About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting



Becca. 27. Not into complete sentences. Lover of cats. Hater of phones. Fiercely afraid of change and very into meeting you.

My Interests

pop culture - movies, books, music, art... politics and anyone who's a little left of center, conversations that never stop, garage sale finds, my fancy new car, Trident White Cool Rush gum, emo blogs, live shows, my boyfriend and my friends, trying new things, meeting new people, drinking...alot, spades games that result in permanent injury, flip flops, hot sunglasses, New York or really anyplace that isn't Texas, my kitten, kissing strangers, road trips, shaggy hair, text messages and basically anything you're willing to pay for.

I'd like to meet:

People who appreciate self-deprecating wit. Indie rock boys and chicks that don't suck. Old friends. New friends. Alcoholics. You. Anyone who wants to give me money. Mostly I'd like to meet people who understand that half the shit I say is nonsense.

Oh, and John Cusack.

Music:

Brand New, Straylight Run, OKgo, Alkaline Trio, They Might Be Giants, Something Corporate, Bright Eyes, The Chemistry Set, Bowling For Soup, The Burden Brothers, Modest Mouse, The Juliana Theory, Simon and Garfunkel, Matchbox Twenty, Our Lady Peace, Jeff Buckley, The Cure, Cake, Rocket Summer, Death Cab For Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, The Killers, The Postal Service, Blue October, Kanye West, Kasey Chambers, Bloc Party, Oasis, Elvis Costello, Jack's Mannequin, Snow Patrol, Alanis Morissette, Mandy Moore Billy Idol, Elton John, Leonard Cohen.

I also have an unhealthy obsession with the 80's.

Movies:

A few favorites: High Fidelity, Pulp Fiction, Dazed n Confused, Office Space, Fast Times, Bend It Like Beckham, Love Actually, Closer, Garden State, Down With Love, Pride & Prejudice (really, any Jane Austin book made into a movie), In Her Shoes, Knocked Up and Wedding Crashers.

In general: documentaries, girly movies, anything British, anything with John Cusack, Philip Seymour Hoffman or Vince Vaughn, old movies (especially Audrey Hepburn) anything by Cameron Crowe, Oliver Stone or Kevin Smith. I'm easily amused, so I'll basically watch anything.

Television:

Well, since Gilmore Girls has ended and Veronica Mars has suffered a tragic and premature death, I've found a few replacements: Lost, Jericho, Grey's Anatomy, SVU, Chuck and Pushing Daisies. If none of those are on then there's a 95% chance I'm watching HGTV.

Books:

I read incessantly and insatiably, and almost every book I read becomes a favorite, so the best I can offer is a top 5, subject to change at any time without warning.

1) Prep - Curtis Sittenfeld
2) Little Earthquakes - Jennifer Weiner
3) Phantom - Susan Kay
4) A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith
5) Where The Heart Is - Billie Letts

As a general rule: chick lit, the beats, contemporary fiction and young adult lit are the most likely candidates. And I'm a Harry Potter fanatic, so in the absence of anything better to read, I will always reread that series.

Heroes:

whoever invented wine. Cheers to that guy.

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives...

I've come to the conclusion that my grumpiness lately is attributable to a lack of blog writing and that should stop. So, just to catch everyone up... I had a birthday. There was Ghostbar and debauche...

me and my monkey: a love story

I confess, that title has nothing to do with this blog. I was hoping it would be an attention grabber. And since you're reading this, alas, it worked. Tragically, I don't have a monkey but if I did I...

I have 140 people on my friends list. Of those, about 40 of them are bands. So I expect 100 responses to this blog. Call it an amateur sociological experiment, but tonight I want to know about strip c...

Oh Doogie Howser, you can be my love doctor anyday.

I know it's late, but it's vital for you all to know this: No matter how hard I try to be a good person, at the end of the day I REALLY just don't like most people. The end.
