Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Orange Silk

My Interests

Crochet. Dancing. Running. Documentary films. Indie rock. Fashion I can't afford. Pretending I'm a grown up. Saying "I'm going to really clean out my apartment" and only actually parting with a single item.

I'd like to meet:

People with hearts of gold who party like rock stars. Crocheters with an appreciation for the granny square. Folks who enjoy good long Saturday runs. Those with a wry appreciation for the ridiculousness of life, individuals who laugh more than they mope, and those who are known to get the dance party started.

Music:

Changes by week. Vampire Weekend, Tokyo Police Club, LCD Soundsystem, Nitro Tokyo, Morningwood, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Kaiser Chiefs, the Editors, the Decemberists, Goldfrapp, Darkest Hour, The Aquarium, Ladytron, Laura Viers, Franz Ferdinand, Gorillaz, Fatboy Slim, Nine Inch Nails, Minor Threat, OutKast, TV On the Radio, Dangermouse, Gnarls Barkley, Sean Paul, Luscious Jackson, Interpol, Sunset Rubdown, Bittersweet, anything that keeps me running.

Movies:

Documentaries, duh.

Television:

I very specifically only enjoy shows with high production value and cheap thrills.

Books:

The Great Big Book of Needlework. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky Men: Evolutionary and Life History by Richard Bribiescas -

Heroes:

Anyone who manages to convince me they are an adult for more than 10 minutes. Moms and Dads. People who actually save for their retirement.
