About Me

I am a born hypocrite. I like people who can spell. I am never secretive about how I feel. I do not believe in a god. I think that there are many things in this world beyond the reach of human understanding, and we should accept that we can never know them. I think it's beautiful to be part of the mystery. My old boss called me an "Astrofarian." I don't think you should ever settle. I always strive for the truth, even if it is not pretty. If you catch me on the right day, I will talk your ear off. I would describe myself, among other things, as a corporate hippie. I talk to myself a lot. I have freckles that I hate and hazel eyes. I usually trust my first impressions. I believe that it is wrong to use animals for personal gratification (food, clothing, entertainment, etc.) I believe that everything in this world is connected somehow and that some karmic force ties all actions to other actions. I travel a lot, particularly to China. My whole life I have been caught in between two worlds, in many ways. I am just now learning that this is a gift. I'm a pretty big dork. I hate it when people mistake labels for design. I like my feet. I consider myself to be somewhat of a minimalist. I like to sit around the house with my cats and watch movies. In College, I studied abroad in a tiny town in Ireland and I will eternally miss it. I work very hard to not be so pessimistic, but I am an eternal idealist. I love my mom. I love curry. I love yoga. I like good beer, good company, knee socks, and cat naps. I find it almost impossible to tell a lie. Occasionally, I talk in my sleep. People discourage me on the whole, and yet, I consider myself to be a humanitarian. My friends mean everything to me, and I seem to fall in love easily. I think Christmas Trees are freaky. I am deathly afraid of worms, slugs, snails, and maggots. I prefer tea to coffee. I strive to appreciate life for what it is, not for what I want it to be.

My Interests

Asylums, Tattoos (especially literary ones), Tomato soup with burnt toast, Marionettes, Ireland, The Museum of Jurassic Technology, Autumn, Design of All Kinds, Socialism, Haunted Houses, Absinthe, Butoh, Curry, Pretty Much Any Art Museum, Trees, 1920s Advertising, Raw Emotion, Dreams, Fashion, Shoes (Especially Mine), Bizarre Art, Wit, Vegan Food, Yoga, Thunder Storms, Animals, Pedicures, Heavy Breathing, Art Deco, Edward Gorey, Medical Art, Extremely Large Sunglasses, Scrabble, Antidisestablishmentarianism.

I'd like to meet:

Probably not you.

Music:

Sounds made with emotion, or computers. Drunk Men with guitars, Sad Boys with guitars. My top 3 bands of all time are Suede, Bauhaus, and Placebo.

Movies:

Anything that makes you think. Lately I've been watching a bunch of documentaries.

Television:

I'm always saying "This is just like that one episode of... [Friends/ The Simpsons/ Seinfeld/ I Love Lucy]." Because Dammit, they're so pertinent. And Arrested Development and Father Ted.

Books:

Some of the recent ones I liked were "An Unquiet Mind" by Kay Redfield James, "Shade" by Neil Jordan, and "A Girl Becomes a Comma Like That" by Lisa Glatt (highly recommended). I preach that "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski is probably the best book ever written. Charles Bukowski is my favorite author overall. I like anything by Tom Robbins (although I always thought If I met him in real life I would think he was an ass). Whatever. Tons of stuff.

Heroes:

My Mom for selflessness and dedication. Bobby Sands for conviction. Michael Moore for not getting angry. Stella McCartney, Joaquin Phoenix, Edward R. Murrow, and Lucille Ball for refusing to compromise. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Lush team for vision. Margaret Cho for being able to show humor in everything (which makes it all a little less bad). Hussain Chalayan, Helmut Lang, Pia Myrvold, Vivienne Westwood, and Issey Miyake for challenging the aesthetic standard. Anyone who truly follows their heart. Oh, and Maynard G. Krebbs, just for the hell of it.

My Blog

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

A job, at last. China too.

I got a job. It's actually very cool, working for JENKEL Beverly Hills as a subcontractor for Charles David. So I'll be doing some first cost for Charles David, BCBG, etc. but also our own line, which...

No Comment.

Went to LACMA today and saw a lady in a wheelchair with a logo on it that said "Quickie."
