art is why I get up in the morning

About Me

I like adventures. I love art, especially photography, and animals, especially dogs. I am obsessed with bicycles. I am working on a problem with run on sentences and dependent and independent clauses and subclauses. Varying sentence structure comes next. But my new year's resolution is to break down self improvement into managable pieces. Or something. Ask Mo. She handles my schedule.

My Interests

bikes, photography, new media, video, cooking, queer, feminist, gender, and postmodern art theory, writing that uses unecessary five syllable words, and writing that could but doesn't, activist academics, puppies, music, movies, hockey, bud light, fat tire, road trips, staying at home

I'd like to meet:

I like people who like to learn about shit and figure out how it works. I really don't like people who think they're too cool to admit they watched Saved by the Bell when they were little. I need biking and snowboarding buddies, art buddies, music buddies. And puppies.

Music:

op ivy, rancid, blink 182, alkaline trio, millencolin, mxpx, saves the day, new found glory, sleater kinney, the butchies, tegan and sara, the clash, the pixies, depeche mode, new order, joy division, suicide machines, le tigre, ani, melissa ferrick, tribe, jurassic 5, public enemy, the roots, lots of country

Movies:

bound (sorry), high art, point break, a league of their own, mallrats, Indiana Jones, but I'm a cheerleader

Television:

Saved by the Bell, Party of Five, My So-Called Life (don't pretend like YOU were never a teen-ager), Real World (admittedly some more than others), John Stewart, Lost, Bones, America's Next Top Model, Battlestar Gallactica, One Tree Hill. And of COURSE Joss Whedon

Books:

To Kill a Mockingbird, Written on the Body, David Eddings, Winnogrand, Davidson, Eggleston, Adams, isn't this an unfair question to ask a grad student?

Heroes:

Tom Boonen...
