About Me

I'm a crazy combination of a large quantity of things so you can't really know me in five minutes or in one paragraph on a MySpace page. You'll have to spend loads of time with me to get to know it all and there are very few people willing to do that, and I don't blame them. But I like me this way.




My Interests

Music. Traveling. Lee Harvey's. Dallas Mavericks. Ten Sports Bar. NorthPark Mall. Dallas Observer. San Antonio. Westheimer in Houston. Sephora. New music by bands I love. Cranberry scented stuff from The Body Shop. The West End during the day. University of Texas football. Candles. Elm Street Bar. The Drag in Austin. Austin in general. Mai's. Genealogy. Blender Magazine. Swimming. Walkable cities. Coffee. Music biographies. M.C. Escher. Singing. Meeting new people. Nights at Bennigan's bar with Sweden. The fact I'm half Yankee, half Southern. Van Gogh paintings. La Madeleine. Foreign languages. My family. History. Live music. Cold weather. The Holiday season. People with manners. New experiences. Quotes. News.

I'd like to meet:

Now that the weather is getting nice, anyone who wants to join me on any given Friday evening at Lee Harvey's, since that's where you'll most likely find me.

Music:

My heart and soul belongs to ska. I like all genres of music, but my being lies in ska. Has for as long as I can remember. I love everything surrounding it. Reggae, dancehall, rocksteady, ska punk and the like. My favorite lies in 2 Tone though, with my heart going out to The Specials and Madness.

That's not to say I only listen to ska, far from it, but it's the roots of my music love. I also listen to a heavy assortment of punk, outlaw country, minimal amounts of dance-pop, metal, and general rock.

That all said, my favorite bands are The Rasmus and Social Distortion. I love many others, too much to list right now. But that's where my loyalties lie.

Movies:

Monty Python - All of it
Sliding Doors
The Ring
Napolean Dynamite
Chicago
Saved
Kill Bill 1 & 2
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Audrey Hepburn movies

Television:

Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, and Thin Blue Line. You know, basically old stuff from the BBC. It's great, but I hardly ever watch it, I just don't have time. Or honestly, I forget to. But I love it.
Also Friends and Will & Grace. Yep, love 'em.

Books:

1984
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
To Kill a Mockingbird
Music biographies

Heroes:

Anyone who has the courage to be themselves, and do what they do, no matter the odds or what other people say.
