I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm Dylan. I'm sixteen, and I'm currently living in the middle of nowhere in southern Appalachia. I'm going to make something of myself soon, and I'm going to change the world for the better. I promise you, I'll do it, just wait and see.

My favorite things: politics, philosophy, Mitch Hedberg, my friends, feminism, playful sarcasm, U.S. history, community service, indie rock, reading, frilly coffee drinks, satire, birthdays, political science, eco-friendly perfume, trying to play guitar, ska, being a vegetarian, wearing sweaters, buying used books, making art, journalism and Mrs. Lehto, Mark Twain's sense of humor, zen gardens, Noam Chomsky, hockey and the Boston Bruins, lotion, Japanese food, Ivy League sports, writing essays and poetry, bonsai trees, vinyl albums, current events, being completely inept at anything involving science...

"whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect." - mark twain.

I'd like to meet:

anderson cooper and ben folds. <3

Im just full of questions.

Why does listening to "Free Bird" make me feel better when I'm sad, even though I hate Lynyrd Skynyrd's music? Perhaps it's the guitar solo. I don't know. I don't even like southern rock. Why do I cry...

somewhere in the between: 2007 in a nutshell + stuff.

So, there are about seven hours left of 2007. I never know why, but New Year's Eve inevitably always depresses the shit out of me. I think it's because I have a hard time letting go of things and I do...

I’m just a rider on a rail.

Life is a trial-and-error sort of deal. Like cooking, I guess. You put shit into it (i.e., pickles on a PB&J) and it tastes like shit. Put too much of anything in it (you know, like garl...

The cliche Thanksgiving blog.

So, it's Thanksgiving. Happy Tofurkey Day. I had some kickass pumpkin pie today, and I suppose it's time for me to reflect on everything I'm grateful for, because I really am a lot more fortunate than...
