About Me

"Love is a serious mental disease." -Plato


I'm in love.

I'm 23...a college graduate in the "real world" trying to make it on my own. i have no clue what i'm doing most of the time. i guess you could say i make it up as i go. don't get me wrong...i have passions and i try to live my life fulfilling them, but the big picture is still a complete blur to me. this is both slightly disconcerting and exciting. seems like the older i get and the more i learn, the less i feel like i actually know. i'm generally a very social person, although i do like my alone time. i tend to make friends easily, but there are very few that i make life long connections with. my friends describe me as independent. if you manage to break through my surface i can be a bit of a softie...i'm really affectionate and i love to cuddle. i make sure not to come off this way though :) i've been told multiple times that i'm really a dork underneath. this--i must admit--is the truth.

i LOVE music. i love to go to concerts...shows. i find in music the words, emotions and feelings that i cannot express. i have a slight obession with quotes...i keep a list of them that I add to frequently. i also write them on mirrors with dry erase markers. i hate when people use "your" and "you're" incorrectly, as well as "to" and "too". oh, and "their" and "there"...its stupid i know..but it annoys me for some reason. i like people who are open minded and think for themselves. i think quirks make people unique..not neccessarily weird. i hate confrontation. i'd choose happiness over money any day...as noted by my job...which, i love :) i'm extremely indecisive, and i'm becoming more and more convinced that i have committment issues. but if i ever do actually make up my mind, i go for it (thus overcoming the committment issue). i'm really sarcastic...but not in a mean way...i always say it with a smile. I'm cynical...although i like to think of it as realistic.

"I change my mind so much, I can't even trust it. My mind changed me so much, I can't even trust myself." - Modest Mouse

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be” – Marcel Pagnol

“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. – Lewis Carroll

My Interests

Music

I'd like to meet:

no one on here...but i'm not suppose to say that, right?

i just don't think many people on here present themselves as they do if you were to meet them in person. i don't want make believe...i don't want to see the you that you would present if you had no social reservations...i don't want to see you from an angle....i don't want to hear what you think i want to hear...and i don't want to read about what books/music/movies you think are socially acceptable in this myspace culture. take off the thick makeup...stop pretending that you're deeper than you are....and try being real. you might surprise yourself.

Who I Do Actually Want to "meet":

1) old friends i've lost contact with

2) bands i've booked

3) people i've met in the industry

Music:

Lots....Damien Rice, Death Cab for Cutie, the Postal Service, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, The Shins, Joseph Arthur, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Libertines, Coldplay, Counting Crows, Bright Eyes, Iron & Wine, Rilo Kiley, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Pavement, Alexi Murdoch, Jeff Buckley, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Spoon, Pheonix, Sigur Ros, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Hockey Night, My Morning Jacket, Hot Hot Heat, The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, The Spinto Band, Longwave, Pete Yorn, Broken Social Scene, The Stills, The Whigs, Wilco, Athlete, Aqualung, Sean Lennon....

Movies:

Garden State, High Fidelity, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Anchorman, Almost Famous, Closer..

Television:

SCRUBS, Grey's Anatomy, Sex & the City, Family Guy, Will and Grace, Friends, Laguna Beach (oddly and slightly disturbingly addicting!!), the National Geographic Channel (way, way better than Discovery Channel), the countdown type shows on VH1 where the random comedians make fun of celebrities...yeah, those are good

Books:

The Awakening, Angels and Demons, Franny and Zooey
