i have a bionic knee

i wish it was raining, cuz i hate every beautiful day. :)

About Me

there are a zillion things i could put about myself in here, but none of them take the place of meeting me. this summer was a lifetime ago, and there's no way to go back to that place we were all in. so now i'm in the process of forging a new path, a new place that may or may not be the same as it once was, but hopefully it will be better.i love art, making it and viewing it. i hate the word "I" but i use it all the time. i sleep a lot and am notorious for falling asleep anywhere at any time. i'm in my last semester of classes at ISU and soon i'll be student teaching. It'll be a trip.

My Interests

art, constructivists, foreign movies, drinking with my friends, being with my friends, seeing my parents occasionally, making new friends, doing surprising things, picking up random people everywhere, card games, volleyball, breaking shit, treading water, surviving, waking up on the couch only to have remembered passing out mid sentence and seeing my friends that did the same.

I'd like to meet:

Edward Tufte, Christian Boltanski, Matthew Richie, the inventor of the Elefun, Robert Sabol, Gigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Steve Carrell, Rob Thomas, David Eckstein (so i can marry him), the team of Boyle, MacDonald, and Hodge, Ayn Rand, and Jacob Feldman (again).those who are no longer with us include Picasso (even though i spent most of my adolescence loathing the man, i realize how much we have in common), Jackson Pollock, Kurt Cobain, Hitler (who really wouldn't want to know what was going on in his head), and Federico Fellini (my film idol).

Music:

zillions of things. i don't follow it as much as i used to, so i'm stuck in the mid-late 90's time warp of craziness. fastball, semisonic, lifehouse, our lady peace, jonny lang, elliott smith, matchbox twenty, everclear, many many more... width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

Rebel without a Cause, Trainspotting, Good Will Hunting, 25th Hour, Snatch, MST3K, Boondock Saints, saved!, frailty.

Television:

Entourage, the office, clone high, big love.

Books:

Angels and Demons, Dante's Inferno, The Fountainhead, Grisham books, my art history books, All the President's Men, zen and the art of motorcycle maintanence, everyone worth knowing, harry potter, etc.

Heroes:

my parents. pollock, benton, boltanski, hamilton, norwegian mystic sculpture teachers.

no one in IL wants to hire art teachers.  or if they DO... which is a stretch... they want them by the fall, when i happen to be student teaching. how appropriate. i never thought i'd leave the m...
