About Me


Myspace Layout Generator by TheMyspaceLayout.com
- an amazing postcard from the beautiful and always lovely Caitlin Morrison - the best former roommate a girl could ask for.
I am who i am. I dont believe in having a "front". I just am.. Alex. my main philosophy is - if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? aka... if one feels the desire to scottish dance on the dance floor.. wear a clown suit to a concert... sing loudly out a car window to a really bad song... do the electric slide to "I'd Do Anything For Love" by Meatloaf, don a fake pair of glasses w/ an attached mustache for a day, admit they still kinda like Wannabe by the Spice Girls, and so on and so on and soooooo on.... then i think absolutely nothing should hold them back from doing just that. :-) --- If you haven't made an ass of yourself and laughed it off - you haven't lived.
i'm an editing and concert junkie

other things you should probably know about me:
queer theory is my life.
i'm really scared of mice.
i'm very indecisive.
I double bow my shoe laces.
i'm a really bad speller
I h8 wHeN pEOplE tyPe liKE tHiS- dOnt U? i don't want to decode what you're trying to say - it just frustrates me.
I play a lot of pool - but i don't seem to win very often.

i'm known far and wide as a "flannel dyke".
I'm originally from the states, but am studying abroad in Sydney for a year. (though i wish more than anything it was for longer)
also, the fact that these kind of things exist in the world, make me very happy:
oh my god. shoes.
