About Me

Fiona Apple rules Everyone else's goal is to get big-headed
why should i follow that beat being that i'm
feelin' just fine? ~Fiona Apple hi, I'm Halli. i'm 19 years old. i LOVE Fiona Apple. she's my current heroine...oh and i'm from New York. for some reason it's unwilling to say this on my profile. that Laura Linney profile that you see a few icons below i made myself :)
i'm the type of person who would rather create, get out there and do something
than have fun..and not be aware of my existence..
i like having fun too though.. i'm just extremely confused about the current state of my life. i'm watching lots of movies to distract myself, and am recording some music too..
i really do love aimee mann. and i love Fiona Apple- a lot right now. even if i'm missed her concerts. she rockss. i love wayy too many actors to name, movies have been my life lately, since it's summer. Laura Linney rocks, esp because she is a Mann fan! i'm currently working on a "Carbon Monoxide" cover by Regina Spektor; it's happier than anything i could ever write and it has that whole summery feeling to it..i use music & writing to fulfill my path in life..it doesn't really mean i need to succeed in them, but it's something i have to do/participate in. they're the main thing i care about. that and activism/liberal issues. i get fiery & passionate when debating these things (in a good way.) i'm currently obsessed with.. film soundtracks.. i love how a piece of music can frame an entire film/story- it's fascinating to me.
i like writing, music, my friends, and movies. i have found that romance hasn't done me much good, yet i enjoy listening to my favorite artists sing about loneliness for some reason. and..i like drawing and painting and photography and playing piano. someday i'd like to learn abt filmmaking, as well, i have been so into movies lately. let's see, i have just become single again and am looking for someone...but that doesn't mean i am truly interested. i am very very introverted and when i try not to be, i just become more & more introverted. i do best when i am on tasks by myself. i don't really find this to be a problem, except when i get those waves of loneliness or things i feel around large groups of people- when they're strangers, it's almost better..
my goal is to just be myself. so many people put on facades every day, including the people who used to be my friends. but my friends now- are very dear to me. i am just tired of the fakeness... the least i can contribute to this messed up crazy world is something real. though i do have to fake it sometimes

are we ultimately alone? inspired by 'save me'

all my favorite singers sing about feeling alone? why is this--it's the human condition, pre-supposedly. yet..since our existence..we've made friendships, and by nature 'family'.. other wa...

why is tv so awful these days? i'd rather ramble about singers.

of course, this is subjective. a lot of people enjoy Tv (including my brother, sometimes my parents..) but the only show i can bare to watch honestly is the Simpsons..and that is a cartoon...

I suppose it's songs, specificially. I'm constantly thinking about ideas anyway. Even if, the same ones.. I'll take a lyric, and compare it with another one. And find another one to compar...

in depth analysis of Aimee Mann's frankenstein(aka i'd rather be on the computer than w/people)
