I am not a tourist.

About Me


I love humans in animal costumes; no I can't explain why, I just do. I am also interested in cartography.
Also, I'd like you to take a look at this. Around one minute, eleven, I implore you to tell me you've ever seen moves like that before:

My Interests

.. Long distance relationships, men with beards, letter writing, forgiveness, good communications, honesty, kindness, coffee, seeing my best friends in person, humility, fast internet connections, MSN messanger games, having crushes on people, places and things, feeling safe, simple pleasures, having someone put in some effort, open minds, understanding the importance of being still, white wine, campfires, laughing until it hurts, hookah pipes, a good bed, affectionate people, having people say what they mean and mean what they say.

I'd like to meet:

Tom Waits; so he could tell me a story, and someone who will write me a letter back.
Frances Stark
Marcel Dzama
Neil Farber
Maurizio Cattelan
I'd also really like to find a guy that dresses like this so I could hold his hand.
"...and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”" -JK

Music:

.. Tom Wait, Elliott Smith, Sigur Ros, Beirut; the music of Parisan cafes, ukeleles, accordions, pianos, xylophones and the human voice. I like anything that's a soundtrack to a good time; I am not a musical fascist.

Movies:

.. The ones that trigger extremes in me.

MOVIES I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT LIKE: Donnie Darko, American Beauty, and Sideways.

Television:

.. The Office (I'm going to have to go with the uncool version to like: the American one) The Mighty Boosh, Nathan Barley. and My So-Called Life; they just don't make 'em like that anymore, do they?

Books:

.. Second hand books.

Heroes:

.. Those who are kind and conscientious.
"I prefer the good to the bad, the articulate to the mumbling, the aesthetically developed to the merely primitive, and full to partial consciousness." -RH

blast from the past

I just found all but one of my high school crushes on MySpace. Turns out, two of them are still really attractive... and one of them is still single. I can't WAIT for the reunions... ;)
