ONE MORE TIME, WITH SPLEEN

About Me

man-e,
mood swings and longing and delusions of grandure
soy un duende. (i'm a goblin) algunos me dicen man-e (mani), otros me dicen mane, de las dos formas me gusta.
sometimes it's hard for me to stay in one place
most people don't notice, but i actually am good looking
i'm charming
i have an unusually long tongue
my ears are long
my face is very asymetrical
i'm told i look much better in the flesh, which is a great relief
i am THE big deal maker
i am OPERATIC
i have lonely eyes
i have things
i eat food
i am rad(ish)
i am studying Plastic Arts at UDLA in puebla, Mexico.
(to be read as a warning): I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IM WRONG OR RIGHT IN FUNCTIONING THIS WAY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THIS IS THE WAY I ALWAYS HAVE DONE SO, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE IT, IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY MOST PEOPLE FUNCTION, AND THE WAY MOST PEOPLE FUCNTION MAKES ME CRY.
please do mark my humble words, for they are true. thanks, man-e.

My Interests

VISUAL ARTS, mysticism, languages (i am fluent in English and Spanish, and i'm learning Japanese), modeling, music and SINGING (i'm training for opera).

i like:
art-making, singing, cutting from magazines (though i seldom do it), reading, listening to music, long walks around the neighbourhood listening to music, long night walks around the neighbourhood listening to music, boys (to girls: no, i don't make exceptions...not serious ones), long hugs, kisses, kung fu, japanese and mexican cuisine, SASHIMI, i also love cooking, films, yoshitomo nara, anish kapoor, i do not see an evening watching a film alone as such a bad night, accents, i am *BIG* on scents and my sense of smell is VERY strong, milla jovovich's characters (not her, though), octopuses, platypuses, mantids, snakes, big lizards, deer, all animals in general, forests, moss, the sound of leaves rustling, water, swimming, dressing up, my MacBook.

i dislike:
the thought that this list could be longer than the "i like" one. prejudices, gay scene, modernitos, most brands of cereal, when my hairdo is ruined, traffic jams, missing people, loving when not loved back, ambivalence, loneliness, i am scared of earthworms and slugs and leeches and hagfish, discrimination, watching people cry makes me cry, watching trees being chopped down or animals slaughtered or people suffering, uncertainty, ambivalence, authority figures, BEING FROWNED UPON FOR MY VIEWS ON ART AND FILM AND WHATNOT

I'd like to meet:

...oh! my love, only was a funny little thing; to be the ones, to've seen...

...she could spit on the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on sailors fighting in the dance hall...

...let down and hanging around, crushed like a bug in the ground....

...park the car. drop the phone. sleep on the floor. dream about me...
