My Interests

the psychology/physiology of addiction, reading, knitting and experimenting with most types of craftiness, meeting new people, having random conversations, spending time with my friends, driving with no particular destination in mind, riding my bike, and eating yummy (veggie) food.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Music:

to be honest, i like almost all types of music. but some of the artists that i *always* enjoy are: bjork, the weakerthans, nina simone, feist, m.i.a., hawksley workman, blondie, ella fitzgerald, common, annie, yeah yeah yeahs, metric, jugular, pixies, nirvana, boy george, esthero, david bowie, inxs, outkast, portishead, pet shop boys, and the beatles.

Movies:

ask me in person. i like different movies for different occassions and moods. but i am *always* up for a kevin smith flick or before sunrise/before sunset.

Television:

intervention, the simpsons, degrassi (new and old), nip/tuck, prison break, the office (brit version, not that american rubbish), da ali g show, six feet under, my name is earl, seinfeld, and the daily show. i also get mesmerized by the occasional late night infommercial.

Books:

i don't really have favourite books, but i do have preferred authors and poets, some of which are: hermann hesse, douglas coupland, kurt vonnegut, jack kerouac, william blake, hunter s. thompson, sigmund freud, oliver sacks, dante alighieri, c.s. lewis, john milton, sherwin tjia, i'm getting into george orwell, and i *love* the book "perfume" by patrick suskind.

Heroes:

my mom. forreal. she is *the best*! :)
