Have you ever had one of those nights when you wake up three days later...?

About Me

I am a professional nerd (i.e. graduate student) majoring in cultural psychology, but on the upside, I now live in southern California, which means that no matter where you are as your reading this, the weather's better here (there's a logical fallacy in the above statement, but I'll leave it to you to discover. I'm not a fan of Nazi's, Ossama Bin Ladin, or blowing up the president (everyone ignore this part, it's just to keep the NSA and FBI on their toes). I have a wide array of interests, including pretending I'm gothier than everyone else (which is pretty damn easy in the SoCal), single malts and pinots, reading obscure books and watching even more obscure movies (Barn of the Blood Llama, anyone?), and road tripping. I also enjoy the occassional hallucinagenic substance, but who doesn't. And another thing....
