I'd like to meet:

people who hate small talk as much as i do.

Music:

the kind played by smelly punk kids in someone's backyard. and the kind that makes me throw my arms in the air and stomp my feet and smile a genuine smile. and the kind that reminds me of good times and old friends. and the kind that comes in homemade cd cases and doesn't cost $18.see also: the bands who are my myspace friends.

Movies:

harriet the spy, igby goes down, amelie, the virgin suicides, the bad seed, you've got mail, ghost world, dead poet's society, high fidelity, wicker park, garden state, closer, v for vendetta, anything documentary, juno, woody allen movies...

Television:

seinfeld, sex and the city, csi, without a trace, stupid reality shows (ie, wife swap, big brother and supernanny), mythbusters, dirty jobs, anything lame or anything investigator-y pretty much.

Books:

the perks of being a wallflower, the virgin suicides, love me, anything about sociology, anything david sedaris, anything ethnogrophy, cookbooks. i spend a lot of my time reading books for school, but mostly i read minds.

Heroes:

myself when i used to run 5 miles per day. what happened to her?
