Anyone else who can put up with my geeky (and somewhat random) self. I procrastinate, I obsess over stupid stuff, I make mistakes, I love to read, write, cook and play games, but hate math. I could stand to be more motivated and organized, but love to work when it really gets down to it. I love to make friends but I suck at keeping in touch. I'm trying to get better at all of it.

Music:


I am a music addict. I couldn’t possibly list all the music I like here…you’d be reading forever. Here are a few that come to mind:

80's Music, Alex Senecal, Audioslave, Alternative, B.B.King, Ben Harper, Blues, Bowie, Cake, Classic Rock, Classical, Cowboy Junkies, Dave Matthews Band, Dead Can Dance, Deep Forest, Dj Seles, Fiona Apple, Guns & Roses, Gypsy Kings, Heavy Metal, Hendrix, Jack Johnson, Johnny Cash, Nine Inch Nails, Norah Jones, Paul Oakenfold, Perfect Circle, Pink Floyd, Prince, Rabbit In The Moon, Reggae, Seether, Steve Miller, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Techno, Tool, Train, White Zombie

Movies:


Once again, there are far too many to name—I add them as I remember.
Adam Sandler, Alice in Wonderland, A Man on Fire, Anime, Batman (mostly the Burton ones & Batman Begins), Billy Madison, Dracula, Dune, Emporor's New Groove, Fight Club, Four Rooms, Gladiator, the Goonies, Hannibal, Harry Potter, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Horror, Hostel, Interview With the Vampire (NOT Queen of the Damned), Little Nicky, the Lost Boys, Man in the Iron Mask, Meet the Feebles (not for the faint-of heart), Monty Python, the Muppets, Nightmare Before Christmas, Oliver Stone, O’ Brother, Where art Thou?, Princess Bride, Serenity, Silence of the Lambs, the Red Dragon, Reservoir Dogs, Resident Evil, Robin Hood (most of them), Robert Rodriguez, The Rock, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Saving Grace, Science Fiction, Shawn of the Dead, Slither, Snatch, Spider Man, Star Wars, Tarantino, the Three Musketeers, Tim Burton, Wallace & Gromit, What the Bleep Do We Know, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the original Wicker Man, X-Men

Books:


What’s with asking me things that take too much space to list? I mean really now, you don’t want me to list all the books in my house. They’ve already outgrown 3 bookshelves and have to live in boxes.
By no means is this a comprehensive list.


Anne Rice, cookbooks, Cyberpunk 2020, Discworld, Douglas Adams, Dune, Frank Herbert, Good Omens, Harry Potter, History (fiction & non), Hunter S. Thompson, Joseph Campbell, Mage: the Ascension, Melanie Rawn, Neil Gaiman, Richard Bach, Shakespeare, Stephen Hawking, Stephen King, the Sandman Series, Theology, Robert Jordan, Robin Hobb, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Terry Pratchett, White Wolf

My favorite icons by: Andraste-icons , Dwight's Red Icons & Cherry Red Icons
over at Live Journal.
I only combined them into animated gifs to save room on my page.
(I added the 'special hell' one to the Firefly quotes--see more of my own crappy icons in my journals.) This profile was created by me, with a little help from a lot of artists. Naturally, the art is the property of the credited artists and/or companies. (Disney, E.A.Games, Fox & Universal, just to name a few.)
PEOPLE WHO STEAL GRAPHICS WITHOUT CREDITING SUCK VERY MUCH BAD!
