What we talked about!

About Me

I'm studying writing at UMass Amherst. I don't really know what I want to do with my degree, and I waver back and forth on what I'd like to do with my life. I'm kind of painfully shy when you first meet me, but after I get to know you I'm quite a bit of fun. School is now in session, and I'm ready to rock this year out. I'm a huge music geek. I'm a big fan of hip-hop, but I'm sadly (and perhaps finally) starting to lose faith in it. I haven't heard much truly inspired hip-hop these days, and it kinda breaks my heart. I've been listening more to soul, r&b, "brit pop" (though I hate that term) stuff these days. And I firmly believe that Mark Ronson is a genius. He and Timbaland have this shit on lock.

My Interests

Hip-hop, writing, comic books, summer, adventures, walks, staying up late, remixes, drinking, people-watching, dj's, dancing, road trips, cooking, debating stupid shit with friends.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can make me laugh. Once you've done that, you're good in my book. I appreciate the subtle and the absurd.

Music:

Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Justin Timberlake, Gnarls Barkley, Lily Allen, Daft Punk, Common, Kelis, DJ Break, Basement Jaxx, Danger Mouse, Timbaland, Erykah Badu, Bjork, George Michael, Jill Scott, Missy Elliott, Beck, Peaches, OutKast, No Doubt, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Prince, Kanye West

Movies:
