About Me

I'm an old school dork baffled by new fangled contraptions. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm forced to live in the now or be left to die in a bloody, crumpled heap by the technological wayside. Damn my amish ways! I love to play the drums, not well but LOUD. I like quoting the Karate Kid at inappropriate times. I swing dance when I can and love contemporary. I listen to my ipod and sing really bad and loud to scare my room mates. I enjoy judo chopping in my spare time. I prefer the company of crazy ninja pirate monkeys wearing bandanas like Johnny's from the Karate Kid. I LOVE creamy chicken flavored ramen! At night I like to sit in the backyard and get lost staring at the stars listening to Sigur Ros and wondering what William Zabka is doing right now. I'm all about escapism whether its through music, art, Angelina, literature, film, dance, day dreaming or whatever, I need an escape.

My Interests

Playing the drums. Wearing clothes reminiscent of wallpaper. Being oblivious. Saying the word "rubbish". Watching movies & engorging myself on popcorn. Mass sushi consumption. Fantasy novels. Comics. Day dreaming. Making fake bloodied & severed things. Acquiring metal & ink on my person. Thinking the cats are coming to get me.

I'd like to meet:

Buster Keaton, Charles Dodgson & Jim Henson when they were alive, not now cause I'm scared of ghosts. Angelina Jolie; so I could die happy. I actually met Xenia Seeberg from Lexx at a convention, she kissed me on the cheek and I had my arm around her waist, I was so nervous and excited! I bought her cd, I'm such a geek.

Music:

I love Bloc Party & 30 Seconds to Mars. The Distillers in the mornings. Sigur Ros when I'm depressed or wallowing. Rachmaninov, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Deftones, Interpol, Evergreen Terrace & anything that rocks. Songs that have connotations to people, places or times that I miss. I'd die without music, or kill, either way.

Movies:

Buster Keaton movies cause they're so surreal & frenetic. Golden Age of Hollywood musicals where everyone breaks into song & dance every fifteen mins. LOTR, Star Wars & Harry Potter obviously. Jean Pierre Jeunet's films especially Amelie. The Royal Tenenbaums, Ghostworld. Almost anything by Tim Burton, David Lynch & Stepehn Chow. Hayao Miyazaki's films for their immense imagination. But above all else... The Karate Kid. I love Reseda!

Television:

SpongeBob Squarepants, Invader Zim, Bear in the Big Blue House, The Muppets, Wishbone, Dora the Explorer (where I learn all my spanish), Arthur, Lexx, Star Trek (original), Little Britain, The Office (english), Bo' Selecta, Trailer Parks Boys, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Carnivale, Twin Peaks, I love Lucy, Six Feet Under.

Books:

My all time favorite books are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I tend to only read fantasy novels and comics. I'm a dork. Books about Antoni Gaudi's work or Art Nouveau. And of course I love JTHM and Squee.

Heroes:

Lewis Carrol & Jim Henson because their works have left an indellible mark on my life, literally. Buster Keaton the most comically ingenius man ever. Dennis Tito cause he bought his way into space! The first person to teach a monkey to smoke a cigar.
