My Interests

being in the nook. shaking it like a polaroid picture. the hustler store. kisses on my forehead. yellow blanket. the sand between my toes. cruising with all the windows and sunroof open in the jetta. the giant sundial. stilletos. playing in the rain. halloween. catching snowflakes on my tongue. rockin' out with no cares and all the confidence in the world.

I'd like to meet:

a giant talking puffer fish who is best friends with a penguin.

Music:

weakerthans, the streets, death cab for cutie, otis redding, aqualung, ani difranco, mos def, portishead, jeff buckley, bright eyes, the beastie boys, snow patrol, that damn britney spears song i can't get out of my head, kanye west, the required shout out for less than jake, damien rice, atmosphere, no doubt, the postal service, blondie, fallout boy, the pixies...

Movies:

breakfast at tiffanys, trainspotting, everything is illuminated, high fidelity, clueless, goodbye lenin, big fish, chorus line, mean girls, the way we were, boondock saints, say anything...
