About Me


follow carrotcakesoup at http://twitter.com I collect mugs from garage sales. I drink tea by the gallon. I love to sing, and no one's told me I suck yet. I'm a technophile. I can crochet, sew, knit, and do generally crafty things. I love art. But not all art. I love to read fiction. I love design. I love to go into high end retail stores and talk loudly about child labor and statistics relating to world hunger. I love buying couches at Salvo. I like computer programing. I'm a feminist (there's a million different varieties of feminism, don't stereotype or assume you know what I think). My goal in life is to do things I can respect myself for. I have horrible mood swings when I'm hungry. I'm an introverted social butterfly. I try to use the cute factor of the fact that I look at least 5 years younger than I am while proving that I'm tough as nails. I'm flaky as all hell. I've pretty much got zero money. I am easily influenced by good ideas. I like to have fun, but who doesn't, really?

My Interests

reading, music, movies, art, computers, web design, vintage clothes, digital photography, programing, webcomics, playing with my kitten, baking, singing, practicing guitar, snowboarding

I'd like to meet:

Invade My Privacy! No, seriously. I'm increasing my virtual presence by posting a "webcam" of screenshots of my desktop online. It updates every 20 seconds whenever I am on my computer. Watch me browse porn, watch movies, check my email, do work, IM people, buy stuff online, etc. It might be pretty interesting sometimes. If you do check it out, talk to me about it! It's a project of sorts to inspire me to be aware of what I do on the computer, my online presence, and just how much people care about the private information that the information age makes available about all of us. The link is http://www.thedesktopproject.phoebeart.com Have fun with this, and let me know what you think about the project and about me, now that you have the chance to find out more than you probably care to know. There's a forum where you can do so. You should sign up.My website My AIM screen name: carotsoup My email: [email protected]

Music:

In general, anything I can sing along to. Mostly mellow indie rock stuff.

Movies:

Amelie, anything with Marylin Monroe, Donnie Darko, The Royal Tennenbaums, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (old ones, not the new ones so much), musicals in general(my fair lady is my favorite), anything Johnny Depp is in, The Matrix, The Breakfast Club, Mary Poppins, The Gods Must be Crazy, Breakfast at Tiffany's, White Oleander, Snatch, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Clerks...

Television:

I watch channel five with the sound off and the color messed up on purpose on a tiny zenith I got off the side of the road. I also watch Grey's Anatomy online and download the L word and Battlestar Galactica.

Books:

Calvin and Hobbes should be required reading. I can't even begin to list books, I've read hundreds of wonderful ones. I devour books, 100 pages in an hour, but then I forget them.

Heroes:

Calvin, gypsies (the real ones), and rich bitches from the twenties.

My Blog

"thought of the day"

today's thought is: At first love is about expectations, promise, and potential. Then it's about itself. Then it's about maintaining illusions at all costs.
