I drink until I look good

About Me

I enjoy doing interpretive dance to "Slippery when Wet", blurting out the wrong lines to movies i've seen 100 thousand times, and I love pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I get grossed out every time I see that live GNR video of "Paradise City" where Axl is wearing these cut off white sweat pants and his thingy is flopping all around in them while he's thrashing about on stage. I can't decide which part is grosser....his thingy flopping around or the cut off white sweat pants. I also enjoy making fun of my friends. All 3 of them. I am a complete nerd.

You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts. You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary. But you sure can beat a good drum. "Kill! Kill!" The Muppet Personality Test

Books:

There are a lot books I don't like, like Plath's "The Bell Jar", it made me want to stick my head in an oven. And Ethan Hawke's "The Hottest State" which for some god unknown reason I actually tried to read....I thought maybe it would of been like Training Day. I do really like Russ Kick's "You are being Lied to: The Disformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes, and Cultural Myths" as well as most of his other books. Nabokov's "Lolita", Ondaatje's "Collected Works of Billy the Kid", Paterniti's "Driving Mr. Albert", David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell, the Little Golden Book classic "The Pokey Little Puppy" which is a complete metaphor of my life. Legs McNeils & Gillian McCain's "Please Kill Me; An Uncensored Oral History of Punk".

Any book on Elvis (scandalous preferred).

James Blunt likes the word "Beautiful".

If I may be so BLUNT (oh god...i'm hilarious!). I think it's like in every single one of his songs. My fave one is the one where he sings ( sing it to the chorus of "You're Beautiful") "The word ...
