About Me

I ask a lot of questions, and I mean a lot. I like knowing how people and things work. I don't litter and people who do make me sad. It drives me crazy when people don't recycle. I tend to finish eight books in a month, then not pick up another one for three months. I like dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauruses and lexicon/grammar books. I realized that I might be more than a little misanthropic and curmudgeonly.

My Interests

Reading, knitting, flora, bicycles, snooping, enviromentalism, vegetarian cooking, ethics, hating a variety of things, grammar and rumination (not the cow kind).

I'd like to meet:

Ann Coulter, Henry Miller, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, Helen Thomas, Stephen Colbert, Ambrose Bierce, Dorothy Parker

Music:

Yeah, I like music.

Movies:

I like these too. Especially good ones.

Television:

Nah

Books:

Finished '100 Years of Solitude' awhile ago. Read 'The Poisonwood Bible' a couple of weeks ago and am currently reading 'Goedel, Escher, Bach; An Eternal Golden Braid'. Cool stuff, I'd recommend all three. GEB is especially awesome if you hated math way back when because you thought it was boring.

I'd rather give my tax dollars to the welfare queens.....

Did you know Stephen Baldwin, the guy that was in BioDome, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas and a ton of other really, really crappy movies is an evangelical Christian?  I read also that he's a...

Liquor? But I hardly know 'er!

Usually I really enjoy raspberry flavored licorice and Goldfish crackers.  Now, when I'm 'slightly' tipsy, they taste awful.  Goddamn it, alcohol.  You ruin everything.Also, I really, r...

6 insults that I wish were more popular

In no particular order, here it goes.1) Cunt.  (You either love this one or hate it.  I love it, especially because you'll have people who say 'fuck' every other word but you drop a 'cunt' i...

Revolting

Whoa, I just stepped in dog vomit barefooot.  Cleaning it up now is less disgusting.  This is why rabbits are great.  They can't throw up.

The rotten thing about looking for something....

is that sometimes you find it.  Having your curiosity satisfied isn't always so satisfying.  Ugh.
