3 you guys.

About Me

So, I caved in and submitted myself into the vast abyss that is MySpace. {;-p I'm a true nerd (I embrace the inner-geek in me full-heartedly), I hate dishonest/flakey people, I eat more than most of my male friends (so I hate girls who eat like birds), I'm obsessed with my Ipod, I'm an adrenaline junkie, I just need a shot the size of a thimble to get drunk, I'm a pseudo-vegetarian, I love to sleep but I'm an insomniac, my friends call me Monica 'cause I love to cook and basically have OCD, I love animals, I'm fascinated with all types of art, I love taking pictures but don't particularly like being in them, I love to swim and hate to run but I do more of the latter (have to because of my intense affinity for anything remotely edible), I'm a total klutz but the only thing I have broken is my finger (knock on wood), I love to travel and learn about other cultures, I have great admiration for nurses but don't trust doctors, I'm terrified of needles but love piercings/tattoos, I miss volunteering regularly (need to have some hope in humanity), I'm pretty liberal in my thinking but conservative in my actions, and although I feel privileged to have lived here all my life, it's definitely time to move to a commonwealth country (Nathan's working on that one...33!!!). I'm basically a walking paradox, so have fun figuring me out. {;-p

My Interests

I need to find a job that makes me WANT to wake up in the morning, preferably something that manifests the iota of goodness in this world...Any ideas???

I'd like to meet:

Gary Larson, Jamie Oliver (he's the man!) and generally anyone who is not a jack-ass...maybe Bill Bryson (a special thanks to Jas/Andrea for recommending In a Sunburned Country...that book rocks!).

Music:

Radiohead, U2 (my two favs: accentuating my paradoxical nature!), J.E.W., Muse, The Used, Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, Thrice, Coldplay, Alkaline Trio, Deftones, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, A Perfect Circle, Beck, Oasis, Tori Amos, The Wallflowers, Weezer, The Beatles, Blink-182, Chili Peppers, Dashboard, Dave Matthews, Fiona Apple, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Interpol, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Moby, NIN, Phantom Planet, The Postal Service, Death Cab, Silverchair, Third Eye Blind, Snow Patrol, Eskimo Joe, Mellowdrome, The Bravery, Gorillaz, etc. Have to give props to K. Clarkson and Justin T. (my guilty pleasures!). I grew-up on classical music, so I love Bach, Debussy, Mozart, etc. and my fav' Vivaldi (yes, I am a nerd).

Movies:

So many...LOVED Thank You for Smoking...also, Amelie, The Breakfast Club, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine, Rushmore, Silence of the Lambs, Memento, Crouching Tiger, Run Lola Run, The Goonies, Billy Elliott, Donnie Darko, Old School, Back to the Future, The Matrix, Monsters Inc., Requiem for a Dream, The Professional, Office Space, Clueless, Shakespeare in Love, High Fidelity, Finding Nemo, The Godfather, The Joy Luck Club, The Pianist, Election, Pulp Fiction, etc.

Books:

To Kill a Mockingbird (literary perfection!), The Catcher in the Rye, The DaVinci Code, The Hot Zone, Like Water for Chocolate, Of Mice & Men, John Grisham, Michael Crichton and Amy Tan books, any travel books, and (for the inner kid in me) The Red Balloon and Charlotte's Web

Heroes:

Friends who have stuck by me through everything, Aussies/Kiwis (when they go on "holiday," they go all out!), T. Kobayashi (damn, he can eat!) and Ben Goldhirsh/Anderson Cooper - refreshing to see good-looking, wealthy American men out there who are altruistic and not complete selfish jack-asses (I was losing hope there for a while...).
