I am charming, slanted, and enchanted.

My Self-Summary

One of my favorite outfits consists of jeans and a black t-shirt. I have a drawer full of black t-shirts (with matching black underwear). Not that I don't have some style, I just wear black t-shirts because they're easy. Yet somehow I manage to get toothpaste on them all the time. I blame it on my fancy-pants Sonicare toothbrush. That pretty much sums me up. I like black t-shirts. Yet I will sacrifice them for dental hygiene.

Really, I think self-summaries are pretty silly. It's like at an interview or bad date: "So, tell me about yourself." Uh, like what should I tell you? It's a bit vague, don't you think?

What I’m doing with my life

Watching people and trying to figure out what they're thinking.
I'm an artist, because, well, now that I think about it, I guess there's no good reason to be an artist. And I have a little business.

I’m really good at

making strangers (and people I know) laugh
giving (though not necessarily taking) good advice
wiggling my ears (one at a time!)
teaching myself to do creative things
walking fast
misusing grammar intentionally
bantering wittily
giving little gifts
debating
cuddling
knowing random things
analyzing stuff and making sense of it
and scrapbooking. Actually, I've never done any scrapbooking, but I find something perversely fascinating about it.

The first things people usually notice about me

My eyelashes, I guess. Which are right next to my eyes. So people probably notice my eyes, too. When I was a baby, people always thought I was a girl. But I'm not.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Favorite Music: Fleet Foxes, Aphex Twin, The Beatles, Belle & Sebastian, Big Star, Bill Evans, Bob Dylan, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Cut Copy, Clipse, David Bowie, Guns N' Roses==Appetite, Iron and Wine, Junior Boys, Kanye West, King Tubby, LCD Soundsystem, My Bloody Valentine, Nick Drake, Nirvana, No Age, Pavement, Pere Ubu, Pet Shop Boys, Pulp, Sonic Youth, Tindersticks, Velvet Underground, Wu Tang Clan

Books: Virginia Woolf, Thomas Pynchon, Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, William Blake, etc

Movies: David Lynch, "Little Darlings", "Le Samourai", "Volver", "Perfect Blue", Truffaut (Antoine Doinel), Sergio Leone, Hitchcock, Dario Argento, classics, just saw "Youth of the Beast" which was amazing, some 80s movies and on and on and on

Food: Chinese, Mexican, Thai, Corn Dogs, Indian, Italian, Philly cheesesteaks, hamburgers, middle eastern food and I'm sure some I'm missing

The six things I could never do without

friends/family, iPod/Netflix, shelter, pen/paper, my Mac and

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Pugs. That's it. Pugs.

On a typical Friday night I am

Friday is the new Tuesday.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am a dinosaur and I will eat you.

You should message me if

You like dinosaurs.
You think I sound interesting, and you also think that you're interesting (but not in a full-of-yourself kind of way).
You are Liz Lemon.
You've seen Little Darlings.
You can make me laugh my ass off.
You do creative stuff.
You can teach me something.
You want to trade mix tapes.
You like to cuddle, but not if it gets too hot.
You have a cute haircut like in a French New Wave movie.
You want to know what's on my mind grapes.

Or you're bored. Don't be shy! I really am looking to meet people.
