About Me

i come from a long line of rogues and rascals. i have a tradition of rebellion to uphold.

My Interests

I act for money (finally). I play music for free (for now). I draw when I have the time. I read books when my head is hungry. I dance every chance I get.

Movies:

I like the ones that make me cry. I like the ones that make me laugh. I like the ones that make me jump and scream the most right now.

Television:

I will be sad when Halloween is over and the scary movie marathons are no more. I watched six hours of horror yesterday.

Books:

I have been reading a lot of political philosophy these days. Karl, Noam, Guevara. The man will probably try to come get me now.

Heroes:

Egon Schiel, Gustav Klimt, Anaïs Nin, Kate Chopin, Kurt Vonnegut, Noam Chomsky, and lots of other people I have never met. Some that I have.
