Alice

Something witty, yet profound.

About Me

The only thing I learned from Hollywood is that true love is everlasting.

My Interests

finding new music, daydreaming, freaking out about the future, jose cuervo, the macabre, hair, live music, patron saints, finding crude concoctions of words, cynicism, vintage bargains i'll wear once, wreckless abandon, entropy, harmless banter, thinking up witty names for my friends, tabasco and chilli in general, monkeys!

I'd like to meet:

A family of limpets.
I'd like to visit their rock and see what they have to say about life. What their government is doing to control the amount of that sea moss stuff that always gathers around them.
It's important not to overlook these kinds of things.

Music:

albert hammond jnr, alkaline trio, ...and you will know us by the trail of our dead, the arcade fire, at the drive in, be your own pet, the beams, black india, bloc party, brendan benson, broken social scene, bruce hornsby & the range, the cold war kids, the cure, the eagles, the faint, heavens, jeff buckley, kings of leon, the kooks, the libertines, the long blondes, mando diao, matt skiba, maximo park, mew, the mochines, muse, ok go, razorlight, ryan adams (all of it. on repeat. all the time), the secret machines, the soledad brothers, stellastarr*, the stills, the strokes, tom mcrae, the travelling wilburys, the verve, white rose movement, young knives, 22-20s

Movies:

Napoleon Dynamite, Royal Tenenbaums, Baraka, Dogville, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Boondock Saints, Natural Born Killers, Elizabethtown, Robin Hood (animated. one sexy fox), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Almost Famous, Shopgirl

Television:

Anyone who says they hate TV just doesn't watch the right shows. Otherwise, they're just being a prat.

Books:

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (literary beauty), The Corrections, Everything is Illuminated and anything by Chuck Palahniuk or Edward Gorey that I can get my mitts on.
