I'd like to meet:
I'm going to give you the candy-free version: if your site makes my eyes bleed, crashes my browser or takes 10 minutes to load because you've got 30583035830492304 blinkies and videos and other assorted ballyhoo, I won't go. Or at best, I won't stay. Be kind to the colors, they never did anything to you!
If you're a sweaty middle-aged man camped out at your computer in your mom's basement with a stockpile of cornnuts and Mountain Dew and you have no one on your friends list but three-hundred 19-year-old girls in tube tops, please pull forward. I won't begrudge anyone tits in a tube top, I'm just not interested in being anyone's wank.
If you add me as a friend and I don't recognize your name and you haven't sent me a note, chances are, I'll deny you. It's probably not personal, just drop me a note and let me know who you are and I'll be happy to add you!
Other than that, I'm you're usual ladylike broad, if there is such a thing. I'd love to add you if you give me a reason to; drop me a note! I'm not into adding people to my friends list for the sake of having a million "friends" I don't know, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to new friends. :)
word. (insert appropriate peace gesture here)
Movies:
I like way too many movies to list here and it's a big eclectic mix — I'm kind of a movie junkie (even the bad ones), but among them: Amelie, Sideways, Mean Girls, High Fidelity, The Seven Year Itch, American Beauty, My Life Without Me, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Showgirls (oh, c'mon!),a wide, wide assortment of predictable and cheesy romantic comedies (a.k.a. "Girl Movies" because "Chick Flick" is reserved for period dramas and anything with Ralph Fiennes) and... I don't know. Insert something important and moving here.
Television:
This used to be easy, until they took all the decent shows off the air. Stupid bastards. Let's just pretend they're still on the air, shall we?
Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me, Huff, Queer as Folk and among those still in production, , The L Word, Project Runway, Weeds, and America's Next Top Trainwreck because it's art, imitating life, imitating bulimia on parade. And who wants to miss that?
Books:
Bulletproof Web Design, CSS Mastery, Web Standards Solutions, Fresh Styles for Web Designers, The Zen of CSS Design, Dom ScriptingIs it sad that this is leisure reading?
Heroes:
Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Willis, the woman who designed the Welcome to Las Vegas sign in 1959.My mom was and is my hero. And Hello Kitty. Except she doesn't say much, so she's not very motivating. But she sure is japanese, huh?
