There's a clock on the wall making fun of us all.

About Me

I'm incapable of arriving on time. But I rarely come empty handed and I'm usually the life of the party.

.. You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

My Interests

culture and cultural production, art and design of all kinds, musicmusicmusic, live music, laughter, my wonderful friends, the night life, dancing, red wine, making and enjoying food with others, aged single malt scotch, whiskey of any kind, red wine, not living like a student, language and writing, nerdery, bike lust, a fresh cup of coffee every morning...'morning,' making the most of opportunities- so long as they don't occur in the morning, traveling, riding bike at night in the city, hanging with sadie, laying around the house, staying up all night, i used to dance

I'd like to meet:

Everyone and no one in particular, except maybe David Sedaris who should simply say he writes fiction instead of claiming he 'exaggerates' upon non-fiction. I thought he was better than that manipulative sort of marketing ploy. But he still has the sharpest wit of any contemporary writer.

Movies:

Television:

whenever i catch them: family guy, the simpsons, the daily show, adult swim/aqua teen every now and then, the l-word, weeds, project runway, yacht rock, the wire, this american life

Books:
