I am here for Friends

About Me

I like stuff. And things. And people. And things with people, but not necessarily people with things and stuff. Or stuff with people, 'cause that just seems weird.I am oddly obsessed with the circus and circus folk. Not sure where this came from. And not that Ringling Bros stuff. Like the cool traveling museum, elixir-ridden, oddity shows. With fire. Fire rocks.I work as a graphic designer, so I love all things arty and creative. Art history and photography being my favorites. Yet, I can’t draw to save my life. OK, I can draw some mean stick figures and can do some pretty sweet battle scenes with matchbook covers and club flyers. But that isn't really drawing, so scratch that. I am still confused on how I made it through art school not being able to draw. That will forever remain a mystery.

My Interests

Music, photography, art, design, trashy gossip magazines, kayaks, lakes and other bodies of water, music, world domination, hair products, going to shows, music, my insane cat that seems to think he is a tree frog. Did I mention music?

People that are interesting. People that are creative. People that are spontaneous and unpretentious. People that don't tell me pink is the new black. TV infomercial actors and circus clowns. More friends to fit into my neat little friend box. Ballet dancers. ESPECIALLY hot guys that wear bunny ears. Anyone interested in world domination, as that never goes out of style.

Great.

Maroon 5's stupid and lame song is listed as #1 on itunes right now. It is good to know that the majority of the US has no taste in music.

New Job, Day Two: the Saga Continues
