My self-summary
I like playing games with people. I don't honestly want anyone to know me until I am ready, so contacting me you'll be ran through an impenetrable wall of bullshit that may make you feel vulnerable. This isn't me being mean, it is more testing my boundaries and seeing how tolerant of my unruly, explorative personality you will be. At most times I'm a recluse, but on the weekend my close punk buddies like to drink and skank and start up all kinds of groovy shenanigans. I'm punk; I'm heavily involved in the music and the ideals and I'll be very outspoken if you are a racist, homophobe, or a republican, and we will not mesh; tried it before. I can't agree to disagree, I can only disagree. I like to hoard useless trinkets and ironic/parady objects that usually mock pop culture or events that moved me. I make collages and hope to start doing that for punk shows, if there were any. Guitar is a passion for me! Pick one up and jam with me sometime. Rocketry is another silly endeavor of mine, one I've never mastered because none of my rockets live to tell the tale, and thus I've been hesitant to attach a camera to one as a payload, but maybe soon! I dig writing casually and bargain shopping. Get to know me dude, seriously, seriously dude.
What I’m doing with my life
I work for this bitch-line for a bluetooth company called Jawbone. It's the greatest job I've ever had and the likelihood of me staying with them forever is pretty high. If you're into that guy that wakes up at 6 and irons his lavender colored polo and backs out of his driveway in a silver honda civic, heads to work and climbs the ladder rungs of success, stay away from me. I'm not into corporate puppetry, and I could give a shit about success. I would rather ace school than pretend I give more than 1/10's of a shit about going to work. Other than that, I'm working on a psych degree! It's my dream to maybe be a roady or producer for a band, be in one too, start a record label!
I’m really good at
Being cynical, playing guitar, writing opinion pieces/short stories, ordering creative pizzas, reccomending good music, discussing philosophy, day-dreaming, telling the future, catching the bus, paying people back money I owe them, dark humor, and appearing to be younger than I am.
The first things people usually notice about me
-That they have to crane their neck to look at me
-That I'm easily distracted, what?
-My hornet and hammer and sickle tattoos
-That my mood fluctuates very rapidly... And why the fuck do you care?
-That I'm broke
-That I must be "lieing" about my age (I even get this at bars)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I usually take my screennames for sites like this from "Lord of the Flies" characters i.e.: Jack Merridew. I also like to rip them from Edgar Allan Poe tales, or names of synth rock cd's i.e. "Psychocandy". My taste in books is for things both literal and allegorical, fiction and non-fiction. Shakespeare is a genious, I also used to read a lot of Bukowski when I saw "Dinosauria, We" in a "Green Anarchy" clipping. Tolkien and George Orwell have also been really influential to me.

Music is where I pour most of my time into though... I would name my three most beloved bands: 1. Jawbreaker 2. Sunny Day Real Estate 3. Operation Ivy. Honorable mentions: Dinosaur Jr., Dead Kennedys.

American Beauty is my favorite film, and Avatar really surprised me... V for Vendetta was superb, Eternal Sunshine (of the spotless mind) was gripping. I stay away from lame ass superhero movies, spoof movies, and anything featuring a goddamn vampire. I'm not xenophobic about movies though, I really enjoyed Splice... It was so tasteless.

As far as food goes.. To say that I eat anything other than fast food would be a lie. I mean, I'll pick up whatever slush my food stamp budget can afford, but when that runs out I'll eat out 3 or 4 times a day. (yikes)
The six things I could never do without
- My music collection
- Some form of stringed instrument (mandolin, lute, harp, what have you)
- A backpack to carry rubbage in
- Stationary.. to write letters to people
- Caffeine pills
- Pretzel M&M's
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Places other than where I am that I could be, with people I'm not around to replace the people I am around, things I could be doing that I'm not doing, in the past or future or both instead of the present.
On a typical Friday night I am
Wednesday is my big thing. Isn't it for everyone?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
That I worship satan. No wait, it's not Satan, it's just Aleister Crowley.

You should message me if
This entire section above explaining "me" hasn't turned you off; moreover, if you hate people with freckels on their shoulders, because I am one such person.
