I like my music slow and movies slower, except for when I don't.
I have one pet rat. He moved with me from Chicago to California. He's pretty old. 10/07/08 He died.
My computer only runs in Safe Mode XP.
I'm lying! I just got a new computer.
The new computer was stolen from work, so I got another new computer! But then I got chicken soup in it. But it still works! Everything is fine!
The chicken soup corroded through everything important a year later.
My hair is black now because we just did this thing. It went really well, thanks for asking!
Phew, it's normal again.
Now it's long! You'd never recognize me! I got lazy.
Citizens on Patrol, the Band That Could, and Did, and Will Again, is on myspace, here. Our legacy will never die (although, were you to join our mailing list, I guarantee nothing would happen). Yea, the Rock that Passeth Understanding lives on in the hearts and minds of those who have forged on.
Also, in our video. Here's our video:

I blog about video games and pop culture at Infinite Lives dot net. All my del.icio.us bookmarks automatically appear at my tumblr.
I'm actually not very good at making new friends on the internet. I think I probably ought to state this up front. If you are someone I already know, though, say hello!
What's the Haps!
This is where the twitter thing would go. :(
Here is music instead.
Also:
I should probably warn you that what follows is a lie I never updated this once but now it's true again!:
Happy Halloween!! now starts the downhill of the year for me, and that's a good thing. but, you should see me now. i actually walk like Frankenstein now with all of the pain in my back and knee. Doc told me that my tendons look like spaghetti, then he laughed. i think i might have missed his joke. "but", he said, "with all seriousness, it's a mystery how your erector spinae are still attached." and then he slapped me on the back. ......... don't know why life is like this. the bright side? not being able to stand upright now gives me a reason to talk to someones boobs. :P
Was this Tobias that just died? Or am I thinking of one of the guys buried in Ev, IL? Give me a call and say hi when you have the chance...Aaron and I just moved into a new place that both we and the cats like a lot. (There's even space to crash if you come visit!)
happy late birthday. if punctuality were my forte, i would have chosen my career to be a clock. instead, i am a hard-ass officer that will probably be late for my own funeral. (at least that's what the general consensus is)
hey, jenn! i heard you might be moving to nyc? is that just a rumor? i hope not, cause i'll be there starting mid-june. hope everything has been well for you, i'd love to catch up with you sometime soon. :)
Hey, I never got a cold reading but I was right there several times during some freaky shit. I tried my best to disprove anything but always came up empty handed. It was a fun and weird show to be on for sure!
