About Me

I'm a nerd who loves: animals, being goofy, horror movies, hot baths when it's cold, thrift store shopping, staying in little motels at the beach, long walks with my dogs, crosswords, anything funny, tattoos, reading, having music theme days, black coffee, and going out for breakfast.

My Interests

Anything I find interesting...

I'd like to meet:

Any animal abuser in a dark alley with my baseball bat.

Music:

I don't like music that evokes memories of a dream I had as a little girl, where I was kidnapped by a weird human/ape hybrid and held captive in a strange zoo-like prison. I also don't like new age/smooth jazz crap, or most Top 40. Boy bands make me queasy. I like rockabilly, punk, old soul/r&b, and just all kinds of random stuff - from AC/DC to Lucinda Williams to Subhumans to The Replacements to The Wu-Tang Clan. But nothing beats a Sunday morning of Patsy Cline, Ella Fitzgerald, and Neko Case.

Movies:

Anything I can film of my friends and neighbors through the use of hidden web cams

Television:

Currently watching old episodes of The Wire and Arrested Development

Books:

Whatever I find interesting - recent favs are World War Z - the most fucking awesome book I've read in a long time, A Virtuous Woman, Dry, Stiff: The Secret Life of Human Cadavers, The End of Alice, Under The Banner of Heaven; Anything by Doris Lessing, Cormac McCarthy, or Joyce Carol Oates. I'm also partial to real-life crime novels about serial killers.

Heroes:

Whoever first thought to make a sandwich with peanut butter *and* jelly. Also, anyone who gives a shit about anything and does something about it.
