About Me

I can be interesting sometimes. Once I lit my toilet on fire.

My Interests

Video games, computers/programming, books, music, cars, hockey. Dropping/breaking my iPod, making bad life decisions. Not being active in my community. Hating poetry and baseball equally. Lying to make friends.

I'd like to meet:

You! Oh wait, not you. If you send me a friend request without a message, I will smite it enthusiastically. If you send me a friend request with a message, I will probably still smite it (unless I know you), but I'll feel guilty about it for a little while. I will always write you back though*.

*It seems that this isn't true anymore.

Music:

Lots and lots of stuff, including (but not limited to)Elliott Smith, Morrissey, Bauhaus, Brainiac, Built to Spill, The Flaming Lips, New Order, Fugazi, Hum, Minus the Bear, Clan of Xymox, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, The Cure, The Pixies, Q and not U, Swervedriver, and so much more!

Movies:

Movies are okay.

Television:

I don't watch TV, and I will use every opportunity I get to make that fact known. I'll try to make it sounds all casual, but in reality I'll be really glad that I was able to bring it up again, the fact that I don't watch TV. I love it when you ask me if I saw XXX last night, because then I get to say no, and explain why. It's because I don't watch TV. Yeah it was a little hard at first, but you get used to it you know? It's not so bad, you should try it. It's not for everyone though, so don't feel bad if you have to go back to TV. I won't judge you or anything.

Books:

The Dune series, Count of Monte Cristo, Catch-22, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The Lord of the Rings, Lovecraft, Dickinson, Sedaris. The Wheel of Time series.

Heroes:

Hamtaro.

Some stuff

Some of you may not know that my car got hit in the work parking lot last week. Yes, it was parked. As in, stationary. The dude managed to cave in the driver door among other things, which puts me ...

I almost went over backwards

As the title suggests, I took a yawn break while writing this and came startlingly close to going down during the accompanying stretch.  No one saw though, so it's not a big deal. I've been drea...
