I am awesome, awesomer, and the awesomest.
My Self-Summary
Hi everyone! I have no idea what to say here.
I think this is part where I'm supposed to tell you how I'm not
like all the other guys. This is where I tell you how indie I am
and how I like movies by
Rodriguez and
Tarantino--which I do--and listen to
things like
Modest Mouse and
Minus the Bear--which I
do--and how I'm so amazing and I'm so fun to hang out with--which I
am--and that I'm the most trustworthy, outgoing, ridiculously
good-looking--that's probably a bit of a stretch, but I'm gonna run
with it--guy on the planet, but...
Nah, I'll skip it. You can figure all that out later.
What I’m doing with my life
I have a good job, I'm trying to finish school, I have some of the
coolest roommates ever... that's it mostly. :)
I also have an ex-girlfriend that wants to kill me
because--KIDDDDIIINNGG!! I'm so totally kidding~ She actually only
enjoys terrorizing people I date. :)
I’m really good at
Iunno. I like to play my
drums a lot lately. Since I moved into an
apartment I had to get an electronic set, but I kept my acoustic
set just because.
Cuddling? I think
that's a pretty awesome talent, but some people aren't impressed.
:(
The first things people usually notice about me
You tell me? (how original)
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Shogun by James
Clavell is an amazing book. It was recently brought to my attention
that some other people my age--she knows who she is--actually have
favorite books by
Jerry Spinelli, like
Maniac Magee. If
you're at a 5th grade reading level and can spare a few bucks I
promise it's worth it.
I like a lot of music. I mostly listen to
indie/rock/hardcore/trance, but I can listen to anything.
To give you an idea, here are some bands I like in no particular
order--I just clicked randomize playlist on my music player and
jotted down some artists:
Sky Eats
Airplane,
Anomie,
Death Cab for Cutie,
Azure Ray,
Pete Yorn,
The
American Analog Set,
Band of Horses,
Ben's Imaginary
Band,
Thursday,
Syd Matters,
Colour Revolt,
NUMBER GIRL,
Cursive,
The Cure,
The Fall of Troy,
Les Savy Fav,
Anathallo,
Desaparecidos, and
Joan of Arc
Sometimes I listen to ska music, like the Japanese band
Ska Ska Club.
Oh.. and post-rock. Let's not forget
God is an Astronaut,
Mogwai,
Caspian,
Moving Mountains,
The
Appleseed Cast, and
This Will Destroy You. And
newer folk or alt-country.. I love
Deer Tick. :)
There are plenty of great movies, but I can be really critical.
Movies for me are probably more about enjoying the good company of
the person I watch them with. Since some of you were curious, here
are a few of my favorites:
Groundhog
Day,
Last Life in the
Universe,
Lost in Translation,
Léon the
Professional,
Jacob's Ladder,
The Big
Lebowski,
Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
Ichi the Killer,
Slumdog
Millionaire, and pretty much anything with
Christian Bale in it or
directed by
Takashi Miike. Sometimes I just
need a comedy, like
Big Daddy or
Hot Rod.
There are lots of movies I guess, but I'll stop there. I actually
tend to like movies that have little plot, but lots of amazing
cinematography.
Chicken, pizza, Americanized Chinese food, and ice cream.. yep.
The six things I could never do without
My friends... and...
That's pretty much it.
If we exclude anything vital and go ahead and assume we all ready
have things like food and shelter and even assume we have a car,
and I absolutely had to pick 5 other things that I really love even
though they aren't actually necessary and man this sentence is
really long I wonder how many words I could cram in here before you
give up and stop reading, I think they would be...
*
iPod for my
tunes
*
XBOX 360 for
movies and games
*
Laptop because
it's my job and I love it
*
Drumset
* Freedom :)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to get into trouble... or out of trouble... whichever is
applicable.
On a typical Friday night I am
Outside or inside.. probably with my friends doing something
stupid, illegal, or both.
Or we're just hanging out watching movies... we like to live
dangerously.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
That ex-girlfriend I mentioned above was a lie. Surprise!
You should message me if
You're curious.
