I am kooky, sassy, and wry.
My Self-Summary
The website
Stuff White People Like
was basically written about me, see #3, 6-8, 10, 12, 18, 22, 25,
28, 35, 37, 39, 40-43, 50, 55, 57, 60-64, 67-68, 70, 72, 75, 79,
81-84, 88, 93-94, 96-104.
I'm so Caucasian. Seriously.
Also, I'm not a secret internet fatty, if you were worried. The
emo/MySpace angle is just so me!
What I’m doing with my life
I recently moved two hundred fifty miles into a lovely little
apartment. I spend my days sleeping in, riding my bike, watching
Doctor Who, reading, and stumblingupon things into the wee hours of
the night. It's perfect. Except for that whole dwindling bank
account thing. I'm working on that.
I’m really good at
The types of things that look good on your transcript/resume. The
rest I'm mediocre at.
Remembering faces. For years. And most of the time I'll also
remember where I know that person from/their name (if I ever knew
it). I keep this talent hidden. I don't know if that makes it more
or less creepy.
Ending sentences with prepositions. Take that, English language.
The first things people usually notice about me
The fact that I have the style of an English school boy. On certain
days.
The various levels of disarray that I call my hair. I always have
sex hair, baby.
Or my eyes. But if that's the case, you're staring too closely.
Creep. But I can't blame you, they are intense.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Well, I won't bore you with the laundry list of particulars.
Books: The type of books that you're required to read for college
literature classes. I'm like a pretentious English major.
Movies: Independent/foreign films. I'm like a pretentious Film
Studies major.
Music: Alternative (whatever that means anymore),
power/indie/psychedelic pop (the kind of pop that doesn't include
Kelly Clarkson, basically),
sissy indie rock,
etcetera.
I've noticed I have a somewhat more than slight preference for
bands with a "the" in front of their name. I adore definite
articles, apparently.
Food: The type of food that most individuals my age find icky,
e.g., fruits, vegetables. Or anything you can dip peanut sauce in.
The six things I could never do without
My
bikes (Peugeot
Iseran, Specialized Rockhopper, and the retro Kent Gran Concor, who
may be on his way out, you will be missed Clark Kent), my iPod
(read as portable music), the internet, literature,
the metric system
(Embrace its elegant simplicity, America!), and
science.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why people ask banal questions such as these. It keeps me pretty
preoccupied.
On a typical Friday night I am
I'll never tell you.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I've decided that I'm going to treat this as my newly established,
weekly "A Tantalizing Tidbit Revealed!" section. This will
hopefully satiate your voyeuristic urges. Or provide something not
boring to read.
Yes, now we will begin!
I'm a used goods junkie. I can often be found at garage sales,
thrift stores, and flea markets. I very rarely buy anything new. It
helps my wallet and the Earth. Yay.
You should message me if
Well, if I have to persuade you with sales pitches and platitudes,
you really shouldn't bother.
Or if you keep "stalking" me. No one likes a stalker. Yes, I'm
talking about YOU. Seriously. You can stop it now.
