i will write this quickly and then, perhaps, if i remember, rewrite this later with something substantially more awesome.

i've just relocated to the tampa area - about 45 minutes north of the city. i'm a writer. i'm obsessed with music, all kinds - indie, punk, folk, etc. i like road trips a lot and exploring new places. i'm actually too lazy to make myself sound cooler right now. but basically, i don't know anyone in the area and would like to meet some people who live around here.

I am usually awesome, usually hilarious, and usually wandering

moving to florida to be closer to my family and applying to mfa writing programs.

getting stuff done at the last minute. making mixes. talking about music. staying up all night.

the fact that i'm pretty short and my sense of humor.

i'll try to keep it brief, though that's not usually my forte.

music: bob dylan, jenny lewis, rilo kiley, the mountain goats, okkervil river, avett brothers, the decemberists, geraldine fibbers, wilco, johnny cash, joni mitchell, pavement, sleater kinney, velvet underground, jonathan richman, fleet foxes, tegan and sarah, the thermals, the moldy peaches, belle and sebastian, elliott smith, damien rice, tom waits, janis joplin, etc.

movies: wonderboys, rushmore, reality bites, high fidelity, singles, empire records, mallrats, wristcutters, eternal sunshine, the science of sleep, anything with penelope cruz

books: etger keret, gabriel garcia marquez, dostoevsky, douglas coupland, lamb by christopher moore, catch 22, jd salinger, f. scott fitzgerald, milan kundera, our band could be your life, augusten burroughs, jonathan ames, david sedaris

tv shows: how i met your mother, arrested development, curb your enthusiasm (though i admittedly need to catch up), upright citizens brigade, seinfeld, degrassi, the office, skins

as for food, i'm vegan.

notebooks. my cats. my cd collection. my computer. dinosaur comics. humor.

the apocalypse and how i'm scared of bears. also, about the 50 million writing projects i tend to be working on.

you like adventures, hilarity and complete randomness and you feel like showing around someone new to the area. or if you like getting mix tapes. that's right. i said tapes, not cds. oh fine, i can burn mix cds too. oh, also if you're interested in going to see bands and stuff. i saw a couple of shows coming up that i'd like to get to but don't have anyone to go with me! (though i will likely still go to them by myself.)
