I am here for Networking

About Me

I like to say I'm a full-time philosopher and a part-time gas station clerk. Describing my position in life will be a lot easier in August, when I begin studying English Literature at the University of Kansas City-Missouri. I'm going for a Ph.D, or "fudd" as I like to call it. Then you can stick me conveniently back in the "student" category.

My Interests

Nikola Tesla (what WAS he doing, really?), weird inventions, derelect buildings, unexplained phoenomena, the pure sciences, ruins, cryptozoology, weird science, sewing my own clothes, calligraphy, luthiere, entymology, etymology, classical literature, general zoology, canine behavior and social structure, birdwatching, architechture, herpetology, and sketching. Learning how to shave with a straight razor. Oh, yeah, and ROCKING OUT!!!

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to network with anybody from whom I could learn something. Particularly the proper usage of "whom." And I'd freak out to meet Russ Dwarf.

Music:

Rock, metal, blues, funk, soul, R&B, jazz, classical. Maybe not gangsta rap. Fave bands include Winger, Bad 4 Good, Tesla, Slaughter, and the Killer Dwarfs.

Movies:

Currently obsessed with Sweeney Todd. Everything from Fredrico Fellini to Ed Wood. Notably, in between, Kevin Smith, Tim Burton, and Terry Gillham. Love: Adrien Brody, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith.

Television:

Television moves too fast for me to comprehend anymore.

Books:

Top four, because they are too numerous to get comprehensive here: "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding; "The Way Of all Flesh: A Celebration of Decay" by Midas Dekkers; "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte; "Death in Venice" by Thomas Mann. Also I am a huge Harry Potter freak.

Heroes:

Bobby Budnick or Hermione Granger, depending upon if I'm at work or at school.
