God's Own Gogo Girl

About Me

Shit-talking, way too energetic, walking freakshow. Or so I feel a lot of the times. On other days: saviour of the world, sex goddess and future millionaire.

My Interests

Music. Design. Body Modification. Soccer (watching from the couch). Aerobics (actually doing it myself). Art. Colour theory and perception. Energy. Meditation. Japanese Aesthetics. Computers. Girl-scouts. Beauty in all its forms. Cats. Paper fetishist. A lot more that I'll only talk about after we've actually met.

I'd like to meet:

People willing to talk for hours and hours about music :-). People who want to go clubbing with me. People who want to discuss their general views on almost everything.

If I don't know you from real life or you're some incredibly cool band: Please introduce yourself to me by sending a message before asking me to add you.
While we're at it: I'm not the biggest fan of guitars, especially not of guitar solos. If your sound is very guitar-based (and you don't use mainly rhythm guitars), chances are high I will not enjoy it too much.

Nothing personal, just one of my many quirks.

So unless you think there is something I won't be able to resist (vocoder voices! great bass lines! analogue synths galore!), consider not sending a friend request. There is just too much of the awesomeness in the world to explore to waste time (and that means yours as well as mine).

Movies:

All Almodóvar films. Kill Bill. Fast Food Fast Women. In the cut. Memento. Secretary. Vampiros en la Habana. Una novia para David. Bin ich schön? and Keiner liebt mich by German filmmaker Doris Dörrie. I'm horrible when it comes to movies: I know almost no films, confuse all the actors, I forget all the titles and in general want to see only movies no one else wants to see... But I like films, really!

Television:

I don't own one, though I love Simpsons, Futurama and Six Feet Under. Oh, and Pee hooked me on The Office (US). Other than that I'm helpless.

Books:

Margaret Atwood. Jeffrey Eugenides. All sort of cheap crime stories (Fay + Jonathan Kellerman, Elizabeth George, Martha Grimes, Patricia Cornwell). Neil Gaiman. Terry Pratchett. Gioconda Bellí. Charles Baudelaire. John Donne. Rose Ausländer. Sarah Kirsch. John Irving. TC Boyle. Kipling. Rupert Thompson. Gottfried Benn. Irving Welsh.Max Goldt. Susan Sontag. Walter Moers. Heinrich Böll. Graham Greene.

Heroes:

Crass- their intelligent lyrics and justified anger showed me I wasn't the only sane person during my adolescence.

My Blog

A little bit more, a little bit less

I really don't operate well under tension, at least not the kind of tension that is created by ambivalence. I don't mind tight deadlines, huge amounts of work, work that requires a lot of discipline o...

Old age and wisdom

When I was little, one of my favourite songs (which drove my poor parents insane, btw) was Wir werden immer größer, jeden Tag ein Stück, wir werden immer größer, das ist ein Glück (roughly: we are gro...

And I must follow, if I can...

I guess this is one of the times where life offers me the opportunity to learn and grow beyond myself; in this case to grow more patient. I don't know why it angers me so much to still be sick, but wh...

Caught between here and there

The office seems especially tedious today. I hate Jean Nouvel for the architectural crime he committed when planning this building (and I liked the Centre du Monde Arabe so much, what was he thinking?...

A little scary...

I think I'm better off if I stay straight-edge. Not that I'm not enjoying the Codeine experience (loving it, in fact, but I knew I would), but last night while I slept, M. came up the stairs to my bed...

Procrastinating or doing something for the good of the world?

I decided to undertake a herculean task: I will compile CDs of guitar sounds I hate as well as ones I really like. One of the lawyers at work accused me of being an ignorant hate-monger when I told hi...
