About Me

i am chronologically older than i feel. i fall in and out of touch with people sometimes and it is usually my fault, but it's never intentional. i love my friends fiercely. i think almost anything is funny. except when it is not, unless it really is.

My Interests

Laughing loudly at inappropriate times, playing with my cats, daydreaming world domination. Mexico. Planning parties or other peoples weddings, or my own wedding all over again or replanning parties that i have already planned but will never actually throw. i love the outdoors and never spend enough time there. I am also interested in finding out how the motor cortex of the brain rewires itself following amputation. learning to knit, brushing up on my spanish. working on my dark side.

I'd like to meet:

people i have fallen out of touch with and the guy who writes thesuperficial.com and iwatchstuff.com - he is hilarious.

Music:

i like almost all music. lately i especially like 80s freestyle and 60's rock-pop. And music my friends make. And death metal. and girl rock. and everything in between. But not math rock. it's just too much.

Movies:

Rushmore, Pee-Wee's big adventure, eternal sunshine, Favela Rising, Amores Peros, super size me, winged migration, pretty in pink, weird science, slums of beverly hills, welcome to the dollhouse....

Television:

arrested development, come on! i like most reality shows- mostly because i think "what is wrong with these people?" or "i wonder how long i would last how long before i would get kicked off?"

Books:

i like dark comedies- filth. marabou stork nightmares. geek love. stiff. invisible monsters. the corrections. king dork. textbooks. cookbooks. fitness books. i also like Harry Potter, and lately i have been reading about food- how the government mediates what we eat- the politics of food.

Heroes:

people who exceed their potential
