About Me

Myspace is the dastardly epitome of Foucault's concern with observation, discipline, surveillance, and punishment. Despite my awareness of this fact, I find myself here anyway.

My Interests

Bungee jumping, skydiving, bikes, hang-gliding, kite-boarding, slam poetry, model airplanes, stamps, football, learning.

I'd like to meet:

Mr. Right.

Music:

Songs in the Key of Life.

Movies:

You know that movie where the pretty rich uptown girl dancer falls for the gritty downtown guy, whose ghetto sensibilities combine with her refined style to win the dance contest? That one.

Books:

Discipline and Punish.

Heroes:

Val Plumwood.
