About Me

sugar & spice, and everything nice :)

...like the drug, only better....

This is a public service announcement:
if you partied with tina last night...get yourself tested.

it's true. what can i say?

My Interests

the short list...

you.

the slightly longer but by no means comprehensive list...

people watching. tall two raw sugar americanos with room for cream. reading. traveling. watching trashy shows on MTV. puppies. running around the park. jeans, especially ones that really make flat asses look good. surfing useless internet sites like myspace. flip-flops from january through december. trying to "figure people out". meeting new people. attempting to be athletic. eating a good steak. all things texas. going to shows. european imports. playing in the sunshine. anything related to the pool. spending time outdoors. trying to get over my issues. learning new things. being the best "phallically-challenged gay man" in atlanta. taking pictures. twirling in flouncy skirts. carbs...and lots of them. (life is no fun without any carbs....really!) good sushi. dimsum. food in general. rainy afternoon naps. warm socks. making people smile. daydreaming.

I'd like to meet:

who am i kidding....i'm here because i'm the ultimate internet voyeur....i like reading/seeing what everyone else has to say/post, but i'll never meet up with anyone in real life. ok, never is a bit extreme....i won't meet up with anyone in real life 98.46% of the time.

Music:

last 5 songs played on iTunes

you're so vain :: carly simon
ziggy stardust :: david bowie
run :: collective soul
not ready to make nice :: dixie chicks
a little respect :: erasure

...and you can never go wrong with...
radiohead, U2, weezer, cowboy mouth, the cure, buckley, 80s rock, 19th century russian composers a la rachmaninov, etc. i have eclectic tastes :)

Books:

anything harry potter (my favorite being the prisoner of azkaban), hemingway, shakespeare, dostoevsky, vonnegut, tolkein, and most things on the NYTimes best seller list. i'll read just about anything fiction... non-fiction and me...we are not great friends.

current reads
a confederacy of dunces :: john kennedy toole
on the road :: jack kerouac

recent reads
middlesex :: jeffrey eugenides ****
the tipping point :: malcolm gladwell ***
under the banner of heaven :: jon krakauer ***

Heroes:

people who are doing what they love most. people who aren't afraid to hold back. people who don't just say they want to save the world, but are actually doing something about it. people who inspire others to be better people. people who are selfless, optimistic, hopeful, encouraging, genuine, and true to themselves. (ok, that one is totally kacy b.) i think everyone's wonderful.... :) ok, fine - *almost* everyone.

My Blog

fashion faux pas?
