My Interests

Which Firefly Character Are You?
You are "Wash" Washburn, the pilot! You love to fly, and you're a natural at what you do -- you are a leaf on the wind. You and Kaylee the mechanic make a great team in keeping Serenity out of trouble and in one piece. You're a bit jealous of your wife Zoe's loyalty to her captain, but you're just as loyal to Serenity herself, and you're always there to provide backup or a swift getaway -- or both. Your quick wit and dramatic flair make you a fun person to be around, though your jokes often cause uncontrollable eye-rolling.

please drop out now, before you waste more of your parents' money making my experience worse

You know how people always say that it's such a joy to share something you're interested in with people who don't know anything about it? Lies. Or at least naiveté. People are inherently stupid and re...

this is the journey to discover the chair

I just added Silverchair to my Myspace friends. Seriously, how could I not have been friends with them before? I am slacking. Best band ever. Please forgive me, 'chair people. I love you.

Normally I'm not trendy, and thus I don't make blog posts just about spam poetry. But I liked this one, it was so...well, I guess it's just because it has the word moonlight in it, I kind of liked tha...
