About Me

Someone I met this past weekend is starting a circus troupe out of New Orleans, and I might just drop everything and move there. I go by many different names (like the devil). Sometimes I'm just referred to as "that girl who did that one thing". I'm that friend of a friend you've been hearing about, and are dying to meet. I mispronounce EVERYTHING. When I hear my voice on tape, I get kind of annoyed. I'm just another disillusioned twenty-something. I drink too much coffee. I smoke too many cigarettes. If you are constantly on a diet and/or can't leave your house without makeup, we will never be friends. I think that the accordion and the stand-up bass are sexy, sexy instruments. I used to tell people I was Clara Bow's reincarnate when I was in high school. In junior high I thought I was really clever because at every birthday party I would sing the Hole lyrics "I want to be the girl with the most cake...", and laughed at my own joke every damn time. In college, my nickname was "Fireball" because I had BRIGHT red hair, smoked a ton of cigs and herb, and was sassy to boot. I think Henry Rollins is a sexy motherfucker, which is soooo wrong, and at the same time so right. I constantly make "to do" lists. I bite off more than I can chew. I'm way too sensitive for my own good. I like the music in Bollywood films, but if the song is over five minutes, I start to get antsy. My left hand always has writing on it. I am a feminist, and much of my life/work reflects this. I love to laugh. If you are an elitist asshole, we will have some words. I lived in Amsterdam for a brief period. I pick my food apart before I eat it. I really wish I was fluent in a language other than my native English. I need to stop dating people I meet in bars. I have recently become a firm believer in the benefits of eating breakfast. I cannot balance a checkbook to save my life. PJ Harvey writes the soundtrack to my life. I'm working to stop complaining so much and start doing something about it.I think the real reason I'm on here is so that 10 years from now when VH1 airs "I Love the 00's" and the topic of MySpace comes up, I can turn to the person next to me and say "Omigod, I was so on there", and get really excited like I do now when they bring up slap bracelets.

why didn't anyone tell me?

I am 37% Metal Head...Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts...
