About Me

i am probably one of the most upbeat people that you'll ever meet. my worst fear is to become jaded and negative, and so far i've done well. i am definitely an individual, and i am proud that my group of friends is hyper-eclectic. what else? well, look around. i don't have much to hide...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I thought Party Monster SUCKED. oh, and like my dear sister Amber , I hate John Mayer. If you agree, we might just hit it off.

Music:

blur, no doubt, kylie, scissor sisters, metric, supergrass, sugababes, the sounds, annie, franz ferdinand, peaches, goldfrapp, the pipettes, the feeling, lily allen, garbage, elastica, super furry animals, travis, the strokes, fiona apple, the features, the faint, catatonia, ash, the go-go's... the list is seemingly endless. can you tell i like music?

Movies:

a few i enjoy frequently: the house of yes, heathers, kill bill, drop dead gorgeous, trainspotting, romy + michele, mean girls, welcome to the dollhouse, donnie darko, adventures in babysitting, hairspray, waiting for guffman

Television:

current tv: the daily show, the soup, 30 rock, my name is earl, the office
old faves: twin peaks, ab fab, seinfeld, sex + the city, three's company, friends...

Books:

my friend amy and i started a book club, so i guess that means i'm a word nerd. in the past year or so my favorites include the time traveler's wife (audrey niffenegger), i am not myself these days (josh kilmer-purcell), atonement (ian mcewan), and running with scissors (augusten burroughs).

Heroes:

gwen stefani and margaret cho. even though they hate each other.
