*****See camera_monkey - my original account - as well, since I just recently re-activated the account, and will be integrating them (into that one) both to both update my life and to make me sound way more awesome. *****

I left my real profile in my other e-mail address, but I'll see you in the LGBTQ Forum. If you want to chat, feel free. I have a FaceBook that I'm now on more often. If you're lucky I might ask for a Request.

Getting through the day. It seems to be working out for me so far. Sometimes I sketch, sometimes I take pictures, sometimes I actually go out into the world and people watch/analyze "normal" human behavior.

I'm in the beginning stages of starting up my [small] personal business (selling photos to start with).ObserveAndClick.com
Site logo, it may change.

And just so you know, this is my super-jaded profile. That's why it's not my real account. I can't see anybody wanting to date somebody like me, but hey - maybe you're a masochist.

(In the future (year+?), when I'm better, I want to start my goal of graduating from SJSU as a Photo major with my double minors in Advertising and English.)

Not talking to you. (<--Does not imply a disinterest.)
I also enjoy cuddling, people watching, and having deep conversations while listening to good music and watching the sky above. (free things - 'cause I'm unemployed)
You can put me in front of any espresso machine or film projector and await a fantastic experience.
Oh, and I really like cameras. My cameras, specifically. And their lenses. And their film and memory cards. And the negative scanner. I'm really good at rarely using them, too. I need a muse.

I take a high dose of anti-anxiety meds, and am just starting an anti-depressant. And that's just the beginning of the treatment. Did you know Lexapro has no generic? $ =( $

You tell me.
Okay, fine, it's my looks - which, believe me, takes a lot more time than you'd think. You try shaving 70% of your body every day. Not to mention the necessary hair straightener. God I'm so high maintenance...
Anyway, I'm actually super meek upon first meet, so I really don't know.

Books: The un-boring ones. And the one about the color theorem. I was raised on Sci-Fis and Thrillers. My 10-year old self will forever remember the day she discovered Michael Crichton, Stephen King, and Brian Jacques in the library. Sarah Waters is my favorite lesbian writer (we do not talk about the BBC movies - ever).

Movies: indies, comedies, indie comedies, 'hot chick with barely likeable storyline' movies, sci-fis, lesbians flicks - even the really, really bad ones. Think John Waters, Jamie Babbit, Miranda July, Quentin Tarantino, Joss Whedon, Bruce Willis, Parker Posey, John Malkovich, etc...

Music: Whatever beat the crazy in my head can sync with. Think electro-new-wave-punk.

Food: edible. No wasting food around the Italian.

Ellen (PC), Shirley (car), Clea (film SLR), Zooey (DSLR), the family inlc. my dogs, my music collection.

Girls.
All I really want is girls.
And in the morning it's girls.
'Cause in the evening it's girls.
I like the way that they walk.
And it's chill to hear them talk.
And I can always make them smile.

The same shit I do every other night? Unless somebody motivates me.

In my mid-teens I cut and burned myself on my forearms. I have deep scars, some that will never fully heal. Unfortunately, I also have awesome shoulders and love wearing wifebeaters and sleeveless tees. What to do...

Sometimes you feel the need to break out in dance to an old Beastie Boys song.

You know our forefathers would consider our current political system to be hysterically ironic.

You can headshot from 400 meters away and against 30mph wind velocity in a realistic war strategy FPS.

You can stare a crack-addict down being a 135-pound white female at 2 in the morning in the Mission.

Your road rage encased in your '98 Integra fears not the Ford F-250 who just cut you off. Just remember to put the windows up. The sunroof works just fine to flip that bird.

You have better conversations with your dogs than you do your therapist.

You think real photographers know how to use real cameras/real mediums.

I believe in true freedom and equality in all the ways I was brought up to believe in my country. If you answered "Yes" to "Should burning your country's flag be illegal?" then go ahead and block me because we should never have any kind of contact. Yes, I'm one of those kinds of Americans.

All you need is Kathleen Hanna.
