Good Girls Don't Have Gasmasks

About Me

I'm going through a phase in life where I'm trying to figure out if I'm jaded or enlightened, or maybe a mixture of both. Of all the things I've lost, it's not my mind, but my innocence I miss the most.

My Interests

reading, painting, playing piano, going to a good show, freestyle dancing, movies, muay thai, rollerskating, tattoos, musing on urban culture, beach volleyball, drinking, and being lazy whenever possible

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to have coffee with Neil Gaiman, go to an amusement park with Christopher Moore, and have a sitdown with Quentin Tarantino and tell him that even though he makes great movies, his ugly freaky ass does not have to make a cameo in every single one of them. I'd love to take some pointers from Nick Bantock and Dave McKeane. I want to go shopping with Augusten Burroughs. I want to ask Poppy Z. Brite if she really wrote "Lost Souls" "Drawing Blood" and "Exquisite Corpse" because all the rest of her books are mediocre and written in a different style.

A good friend...

A good friend pointed out to me that I need to spend more time looking up.  I might step in a pile of dog shit but at least I won't get hit by an ambulance.
