I am here for Friends

About Me

Um...yeah, and then there was this one time when I started working for an entertainment giant, and it totally took over my life, and now I have no life, and it's really starting to bug me, but I'm trying to not let it get to me because it's just driving me to smoke more, drink more, and hate everyone.

Deep cleansing breath.

I don't spend enough time with my family or friends. They are starting to think that I'm just a sock puppet.

Deep cleansing breath.

I am not a sock puppet.

I am, however, a loser.

My Interests

Music appreciation, guitar (I need to play more often than I do), drawing, writing (poetry and really bad short stories), reading, going for walks (which I need to do more often)

I'd like to meet:

People who: make me think twice about my opinions and views; don't just say "yes" or "i agree;" make me break down my barriers and realize that there is so much more out there than what is inside this bubble.

Music:

Myspace tracks: Current track is "Fire Door" by Ani. No need to explain, right?Current binge: Orgone, Shawn Lee, M.I.A. (XL), Conjure One, and Múm

Constants: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Björk, the Janises (Joplin and Ian), the Bobs (Dylan, Darin, and Marley), the Sarahs (Vaughan, McLachlan, and Brightman), most Baroque composers (because I'm that goth), and Toots & the Maytals

Movies:

La Fille Sur La Pont, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the brat pack 80s movies, Labyrinth, Princess Bride, yer mom's homemade movies (hah), Plunkett & Macleane, and The Bad Seed (the black and white version starring patty mccormack as the wee serial killer)

Television:

Bravo, Food Network, IFC, Sundance, Lifetime, and I watch entirely too much television...

Books:

(this statement will never change) Historical and contemporary fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, 18th and 19th C. British fiction...my library consumes my petty cash budget.

Heroes:

My Mom

My Blog
