About Me

My parents let a biker teach me how to tie my shoes. As a result I don't tie my shoes quite like everyone else. He also told me he would cut off my ears if I didn't quit sucking my thumb. I used to stand at the bathroom mirror and picture my ears in the sink all bloody. I quit sucking my thumb right quick. My nose really is hollow at the tip. I promise you. Squeeze it if you don't believe me. I make really good samiches. I don't eat meat. I have a thing for squirrels. I can turn my feet almost all the way around. I like dance parties. I have four cats. I look just like my mother. I broke my left leg twice and sprained my left ankle all within my third year. I like to take pictures of myself and other things too. I have not been to enough far away places. I'm allergic to soap. I used to have a pin that I ordered from Teen Beat that said I 3 Ralph Macchio. I have human and feline teeth in my desk drawer. I have a pretty impressive pyrex collection. I tend to be wordy.

My Interests

i like to cook. i like to read. i like to write. i like to play texas holdem. i like to drink. i like to smoke. i like sad music. i like meaningful bunches of words. i like my cats except for when they throw up, which is kind of a lot. i used to drink apple juice and eat cheerios every morning when i was little. i had an imaginary friend named tommy. i would make my mom give him apple juice and cheerios too. then i ate them.

I'd like to meet:

Bob Barker is retiring so it is now my mission to meet him on the stage of The Price is Right or come on down as my pop-pop used to call it. And also the bear in Borat

Music:

As a child I listened to what my parents listened to and I liked it. I remember my Mom tapping her rings on the steering wheel to Eagles songs and I thought someday I’d tap my ringed fingers on the steering wheel just like her. Then MTV came along and I fell in love with Pat Benatar and bought my very first tape. Luckily my brother is nine years older than me and even though I had some missteps with bubblegum music I was loving hair metal, punk, goth, etc. by the age of ten. Then came middle school and I of course discovered classic rock thanks to my best friend. By ninth grade I fell into the whole grunge thing and then met some cool kids that introduced me to what I suppose is indie/punk rock. I was introduced to Jawbreaker, Screeching Weasel, Fugazi, etc. I started going to shows. I loved it. Later on my friend Heather introduced me to even more. Nowadays I don’t quite understand all of the genres and I’m sort of in a musical rut with a new band popping into my musical rotation every now and again thanks to the steves and the spano and the bill in my life. My favoritist bands ever are Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, Archers of Loaf, The Cure, Fugazi, Screeching Weasel, Inxs, Bloc Party, The Killers, Pavement, Hot Water Music, The Lemonheads, Flogging Molly, Dashboard Confessional, Nirvana, and I’m a sucker for soundtracks. Figure it out from there.

Movies:

donnie darko, pootie tang, fight club, breakfast club, hedwig and the angry inch, say anything, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the devil's rejects

Television:

my so called life, mr. show, twin peaks, 21 jump street, arrested development, aqua teen and most other adult swim, invader zim, six feet under, my name is earl, the young ones, law and order (any variety with svu being my favorite), lost, heroes, and girly indulgences like america's next top model, project runway and grey's anatomy.

Books:

the weetzie bat series, harry potter books, girl by blake nelson, the virgin suicides, chuck palahniuk books, Penis and Vagina Books, nick hornsby books, david sedaris books. I was reading kornwolf by tristan egolf but it's packed in a box somewhere. i am almost done reading skipping towards gomorrah by dan savage and am also currently obsessed with teen lit by the likes of louise rennison. shut it.

Heroes:

Bob Barker, people that do their dishes.
