Books
I don't know. All I do is lay in bed and read. I have a tattoo of someone reading, I'm so obsessed. Um... Okay: Donna Tartt's The Secret History; Michael Cunningham's Specimen Days; Audrey Niffenegger's Time Traveler's Wife. Those are my favorites right now, out of the kitchillion billion million books I've read in my lifetime.
I like Neil Gaiman too, less than I used to, but still a lot.

This is my Blogspot journal and this is the journal on my website, which is slightly outdated but goes back many years, so you can see what I was like before medication. The short answer: Much more interesting.
And finally, this is a video of me spinning in circles.
Who I'd like to meet: A tall, left-handed lanky Irish fellow with curly red hair and half-sleeve forearm tattoos (good ones) who can draw and paint better than I can. He'll have a curly mustache and be brilliant and well-read and clever and say evil things in my ear with his accent. Yes, That's it. I want to specifically meet that exact person. In fact, maybe I can just stuff a suit full of hay and draw a face on it with a sharpie. It'll be about as satisfying. Also:
A pale-skinned girl who reminds me of me.
People who can spell and punctuate. Really—you should at least be able to know the difference between ‘you’re’ and ‘your’ (unless you've got a crippling case of dyslexia or something, in which case I apologize). Also:
People who quote The Simpsons (no, not just Ralph). Also:
The big bad wolf. Also:
People who want to buy me presents , which you don't.

Now I'm blushing, I never knew you ever thought I was. As are you, stuffing your face. Will our paths cross as we head East this Autumn? Pleae help us find an awesome gig and perhaps we can make it happen!
Hi Rain. How does your garden grow? Good news: we've finished our CD and we're coming East this October to support the release. If you have any suggestions for shows in your area, please let me know. Be in touch! Much love, - Loki
He told me that I knew just what to laugh at And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back so I could know for certain So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing While doubling entendres with the voicings He said "O darling, you're charming Please don't find it alarming if I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting"
Now there there I'm a friendly man I joke about sex because it's funny when you're frightened
ya know, your new pic makes you look like you're eating brains. umm - oh... well in that case; never mind, i'll just say it was miso if anyone starts to ask pesky questions.... =)
