They say I ate my father. But I didn't.

About Me

ATTENTION BANDS:
I am for hire as a concert/general band photographer. So if you need promotional live shots, I'm your woman.
My base rate is $20/hour, including the time to take the shots as well as time spent on Photoshop resizing and touching up. If you want actual prints, I can give you large-size .pdf files to have prints made yourself, as I do not have a printshop yet. I consider this rate fair, as money earned grants me the ability to upgrade equipment, which allows for better photos down the road.
I'm generally only working in the greater Baltimore area as of now; if you give me an offer I cannot refuse farther away, however, I may make exceptions.
So look through my gallery at DeviantART , if you like the kind of shots I have up then feel free to email me at mricks (at) gmail (dot) com; keep in mind that I do work full-time during normal business hours.
-Xeni
As of late, my mind has been in some dark places. But then some dark things have been happening. Graduated college, working full-time, being an adult.
I'm a Scorpio, and while my Atheist mindset tells me that there is nothing to that, well just spend some time with me and tell me what YOU think. My favourite TV show (when I actually WATCH tv like once a month) is Queer as Folk, my favourite band right now is both Therion and Dimmu Borgir, and my favourite game always is World of Warcraft.
I want more tattoos, but have no money. I want more piercings, but can't think of any good places. I read fantasy and sci-fi novels. I'm a moderate liberal. I have a fucked-up family. I recently moved into an apartment in Baltimore city with my brother and hope to actually meet some new people besides my close-knit group of friends.
I've been led on and dumped more times this past year than possibly the rest of my life. Due to this, I am a horribly bitter, depressed individual who cannot trust anybody. (OK, I wrote the above paragraph about 6 months ago; while it is still somewhat true, I have lightened up a bit.)
Why did I write so much about myself on here? Well, I guess I got carried away, and there's prolly a hell of a lot more about me that I didn't include, cause this is the fucking internet.
Here are some links of interest, and by of interest I mean they pertain to me:
DeviantART Gallery
My Image Server
Livejournal

That's right, I'm on YouTube, Bitches!

My Interests

goth/rivet culture, art, photography, hair extensions, feminism, computers, hairdye, Mountain Dew, Camel cigarettes, intellect, World of Warcraft.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who likes to have long conversations about important topics instead of just which baseball team won whichever game the night before. Musicians, artists, singers, dancers all appeal to me. People who are gregarious and open with their feelings.

Movies:

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, Lost in Translation, K-Pax, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Anything recent with Bill Murray in it.

Television:

Wonder Showzen, The Mighty Boosh, Upright Citizens Brigade, Metalocalypse, any of the Discovery channels, Nip/Tuck, Scrubs.

Books:

any fantasy or satirical; Terry Pratchett fits into both categories.

Heroes:

Jon Stewart, Bill Hicks, David Jaffe, David LaChapelle.

Sigh, things are falling apart. Can't be happy in any relationship I find, and anyone that I do find myself gravitating towards doesn't feel the same way about me. Guess I should focus all of my energ...
