About Me

I'm a huge nerd, into most of the typical nerdy things. I live in Richmond, KY. I go to EKU. I am studying to be an English teacher. I have been a vegetarian for close to 7 years. I'd be vegan if I had more willpower. My friends are my lifeblood. I really like comics. Neil Gaiman is my hero. Alan Moore is pretty awesome. So is Frank Miller. Low quality doityourself recordings make me happy. Emily Dickinson makes me happy. I have a lot of boredom issues lately. Someone make it stop. Read Ishmael. It will make you think, and thinking is good. I have taken to writing really bad poetry. I can turn things into molten lava.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Creation is built upon the promise of hope, that things will get better, that tomorrow will be better than the day before.
But it's not true. Cities collapse. Populations expand. Environments decay. People get ruder. You can't go to a movie without getting in a fight with the guy in the third row who won't shut up.
Filthy streets. Drive-by shootings. Irradiated corn. Permissible amounts of rat-droppings per hot dog. Bomb blasts, and body counts. Terror in the streets, on camera, in your living room. Aids and Ebola and Hepatitis B and you can't touch anyone because you're afraid you'll catch something besides love and nothing tastes as good anymore and Christopher Reeve is [dead] and love is statistically false.
Pocket nukes and subway anthrax. You grow up frustrated, you live confused, you age frightened, you die alone. Safe terrain moves from your city to your block to your yard to your home to your living room to the bedroom and all you want is to be allowed to live without somebody breaking in to steal your tv and shove an ice-pick in your ear.
That sound like a better world to you? That sound to you like a promise kept?" --J Michael Straczynski, Midnight Nations
