TODAY IS GONNA BE A GOLDSTAR DAY

About Me


hmm... about me, one of my general dislikes in life is trying to describe myself but i'll give it a go... basically i am a big geek with a lot of interests. there are people in this world who know absolutely everything about something and are pretty inept otherwise, i am more the type of person who knows a lot (but not everything) about a lot of things... and so i get along in a lot of different ways in the world. i am always curious to discover something more, and i think my circle of friends reflects that, they are far more interesting than me. i am usually pretty easy going, but behind that is an ambition... for what??? i am still putting that together, but i feel like i am getting somewhere. i am not the best at staying still (unless i haven't gotten out of bed yet)

My Interests

jack daniels, a good pint, my crazy beagle betty, wandering aimlessly in a new place (i just moved to ottawa so i have lots of oppportunity for this), my wonderful friends, spending too much of my money on pretty things, watching rainstorms, a good coffee, any awesome vegan treats that my friend mandi makes, road trips, rock star tatoos, the family, opening presents.

Music:

ummm... i like all sorts of music, but mainly indie rock kind of stuff... look through my jukebox to see what i like.

Movies:

i like a lot of classic cinema (cat on a hot tin roof, sabrina, breakfast at tiffany's, singing in the rain, in the heat of the night, all about eve, to kill a mocking bird, metropolis, etc...) animation (the incredibles, the iron giant, chicken run, wallace and gromitt, spirited away) anything staring judy dench, a lot of indie flicks, documentaries, and i am a sucker for a cute glbt flick (hedwig, but i'm a cheerleader, latter days, beautiful thing, les roseaux sauvages, object of my affection) i am totally into the seven samauri right now, and my favorite all time movie is called au revoir les enfants.

Books:

hmmm... well i spent a few years working at the big evil bookstore, so i have lots of books (as eric and jessica will attest when they had to help carry them up to my new apartment... thanks guys). mostly read classic fiction and modern classics, dostoevsky (crime and punishment), jose saramango (blindness), david adams richards (mercy amoung the children), martin amis (london fields), ben niehardt (hey joe), robertson davies (the deptford trilogy), harper lee (to kill a mockingbird), anything by kurt vonnegut and harry potter count in my favorites, but i really could go on, don't get as much time to read as i used to, but it's a definate hobby.

Heroes:
