About Me

i am a calledge grajuette.yay for me.; myspace layouts for Get this layout for your myspace page.

My Interests

never doing homework...ever...ever...again. music, movies, art, cooking. girly-stuff like knitting, crocheting, baking, shopping. i love sunsets, forests, the sunrise, foggy days, parks and open grassy areas, fresh snow, all the seasons for their unique beauty...i am interested in good books, good food, good entertainment, but most importantly, good people.

I'd like to meet:

more people who give a shit. about anything really. like here in taiwan, people have been protesting for 8 days straight. and they aren't leaving until their sorry excuse for a president steps down. and i'm not talking like a few people standing around with picket signs, i'm talkin' hundreds of people by day and thousands of people by night, with huge LED screens and every news camera in the city on them. every channel on tv, if not broadcasting the protest straight up, has at least a split screen to stay updated on the demonstration. they've stood there through typhoons just to get their message across. they seriously give a shit about kicking out their corrupt leader. i'd like to meet more people like them.

Movies:

blood diamond, motor cycle diaries, memento, what dreams may come, elf, anchorman, vanilla sky, american beauty, usual suspects, LA confidential, meet the deedles, the abyss, ice age, crash, me you and everyone else we know, ...drawing a blank right now...

Heroes:
