About Me

I'm inherently awesome.

Aside from that, I'm just trying to figure it out like everyone else. I've had an insane year. I'd like to say my life went as planned but it didn't.

I love urban exploration and taking second-rate photographs. Music makes my heart sing and scream, alternately. I become far too attached to people, things, and memories. I have too many people to keep up with so I became a hermit. Water and wind are strangely important to me. Fingerpainting is the only way I paint. B-movies and zombie movies make me smile. I like people who know who Jeff Noon is and listen to Otis Redding on vinyl. I have a strange sense of humor and it's important for me to laugh.

Also, I am probably America's Next Top Model.

there is nothing in the world that we can count on

even that we will wake up is an assumption

but i know for a fact that i loved someone...

~the dresden dolls, "boston"

My Interests

music / driving / color / reading / painting / animation / laughing / shopping / ghost hunting / road trips / urban exploration / trainyards / pictures / inside jokes / you?

I'd like to meet:

People who are honest, intelligent, and witty as hell. People who appreciate a person for who they are would be a plus as well.

Of minor importance: I edit my list on a regular basis. Unless I know you currently, we have history together, you're the most awesome person ever, or we communicate regularly, don't expect to stick around.

OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE: DON'T SEND ME A REQUEST WITHOUT A MESSAGE. YOU WILL BE DENIED UNLESS I KNOW YOU. IF I DON'T KNOW YOU AND YOU DON'T SEND ME A MESSAGE, WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WANT TO ADD YOU?

JJ is dead

I have never typed worse words, but it's true. He commited suicide in a hotel room. He didn't leave a note. I don't want to type anymore.

Power is restored and the world returns to... normal?

So, after I write a nice long blog bragging about how the ice ate Springfield's power, but not ours, we lose power in the middle of watching Aeon Flux Sunday night.It was out all week, until yesterday...

The ice ate Springfield.

One size kills all.

OK... so I picked up a movie at Family Video the other night (yeah, they suck, but nothing will ever match up to Showcase anyway so fuck it) because it was a horror movie. I have a slight obsess...
