About Me


"I'm not sure there's a name for us. I suspect we're born this way: our heart screwed in tight, already a little broken. We hate sentimentality and yet we're deeply sentimental. Low-grade Romantics. Tough but susceptible. Afflicted by parking lots, empty courtyards, nostalgic pop music. When we cried for no reason as babies, just hauled off and wailed, our parents seemed to know, instinctively, that it wasn't diaper rash or colic. It was something deeper that they couldn't find a comfort for, though the good ones tried mightily, shaking rattles like maniacs and singing "Happy Birthday" a little louder than called for. We weren't morose little kids. We could be really happy." - From Which Brings Me To You, by Steve Almond & Julianna Baggott

I love hearing other people's opinions. I think robot voices are awesome.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

because I want
and I don't know what I want
but when I want it, I want it

My Blog

I drew some schematics.

I was in Massachusetts for less than 24 hours and I had a dream in which there was a worldwide conspirasy, I am pretty sure it was worldwide, to get me to stop smoking.  This went so deep as to h...

Hey, I'm not dead!

Yeah, sorry to disappoint you :)  I have none of this internet shit on any sort of regular basis, and I certainly don't make it to the library very often; I'm too busy reading books that I alread...

Oh dear.

It seems like I never have any time anymore.  I think that just translates to "never having any time to use the internet."  I always feel like I have 200 things to read and 28 emails to...

Do you?

I read on the back of a book that we got in today that "someone [I] know needs a hug."  Is this true?  Are you this person?  When would you like your hug?  If you don't exist,...

Bittersweet(?) Weekend

Well, I was having a great week.  Too bad things are always changing.  I'm sure they will change again soon. I got to ride in the back seat of a truck [I love the backseat of trucks for some...

Free Gifts at 3 in the Morning

John just came home and brought me a bunch of salted butter and about 8 disposable ash trays.  I couldn't be happier.  We are now smoking bowls and eating pie.  Oh it is heavenly pie.&n...

A beautiful day in western Massachusetts + Notes on Weather

I've never been so happy to wait for 2 hours just to end up spending $125 on my car. If you need your car worked on, the Firestone in Northampton gets my glowing reccomendation. The guy at the coute...

god told me to quit smoking today.

I bought a pack of lucky strikes for a party I went to this evening.  I smoked one no problem.  However, on the way to the house I lit the second cigarette, and got the half lighting puff th...

"Wake your ass up!!"

I always sleep too much or not enough.  Always.  I seem to function fairly well in society either way, but each has its ups and downs.  If I could mix the two and get the perfect amount...
