I am here for Friends

About Me

I like: all but two foods (uni and olives), eyeliner (too much, really), swallowing gum (weird, i know), singing real loud (I get better the more I drink, I just know it!), dancing all the time (same as singing), Odwalla bars, ponytails, dogs (better yet, puppies), American Spirits (but they give me oompa loompa fingers if I get anything but ultra lights), bathrobes, flying in airplanes (and the little snacks you get), free samples, pastel colors, nice ink pens, cardstock paper, sea lions and the noises they make, cafe americanos with milk, mint water/tea, dirty jokes (especially with "your mom" as the punchline or about poop), moving at a glacial speed, and as far as the beatles go, I like John better but I listen to Paul's solo stuff way more. My favorite beer is Hoegaarten.I dislike: disliking things, olives, rats (I really, really hate rats), hurrying, people that make other people feel dumb for not knowing something, mosquito bites, and allergies.

My Interests

these days, I like it when the weather is nice and I am going to meet my friends after a long day. And I figure out how to get to where they are all by myself, and its one of those days where being by myself isn't so bad. Actually, its kind of nice and exciting! Then, some really great song will come up on shuffle as I'm getting off the train. I have to hold back from singing as I walk a couple more blocks to where they are. and we'll eat somewhere that I've never eaten before, and they tell me about their adventures and I tell them mine, and when they just give me a hug and ask how I'm doing it means more than it ever has because its right after a long spell of being brave and alone.

I'd like to meet:

people and things that I will one day adore.

Music:

right now, Lou Reed "Coney Island Baby"

Movies:

sexy ones.

so offensive

so being hungover on the subway is terrible.  It's the worst ever!  The other day, I was riding the subway uptown with the worst headache of all time.  I also felt like I was going to v...

i'm house/dog-sitting uptown right now for a beagle named Andy Walter.  I just got back from taking him to Central Park, which was completely secluded.  Jason was sweet enough to let my borr...

your mom.

so, im a little pissed.  I love jokes that have "your mom" as the punchline.  I also love dirty jokes.  The combo here almost always gets me.  I think of perfect times to use "your...

Im not sure why I occasionally find this to be a suitable outlet.  Im also not sure what precisely triggered my need for one today.  Last night we went to dallas to see Hot Chip.  It wa...

An Expert's Guide to Easter Candy

trust me, I know my shit.  I am not going to talk about candy to avoid, because that is actually most of it.  You are wasting your time.  Well, I will mention Peeps, and how gross they ...
