I am here for Friends

About Me

So I'm learning how to settle down crying babies, and how to keep milk stains off my shirt. Imogen's awesome. Cos she's mine. Well, Billy helped too.

My Interests

red heart acrylic yarn that squeaks when you work it. snow cones with ice cream smooshed into it. really great song lyrics written to the "you's" in our life. good makeup that does what it's supposed to do without trying too hard. reading the same book all day long without stopping. having Sunday off. people that spell words out in text messages, even though it takes them days to type it out. additionally, people that spell correctly. and choose to do so without fail.

I'd like to meet:

I already have, sucka.

Music:

ani..ani..ani difranco, minus the bear, distillers, beck, liz phair (but only the old, non-poppy liz phair), janis joplin, prince, the commodores, faith no more, me'shell ndegeocello, L7, emiliana torrini, siouxsie and the banshees, david grey, cat power, yeah yeah yeahs, third eye blind (this one, I'm not very proud of) portishead, janis ian, old old old michael jackson, beastie boys, violent femmes, sonic youth, tori amos (I'm sorry, I'm a girl!) massive attack, bjork, morcheeba, the breeders, beth orton, p.j. harvey, zeppelin (is that even spelled right?), fiona apple, elliot smith, nick drake, the shins rolling stones, elefant, bloc party, frou frou/imojen heap, postal service/death cab, tricky, peaches, le tigre, counting crows, blind melon, modeski martin and wood, and the sweetly endearing sounds of my boyfriend being choked to death if he doesn't stop snoring.
