About Me

Goals are more important than identity. But then this is an individualistic rather than a communal culture in which we live. Comrades, we need an ourspace.

"Proliksa? Vi devas rigardi mian edzinon!"
"Sxi ne estas turgxida, sxi estas mia frato!"

"All these songs are aimed at your children!" -C. Reynolds, in reference to Mr. T's 1984 album 'Commandments'
"I wish that the band 'Mindless Self Indulgence' had never existed and that that was what the internet was called." -Rud Miller
"You've got your hoo, you've got your hah. They come together. It's dialectical." -Adam Ritscher
"Supply side economics never looked so good." -H
"The vocabulary required for work-related conversations can be reduced to about thirty-five words." -Igor
"It's like if Nerf made pharmaceuticals." -Brecca
"It's a college movie!" -Lucas and Rose
"If I had a nickel for every time someone went for my feet, I wouldn't have had toast for dinner." -Benbo B. Rhodie
"That's the last time I stick anything in you." -Walt Dizzo
"I feel I've been party to a terrible oxymoron." -drunk Centerfolds' patron

Why all these quotations by others in your "About me" section, Rose? It's because if I have seen further.. heh.

"Dude. Guy likes tea. Must be a hipster."
"3.40am. Drinkin' tea and pettin' cats."
The above can be attributed to Garrett. The former is reductio ad absurdum. The latter was just a good time. A syllogism constructed thereof would be me making fun of Garrett.

1. Once, you may have known me as that quiet girl often spotted from car windows wandering on foot towards the public library.

2. Then, you may have known me as the tactlessly drunk woman in the Luce bar who, through one angle or another, made your girlfriend very uncomfortable.

3. Currently, I try to grab my take-out box and dart inconspicuously out of your peripheral vision and into the ill-lit corner where I scrawl rapidly and meaninglessly in a tiny notebook.

The only statement that my fashion conveys is that I don't have the wherewithal to dress myself properly. If I am ever to become successful, it may ironically be through my ability to experience and appeal to ubiquitous sensations of helplessness, impotence, and ineffectuality.

Yeah. That's about it. I largely don't plan on using myspace. I am content with flork for all my frivolous ephemeral internet interaction needs. Yes, I do know some esteemably redeemable people with myspace accounts, but I already have the privilage of interacting with them in the material world.

If you care to learn more about my personal characteristics for some inexplicable reason, you can go there: obligatory recreational preferences and more!

Or visit < a href="http://www.geocities.com/howtogrowgods" >< u >yet one more< /u >< /a > poorly-executed HTML page upon which I have refused to make simple alterations for the last several years. Update: Not NEW but slightly IMPROVED! (ie. You can now make sense of the text.. or at least read it.. in your browser window.) Which begs pause as to what it looked like before.

Facebook too, though currently I check it about once a semester. I will use the unlimited photo feature to display every image I have of myself drinking on the beach, passing out on a pool table, or freaking my sorority sisters on the Stargate dancefloor for attention.

Myspace is hearty, self-referential fun. It's useful for tracking down phone numbers and starting non sequitur rumors. Do you know about Chris Reynold's partiality for underage coworkers? Now before you jump to condemn him for using his seniority for coercive purposes, consider that perhaps we should all applaud Chris for pushing the envelope and exploring what is generally deemed an unconventional, perverse, exploitive lifestyle. How's that working out for you, Chris?
What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



As far as altercations with the nonexistent go, there is a fine line between creativity and insanity. Agreed?

I recently met the winter sky, anthropomorphized. If you happen to be the summer sky anthropomorphized, or are the animistic spirit or other humanoid equivalent of the firmament of any season, I would be very interested in meeting you. Moreso if you are zoomorphic, exceedingly should you be phytomorphic, but nonetheless are capable of reading this and responding adequately.

Mayhaps I come across here as being, if not hostile, dismissive. I'm actually a pretty nice person. You are no affront to me I would assume. Most humans exhibit some laudable feature. I would probably talk to you.

To everyone who has sent me or is considering sending me an invitation: Please send me a note first! I am not going to add you unless I am convinced you are someone who won't send me long tirades about your pedestrian teenage angst (non-pedestrian teen angst, however, is always appreciated) or super-secret-magic-love-quizzes or the like. (Unless they are actually super and magic, the existence of which has yet to be proven.) And of course, if you have any information that might lead to me contacting a love so long lost I am no longer aware that it existed and then paying $3.99/minute to view its web cam, please don't hesitate. I will add you immediately and purchase all of your fine products for the enhancement of physical features I don't own.

Please introduce me to more tattooed leftist nerds who shoot guns.
