creative, intelligent, genuine, ambitious, and like-minded individuals. if you want to add me and i don't know you, give me a reason why i should. i rarely respond to messages in the first place, and i never respond to them when they're just "hi" or a pick-up line.
who i would NOT like to meet: skeezeballs. people who "want to be my slave." i probably won't want to date you either. ultimately, if you have nothing in common with me and send a friend's request, you confuse me and will be ignored.

"All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl."-Jean-Luc Godard
i am a self-professed cinephile, especially when it comes to cult flicks. i am on a perpetual hunt for the most bizarre films humanly possible and i usually do a good job at finding them. if it's a horror film, i'll watch it, no matter how bad it is. i love the good ones, and love laughing at the bad ones. some of my favorite filmmakers include john waters, terry gilliam, david cronenberg, stanley kubrick,
tim burton, quentin tarantino, takashi miike, and david lynch. some of my favorites include a clockwork orange, the dark knight, brazil, ed wood, the devil's rejects, blade runner, sin city, sweeney todd, v for vendetta, full metal jacket, equilibrium, battle royale, fight club, texas chainsaw massacre, dr. strangelove, predator, 28 days later, three...extremes, party monster, pee wee's big adventure, star wars, delicatessen, silent hill, batman returns, american psycho,
the shining, taxi driver, hedwig and the angry inch, moulin rouge, city of lost children, visitor q, cannibal! the musical, twelve monkeys, rocky horror picture show, fear and loathing in las vegas, titus, silence of the lambs, falling down, donnie darko, meet the feebles, natural born killers, cecil b. demented, edward scissorhands, the fifth element, grindhouse, alien, beetlejuice, minority report, dark city, and many others. but i'll stop there. i'm a recovering, over-educated film student, and i could talk for ages about this subject....but i won't, for your sake and mine.
tv eats your brain. i hate it for the most part. i make exceptions for educational shows because i love expanding my database, and psychotic animated shows because they display the most creativity. think adult swim. i'd say my favorite shows are invader zim,
family guy, space ghost, south park, aqua teen hunger force, sealab 2021, robot chicken, the simpsons, kids in the hall, wonder showzen,
dexter, da ali g show, monty python's flying circus, whitest kids u know, the office, sifl and olly, america's best dance crew, and mst3k. spooky shows like ghost hunters make me happy too, as do (and i say this with much shame) horrible reality t.v. shows. they're like train wrecks: i can't help but watch.
“Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.â€-Chuck Palahniuk
i honestly don't read as much as i should, but some of my favorite authors include chuck palahniuk, bret easton ellis, h.p. lovecraft, clive barker, douglas adams, william gibson, philip k. dick, noam chomsky,
carlton mellick III, aldous huxley, oscar wilde, ray bradbury, irvine welsh, anthony burgess, kurt vonnegut, hunter s. thompson, j.g. ballard, edward albee, tennesse williams, bertolt brecht, adam parfrey, and russ kick.
i am also a huge comic book dork, most specifically the works of jhonen vasquez, roman dirge, jamie smart, warren ellis, frank miller, and alan moore.
