My Interests


**Playing piano, reading, going to the movies, photography, painting, all the usual suspects (ad nauseum...) I love listening to music, especially when I get it in my head to drive around aimlessly for an afternoon. Sometimes I just like to be alone (a predictable side effect of being an only child!) Have a curious affinity for frequenting dive bars (the worse - the better) which my friends can attest to! I also possess the useless ability to memorize obscure facts and trivia about movies and music which I share with the unfortunate souls who keep company with me.... /a

I'd like to meet:


Music:

I mostly listen to indie bands like Belle and Sebastion, the Shins, the Postal Service, the Field Mice, the New Pornographers, the Umbrellas, the Red House Painters, the Revs, the Hotel Lights, Kings of Convenience, the Clientele, Mercury Rev, Cary Brothers, the Greenskeepers, Beulah, the Moonbabies, KT Tunstall and the Siddeleys. I'm also a big fan of U2, Snow Patrol, the Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Ramones, the Police, the White Stripes, the Clash, Death Cab for Cutie, the Strokes, the Rolling Stones, the Cure, New Order, Coldplay, the Beatles, Violent Femmes, Radiohead, Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Bob Marley, Annie Lennox and Marvin Gaye.

Movies:

Trainspotting, Very Bad Things, Requiem for a Dream, Sideways, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Princess Bride, Clerks, Dogma, High Art, Laurel Canyon, High Fidelity, Amelie, Bend it Like Beckham, The Shawshank Redemption, The Player, Angels in America, Office Space, Garden State, Swingers, Vanilla Sky, Go, American Psycho, Love Actually, The Royal Tennenbaums, And the Band Played On, Metropolitan, The Matrix. Also love Resevoir Dogs, the Godfather 1 & 2, Scarface, Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas. Reluctant fan of Harry Potter....Not scared to admit I was a John Hughes fan. I guess I'm pretty sentimental cuz I still love Jaws after all these years.... a

Books:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, The Catcher in the Rye, The Beach, Trainspotting, Steal This Book, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Confederacy of Dunces, Tell No One, Watership Down, some Stephen King novels -especially IT. And, I am a little obsessed with J.K. Rowling's amazing Harry Potter series. Currently seeking treatment for this affliction.

I am not by nature an emotional person.  When the attacks occured, my reaction was shock and outrage but I never cried. For me, being stoic isn't a manifestation of not caring or f...

"friend" requests and the like

I know this may seem a bit extreme but this whole myspace thing reminds me of some tragic "high-schoolesque" networking community whose objective is to have as many "friends" as humanly possible. It's...
