I am in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and enjoying it.
My Self-Summary
I walk around
the
city a lot listening to
music. A coworker described me as
"bookworm chic." I am mad at the boy who recommended Hesse to me.
Everybody drowns.
Currently reading: Narcissus and Goldmund, by Hermann Hesse. I
can't decide what to read next.
What I’m doing with my life
Social media editor at an advertising agency, which means I spend
all day dicking around the internet.
My freckles are fading.
I’m really good at
City walking. Waking up mysteriously cut and bruised. (I'm not good
with stairs.)
The first things people usually notice about me
The holes in my shoes. The bangs in my eyes. Awkwardness. Height.
Freckles.
Self-deprecating comments. Frazzled behavior. Being pretty fucking
clueless in general.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
The lists are lengthening.
Favorite authors: Georges Bataille, Saul Bellow, Charles Bukowski,
Albert Camus, J. M. Coetzee, Knut Hamsun, Ernest Hemingway, Hermann
Hesse, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Joe Sacco, John Steinbeck
Favorite bands/musicians: Air, Apes & Androids, Beirut, Blonde
Redhead, Boards of Canada, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Clap Your
Hands Say Yeah, CocoRosie, Cut Copy, Daft Punk, The Doors, Erik
Satie, Joy Division, Julie Doiron, Justice, The Knife, Liz
Isenberg, M83, The Microphones, Mount Eerie, M. Ward, My Bloody
Valentine, New Order, The Notwist, Philip Glass, Portishead, Sigur
Ros, Sunset Rubdown, The Velvet Underground, The Verve Remixed,
Vincent Gallo, Wolf Parade, Yeasayer, The Zombies
Movies: Salvador
The six things I could never do without
autumn, books, music, the sauce, the city, trips out of the city
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What I'm reading. What I'm listening to. What everyone else is
thinking. How much I miss Chicago. How little I miss North
Carolina. Social media.
On a typical Friday night I am
Complaining about the crowds. Looking for a bar where I can hear
people. Then getting shy and reading.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm too afraid to ride my bike in Manhattan. I must overcome
this.
I joined for research. It's hilarious; carry on.
The university mailing asking me to support the alumni magazine had
"Support the serial comma" on the envelope. I found this amazing,
cut it out, and taped it to my wall.
You should message me if
You don't use generic e-speak like u, cya, ne1. if u rite like
this, i wont talk 2 u.
I refuse to use the IM system. I think stating this plainly is fair
warning.
