About Me

i'm sarahfax. i've been putting the irate in pirate since 1981. i used to have stuff here, then i didn't, now i have stuff again. i snap twice and punch my headliner twice when i go through yellow lights. i make wishes on pretty much everything, ever. i like to drive. i am a fan of anything that goes beep, lights up, is shiny, or goes vroom - especially german things that go vroom. i am fortunate enough to belong to a car club called DCI. i love to travel and never have the money to do so. i am sassy. if i ever hurt your feelings i am almost definitely joking - there's this social device called 'sarcasm', i'm not certain if you've heard of it. i'm pretty anal about spelling but capital letters, as they are supposed to be used, bore me. i love sending and receiving real letters, like with envelopes and stamps, in the mail. i am good in the kitchen. do not malign star wars in my hearing, it will lessen my view of you as a human being and you will be wrong, besides. i write, i sing, i play guitar.
i am a work in progress.

here is my september update:
what a wonderful summer, and even more awesome to come in september... wildfire (where i will hopefully spin fire for the first time) and h2o (friends, volkswagens, and all around awesome).
The Hint dot com. you want to go here. do it.
Fight the MonSter.
i'm discovering a whole new form of playtime: playpoi.com
home of poi! what wonderful, friendly, helpful suppliers. check it out, alex and i need more people to play with. i'll even give you a referral code. you can't say no to that.

My Interests

making music, origami, reading, cross-stitch/needlepoint/knitting, card games of various sorts, drinking, playtime, history, volkswagens, cooking, traveling, singing, napping, victorian era/art deco, video games, avoiding shoes with laces, learning to spin poi, hanging out with my nakama.

I'd like to meet:

people that are awesome. people that like to laugh. people that like to jam. tinkerers, musicians, writers, thinkers, chillers. someone that can teach me how to dance. other spinners. basically, my personal philosophy is that we are all gems, and each person we meet and interact with adds another glimmering facet to the jewel we are. i want to shine as much as possible, and i hope i can help other people shine too.

Music:

there is no point in my listing everything - who's going to read all that? basically, if it's not r&b, country, metal, or hardcore, i probably listen to it. some of my favorites include THE HINT , muse, self, soulwax, blackstar, postal service, ani difranco, ben kweller, talib kweli, the sounds, ok go, gabriel and dresden, jem, wired all wrong... i stop now. i guess you'll have to actually talk to me - oh horror of horrors.

Movies:

star wars, lord of the rings, amelie, shaolin soccer, the thomas crown affair, pirates of the carribean, history of britain box set

Television:

i don't watch it much... battlestar galactica is great, though.

Books:

anything by terry pratchett, by bill bryson, augusten burroughs, or by neil gaiman; house of leaves by mark z. danielewski, the harry potter series...
siddartha by hermann hesse actually changed my life in a way.

Heroes:

my friends for continuing to help me keep my head up through the worst of times
