About Me

I am an artist. At least, I'm trying to be an artist. And a writer. I'm supposed to writing. Like right now. I should be writing instead of updating my profile.

My Interests

Writing, sleeping, driving for long periods of time, shopping, watching movies, animals

I'd like to meet:

Who is going to play croquet with me this summer?

Music:

Alterna acoustic synth rock that borders on folk. Also reggae, but the Matis Yahu way that makes me feel like a poser.

Movies:

Anything by Won Kar Wei, The Station Agent, Born into Brothels, Elf, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Capote, the complete works of Lars Von Trier minus Manderlay. Sorry Danny Glover.

Television:

Lost, Law and Order SVU, The Daily Show, The Office, Reno 911!

Books:

Pride and Prejudice, Blu's Hanging, The Yellow Wallpaper, the short stories of Sui Sin Far, Corelli's Mandolin, Grace Paley, Jill McCorkle, Junot Diaz

Heroes:

Good question. We had an assignment in High School on hereos. I think I wrote a touchy feely paper about how everyone could be a hero in some way. Another kid wrote about Hitler. So yeah, that makes me better than some people.

I Want My Cat Back

My mom bought Ruby a bird feeder and put it up in her favorite window Sunday afternoon. She hasn't left the window for the past 48 hours, except to eat. Last night, I caught her standing there, in the...

Happy Belated MKL Day

So, the trash and recycling collectors don't usually come on holidays. Last Thursday night we were going to put out the trash and I was like, "Oh no, Monday was MLK day." My mom was like, "That's righ...

Oh, and another thing

I know some people are talking about how Hilary's comments were far from racist. More on the ignorant side, I'd agree. Ignorant in the way, "Hey (Insert name of black person) stop causing trouble," is...

Rant

Hilary Clinton has a black friend. Actually, not just one. She has a whole slew of them she can call on to go on air and back her up whenever she needs them to. I mean, seriously people, her husband i...

Check

I just accomplished one of my life long goals, namely buying a Le Sportsac bag at a fraction of the original price at a thrift store. Ahhh, success. When are we going to Savers?

The Best Day of My Life
