My Interests

only boring people get bored easily

I'd like to meet:

the one with all the answers. not to be confused with someone who *thinks* they know all the answers. those people really bug me.

Music:

Anything that makes me want to dance, make love, speed, slow down, be artsy, work through angst, ponder mysteries, or be a little girl again.....such as: Underworld, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, The Clash, Tom Waits, Jollie Holland, Peter Murphy, Dave Seaman, DJ Shadow, DJ Tiesto, Dzihan & Kamien, Morcheeba, Morphine, PJ Harvey, Cake, Sublime, Skinny Puppy, Covenant, VNV Nation, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Chris Isaak, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Paul Simon, The Cure, David Bowie, Dead Can Dance, The Pretenders....too much to list, although that's a good start...

Movies:

A sampling of my collection: Emerald Forest, High Art, Amelie, True Romance, Harold and Maude, Boondock Saints, The Big Lebowski, Napoleon Dynamite, Secretary, Jacob's Ladder, Strange Days, Off the Map, Whale Rider, Pecker, Blue Crush (that's right, what ya gonna do bout it?), The Abyss, Contact, Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, The Princess Bride, and so on and so forth.... (yeah, I um, like movies or somethin...)

Television:

You heard me....

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
