I am here for Friends

About Me

once i had a friend from germany visiting, and his knowledge of america was rather limited. he was curious as to what the snow breakers were by the highway in wyoming, so i told him an elaborate story of how they were actually retractable bleachers for rodeos held by ranch owners to decide who the lead ranch hand would be that year. i also told him to keep an eye out, if he was lucky he might see a rodeo in progress. i suppose that's just the kind of girl i am.

My Interests

i love stuff. i'm fascinated by the paranormal and psychology, music and art, literature and comic books (oh, i meant graphic novels), rpg video games and educational t.v., tattoos and piercings and all sorts of adornment, history and sci-fi...i pretty much run the gambit.

adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:

whoever. i'm not really choosy. there is something worthwhile in everyone.

Music:

there's a couple artists from every genre that i really enjoy, but i find myself listening to classical and ska the most. some old-school punk and goth, a bit of the new mod, 80's new wave, and johnny cash find their way into rotation as well.

Movies:

between pan's labyrinth and 300, i'm a happy camper. both of those movies were outstanding. although i am having trouble refraining from screaming "I AM SPARTA!!" at co-workers.

Television:

i don't have any shows i'm obsessing over lately. it's just been a lot of animal planet and travel channel. i seriously need to get me some digital cable. i could use a bit of bbcamerica.

Books:

i've been pottered. i'm a bit bummed about the series ending. i was enjoying myself immensely. so now i'm fixated on terry pratchett and neil gaiman. but this is nothing new.

Heroes:

jim henson and akira kurosawa.
