and Baz Luhrmann.

Television:

We don't have TV in our house.

Books:

THE NON-FIC LIST: Backlash by Susan Faludi, Bitch by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Gayle Rubin, Adrienne Rich...

Heroes:

Be your own hero.
You are the Devil card. The Devil is based on the
figure Pan, Lord of the Dance. The earthy
physicality of the devil breeds lust. The
devil's call to return to primal instincts
often creates conflict in a society in which
many of these instincts must be kept under
control. Challenges posed by our physical
bodies can be overcome by strength in the
mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Pan is
also a symbol of enjoyment and rules our
material creativity. The devil knows physical
pleasure and how to manipulate the physical
world. Material creativity finds its output in
such things as dance, pottery, gardening, and
sex. The self-actualized person is able to
accept the sensuality and usefulness of the
devil's gifts while remaining in control of any
darker urges. Image from The Stone Tarot deck.
