About Me

"I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomaniacal, tactless, volatile, and ofttimes disagreeable... I suppose I'm larger than life."-Bette DavisI wanna be the song that you hear in your head... This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

Writing, painting, fashion, fine wine, beauty products. Rock music. Snorkelling in far-flung locales. Reading on the beach. Meeting people as long as they are not insufferably stupid.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone whose IQ exceeds their body temperature. Anyone who can be right there with me the second I go, wherever I go. You get points for not being scared of my Pee Wee Herman doll.Ultimately, a guy who would like to name our future dog Annyong. This is clearly a man who gets it.And you know, this guy...

Music:

I'm back on the Fleetwood Mac sauce after a 2ish year hiatus. ...and it feels so good. Hello, old friends. Hello, 70s Southern California rock and roll romantic possibility. Also rocking my ass: Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero ("well I used to stand for something...now I'm on my hands and knees..."); The Stones' Shine a Light live album (apparently, I still can't get no satisfaction); Jay-Z's American Gangster; anything by Chris Cornell

Movies:

Waiting For Guffman,Mean Girls,Blow,Pee Wee's Big Adventure,Clueless,Almost Famous,Willy Wonka, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Napoleon Dynamite, Truth or Dare,All About Eve,This Is Spinal Tap, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Royal Tenenbaums,Kissing Jessica Stein, Empire Records, Election, Boogie Nights, Eurotrip

Television:

Scrubs is my new happy place...How I Met Your Mother, Sports Night, Lost, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck (Seasons 1&2 only), Entourage, The Office, Beavis & Butthead, Arrested Development, Queer as Folk, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (pre-Dawn, Michelle Trachtenberg ruined everything)...as you can see, I'm really big on the defunct shows.

Books:

Hands down, all time favorite--Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Camus' The Stranger, Melissa Bank's The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, CS Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, David Sedaris' Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim, Augusten Burroughs' Dry & Possible Side Effects, and Klosterman - Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs.

Heroes:

Tawny Kitaen in Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" video. Stevie Nicks. Bette Davis. Lauren Bacall. Chrissie Hynde. Madeleine Albright. Gromit (of Wallace and Gromit). That poor dog is unflappable.

One of the highlights of my work day, aside from visiting the ladies' room and dodging the horns of a raging bull, is emailing with my friends Pia and Kim. I love people that find the absurdities of ...

(Sort of) Confessions of a Boy Kicker

It's amazing how much our childhood experiences really say about who we ultimately are -- they're undiluted and pure, and they tell all. Equally amazing -- how we often don't really hear the truth un...
