My self-summary Propose an edit

I am a jerk. I only have "friends" because I buy them. Sex is over after I cum.

"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ...we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kafka

Usually, 90% of how I feel about someone's profile is solely based on their books section. I want people to look at my page and gasp in amazement at how they've finally found someone who appreciates the exact same categorical shit as they do.

Science Fiction: Orson Scott Card- Ender's Game, Neil Stephenson- Snow Crash, Max Barry- Jennifer Government, Octavia E. Butler- Parable of the Sower, Neil Gaiman- American Gods, Robert A. Heinlein- Stranger in a Strange Land
Fantasy: George R.R. Martin- A Song of Ice and Fire. (this is one of the most fantastic things I've ever read in fantasy and I fail to see why more people do not have it listed), J.V. Jones- Sword of Shadows, Philip Pullman- His Dark Materials, Piers Anthony- Incarnations of Immortality (When I was younger, I was constantly amazed at how mind-blowing all of his mini-series were, while Xanth, his most popular line of novels, sucked.), Stephen King- The Dark Tower
Memoirs: David Sedaris- Me Talk Pretty One Day Dave Eggers- A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Toby Young- How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Non-fiction: Michael Pollen- The Omnivore's Dilemna, Chuck Klosterman- Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs Sarah Vowell- Assassination Vacation, Nancy Etcoff- Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty (Never again will I question whether or not physical appearances mean anything. This book, more than anything else, makes me believe that psychology and sociology are real fields that lead to illuminating insight about human nature, not just two cop-out college majors for ditzy blonde sorority chicks.)
Philosophy: Ayn Rand- Atlas Shrugged, Fredrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- Beyond Good and Evil, Richard Dawkins- The God Delusion/The Selfish Gene (I came out of the metaphorical closet about being an atheist. He changed the way I see the world.)
Fiction: Douglas Adams- Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Kurt Vonnegut- Cat's Cradle.
I can tentatively say that every single profile I've seen belonging to a male with over an 85% match with me has one or both of the above-mentioned authors in their books section. Coincidence? I think not.
Mary Doria Russell- The Sparrow, Stephen Chbosky- The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Chuck Palahniuk- Fight Club, Sara Gruen- Water of Elephants, Khaled Hosseini- A Thousand Splendid Suns/The Kite Runner, Arthur Golden- Memoirs of a Geisha (I'm a girl, what do you expect? My reading taste has to have its flaws. Also, I read one book of Discworld (he co-wrote it with someone else) AND I THOUGHT IT SUCKED. And consequently never read another one again. Maybe that's what happens when you start in a series, I'm starting to doubt my judgment on that since it's so prevalent around here.) Sue Monk Kidd- The Secret Life of Bees, Yann Martel- The Life of Pi (I actually was wavering on whether or not this book was based on a true story- until they got to the island =P), William Golding- Lord of the Flies (I would hate this book so much if it was literal, but you can't deny amazing storyline analogies.), Laurie Halse Anderson- Speak, Jeffrey Eugenides- Middlesex, Jonathan Foer- Everything is Illuminated (If you have any interest in Jewish roots, fucking amazing parallel stories, or Gogol Bordello, you need to get on this.), Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus- The Nanny Diaries, Daniel Wallace- Big Fish, Sarah Waters- Tipping the Velvet

...oh wait, I am supposed to talk about other things in this box.
This is all I can handle in a night.

If it's any comfort, I have fantastic taste in music (though I'll admit I place too much emphasis on the current stuff), reasonably good taste in movies for the small percentage I've seen, awesome taste in comedians, and I love food. Om nom nom. If it's edible and holds still, I will introduce it to my digestive system in no time at all!

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

I am pleasantly surprised that my photo limit went up from 5 pictures to 10! When did this happen? Well, in lieu of writing something with substance, that recent discovery has prompted me to opt for ripping off a recent Facebook picture of me, in a dress(!) on the beach(!) and posting it here. It appears that most of the people who view my page would appreciate that more than another long rambling anecdote about my life in any case.

If you want me to say something interesting to you, message me (I like it when other people set the tone, so I expect you to give about the same measure that you'd like back in return... you don't have to try very hard, just be honest and act like yourself). I feel like a total jerk because school got back in session for the summer (feel especially free to contact me if you think you're any good at Calc III or Physics w/ Calc III) so my time has been spent falling asleep on aquaticrna's shoulder in class, sorely feeling the absence of naked_bat_boy's presence (I probably spend more time during lectures thinking about him than the blackboard equations), then dashing out the door as soon as the bell rings to signal the end of my day and running around the whole damn city with lemurs_man and sashikers (two girls far more lovely than myself), and then forgoing sleep to do silly things at 3 am, like watching the moon rise on Alki Beach with walrusaur (hence the new profile picture, and one of many demonstrations of how I continuously mess up my sleep cycle and keep myself chronically exhausted before I wake up the next day and do it all again).
Well, that was a fantastic one-sentence plug for all of my UW friends who are keeping me company on this website.
I make really bad life decisions. Between choosing school, friends, or boys that it'll never work out with in the long run, I'll usually pick everything at once and end up in a huge mess.

Oh wait, the original point of this!
I am sincerely sorry if I have promised to write you back and failed to do so, as of yet. I haven't forgotten. I promise I will do it eventually, but it will have to be on an afternoon when I'm not busy with schoolwork, or silently cursing my friends out because we're miles away from my desk doing anything but class-related activities. I just don't like half-assing things, you know? And maybe I should, if my silence is mistaken for apathy, although I personally think a poorly hashed-out reply would be an even worse insult.

This was inspired by tiaxthemighty. I feel like a jerk for never continuing on, and thanks for the email (which sufficiently inspired me to demonstrate that I'm still alive, when previously I couldn't motivate myself to stop neglecting this account). Also, it bothers me how static these pages are, and if people are going to continuously check back to it I'll try to change it up and keep things interesting? Hopefully.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Wild rabid weasels from other planets wrote my self-summary. I fed Naked Bat Boy to the wolves.
