About Me

So is this where I pick one of my secret identities pretend like oh yeah, THIS IS ME or where I finally admit I have schitzophrenia? Shit. Well since now you already know...

I teach English to plump German businesspeople. I'm obsessed with languages and people who live in underground tunnels and tattoos. I want to start a band called Quetzalcoatal. I'm trying really, really hard to be vegan. This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb makes me so happy that I can't help but dance a little when I hear them, even when I'm in the subway station with three old German ladies and a girl in a pink hat watching me from the other side of the tracks. Sometimes I'm an anarchist and sometimes I'm a communist and sometimes I'm a socialist and sometimes I'm an environmentalist and sometimes I'm so fucking tired of stupid fucking labels and stupid fucking people that I make up my own names and my own movements.

And if you want to add me, you better fucking send me a message first. Tell me what you're reading. Tell me about that time you ate a sock by accident. Tell me if you think Gaimon would beat Palahniuk in a fight to the death. (Or if Pullman would just come in and kill them both.) But don't fucking say "ur cute letz chat sumtime. send pics" because, well because then I HATE YOU.

My Interests

I LIKE bikes, dumpster diving, gravely voices, anthropology, gluing shit together, cooking, letters, dark beer, Germany, packages in the mail, science fiction, drinking on the fire escape, abandoned buildings, being a ninja, mud, books, secret identities, surprise dance parties, the sound of rain on the roof, late-night adventures, batman, vegan potlucks, graffiti (especially stencils), farmer's markets, used book stores, pirates, scavenging, and fresh-baked bread. I DON'T LIKE dubbed movies, temper tantrums, capitalism, fast food, wage slavery, amusement parks, tattoos of warner brothers cartoon characters, sticky children, and eating meat.

I'd like to meet:

People with obsessive passions. People with nonobsessive passions. People who make me laugh. Daniel Quinn. Someone who lives in a tunnel. Bansky. John Stewart. Someone with a pink mohawk. Ursula LeGuin. The penguin accordian dude. You.

Music:

lalalalala.

Movies:

Mein Liebster Feind. But I'm a Cheerleader. Dark City.

Books:

I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here, and we are dead.

Heroes:

Philip K Dick. Fernando Pessoa. Werner Herzog. Emma Goldman.

Operation Dresden WG

LouisenstrasseI fell in love with the stairwell before I even saw the apartment. Old concrete walls chipped in places, as if the shrapnel had walked in the front door and gone upstairs. Something ha...

Sorry About Dresden

The only thing that can save us now is five gallons of juice, Laugenbrötchen, and three packs of mozzarella cheese, I'm sure of it.I'd woken up to a text from A. "Life is pain," it'd said. I had nod...

Bilder!

So I recently found out that if I want to have more than three albums, I actually have to pay for Flicker. What the fuck. And yet soul-sucking Rupert-Murdoch-puppeteered myspace is free. What the f...

Yawn, stretch, zzzzzz.

There are a number of reasons that I could be feeling the way that I do. Eighty percent of my food comes out of a dumpster. I wake up at the ass crack of dawn and go to Neu Isenburg hungover on thre...

Going to Utrecht

Everyone has a fantasy, right?  Marriage, puppies, orgies, the lottery.  As for me, well, lately I've been imagining lovingly piling all my books into a few cardboard boxes while wildly...

For the language geeks. (You know who you are.)

"I am working for my present company since 10 years." You can file this, along with "I live in the near of Alte Oper", "I was by my friend's house," and "I have been in Paris last year," as the most ...

Conjugate a verb for Jesus!

My worst nightmare probably involves some combination of hairy spiders, AIDS, and a brigade of machete-wielding circus clowns. But being trapped in a small room with a born again christian for three ...

request

IF you happen to have an old copy of Taboo laying around that you don't want, and IF you feel like throwing away the box and sending me all the cards. Well, that would be fantastic.
