About Me

i work. i sleep. i play WoW. i go to concerts. i sleep some more. i try to convince people that life is worth living. i try to give good advice. i try to be a good friend. i try to listen. i try to talk. i try not to be shy (i'm still working on that one).

above all, i try to be myself. not who everyone else thinks i should be.

My Interests

music, music, music. going to shows. buying cds. movies. renaissance faires (yeah, i'm a nerd). lizards. cute boys. nice boys. ninjas. pirates. robots. hanging out. fighting boredom off with a stick. exploring new cultures. taking pictures. shopping for antiques. giving people gifts for no reason. being clever. being a smartass. sarcasm. harassing people for my own amusement. random other shit.

I'd like to meet:

lots and lots of people. if you don't have anything in common with me, however, it might be difficult for us to find topics of conversation, or things to do. but if you're cool and like to hang out and make new friends, go to concerts, attend movie night at a random friend's apartment, or anything else out of my interest list, then message me. i'm generally a nice person.

but.. if you are going to message me and get my hopes up about you being a cool person, and then disappear on me or have me find out that you have been lying from the very beginning, don't message me. it's not worth your time or mine. why you would like to hurt someone like that is beyond me, but it's been done and i don't appreciate it.

you can also message me on AIM, if you so desire. if i don't answer, chances are i'm at work, not ignoring you. my screen name there is starsfellburning.

ps: don't get offended if i ask you for your myspace link right after you say "hi, i got your SN from your myspace profile." i just like to know who i'm talking to.

Music:

i'd rather avoid people judging me by my taste in music, or thinking i'm less cool because more than one person has heard of the bands i listen to, so we'll just say i listen to what sounds good at the time. curious? just ask. chances are i will be listening to music when you IM me.

Movies:

house of 1000 corpses. pirates of the carribbean. boondock saints. lock, stock, & two smoking barrels. snatch. mean girls. lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events. all the harry potter movies. secondhand lions. big fish. i ♥ huckabees. napoleon dynamite. willy wonka. much more.

Television:

aqua teen hunger force, scrubs, family guy, south park, stella, fresh prince of bel-air.

Books:

the harry potter books. gypsy gold. lullaby. choke. fight club. charlie & the chocolate factory. speak. helter skelter.

Heroes:

people who work for what they believe in. people who respect other people's beliefs. my dad. my mom (sometimes).
