I'm not sure if you can get more nuts so thats not an issue; just try to stay away from switching from cheeky, fun, cool nuts to sad and depressed nuts.

Design, art, music, reading, movies, architecture, my mammal-rama (2 cats, 11 rats), sarcasm, and being handy. I like Stoli cocktails, good wine, and Tanqueray martinis (straight up, two olives) when I'm feeling decadent, and well drinks and Blue Light when I'm not. Coffee, ranch dressing, grape flavored water, Thai food, Indian buffets, and pineapple juice rock my world. I'm Henry Rollins' biggest fan. I collect pet rats, undergraduate degrees, shoes, and all things Mr. T. I'm afraid of spiders, dark rooms, the circus, and the GOP. I don't want to grow up, but I've never been a Toys-R-Us kid. I love socks, thunderstorms, Gerbera daisies, and mid-day naps. I hate misplaced apostrophes, waiting, tomatoes, and people who suck. Asymmetry makes me nervous. Bad spelling makes me crazy. Strawberry flavor makes me sick. Bernie Mac creeps me the fuck out. I know a little about - and am sort of good at - a lot of things, but not an expert or exceptionally good at anything. I'm addicted to clearance sales. I have way too much useless shit. I wear Mary Janes and cardigan sweaters a lot. I think poop is funny. I like boiled hot dogs and I don't care what anyone thinks about that. I spend most of my days pursuing happiness, chasing stability, dodging creditors, playing musical instruments that I have no idea how to play, shuffling clutter, squeezing every last drop from Stafford loans, and reassuring myself that I'm not all that bad.
Music
All over the map. Pretty much anything except country, contemporary hip-hop (old-school gangsta rap, however, is a guilty pleasure of mine), Springsteen, DMB (sorry Rachel!!), and most of the garbage they play on the radio.
Rollins, Throwing Muses, Cake, Beck, Flaming Lips, Beastie Boys, Morphine, Joni Mitchell, Primus, Portishead, EBTG, Ben Folds, G. Love, Mason Jennings, Steely Dan, Joe Jackson, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Fun Lovin' Criminals, My Morning Jacket, Parliament, Wesley Willis, all things Sinatra, Brand New Heavies, XTC, Carole King, Filter, Sloan, Patsy Cline (the only country artist I do like), Electric Six, Sparklehorse, Shawn Colvin, Doves, Neil Young, The Clash, and every band on my friends list plus many, many more. This list could go on for pages and pages!
Movies
Slingblade, The Big Lebowski, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, My Bodyguard, Alice, Full Metal Jacket, The Killer, South Park, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Fish, Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers, Thank You for Smoking, Don't Be a Menace (to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood), The Apartment, Requiem for a Dream, Coffee and Cigarettes, Very Bad Things, Fried Green Tomatoes, U-Turn, Art School Confidential, Night Shift, Office Space, Rushmore, Network, the original Manchurian Candidate and Ocean's 11, From Here to Eternity, The Man With the Golden Arm, Marriage on the Rocks (can you tell I'm a Sinatra fan?) All things John Waters, everything Michael Moore, and anything that makes me laugh.
Television
Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh, The Henry Rollins Show...all online, of course, since I don't have cable and the reception on my TV sucks shit - even with the rabbit ears.
And when I can't watch, I get my recaps here: www.televisionwithoutpity.com. You should, too.
Books
Not doing much reading these days thanks to a hectic schedule and a short attention span...But I can tell you that my shelves are stocked with lots of John Updike, David Sedaris, Joyce Carol Oates, Henry Rollins, writers of the Lost Generation, and yes, the Harry Potter series.

About me: I'm not really crazy. But I do have a lot of rats. Also, I'm a Gemini, a Buffalo "repatriate," and a really awful cook. I'm fat and trying not to be anymore, because the world is a very unfriendly place when you're overweight and life is too short to spend it hiding under big shirts.
Anyway...I'm a full-time student and a part-time coffee jockey. I love being alone but hate being ignored. I have a "thing" about personal space. I talk too much. I'm way too sarcastic. And apparently this is not always a good thing.
mama meesyuh. your blog.... is hysterical. jesus fucking hysterical. "smelled like poverty" hahah. most of those are funny because i know the people (even the ones with initals) that was a ballsy undertaking and i'm glad you did it. lets do lunch soon, k? i've been dying to try indian food- maybe you could show me the ropes? text me!
Philly was an easy beautiful 7 hour drive. And I have plenty of space, so if I can tempt you with some excellent Thai food: please come visit me! Even if you don't like Thai, come visit me anyway: Philly has no witty Deedee and I miss you!
This Saturday Chylde is @ ye olde Mohawk Place in Buffalo, NY. Playing with us will be Johnny Nobody and Township (Boston, MA). Township fucking rules and you would be crazy to miss them. Their new album just dropped and it’s nothing but rock. We also very excited to play a few of our new tunes that we plan on recording soon. Come down to bang your head and grab a few drinks with da boys.
i'm pretty sure i smell of garlic. i'm pretty sure i ate too many of those glorious cheesy garlic breads. i'm pretty sure i had a good time eating dinner with you. i'm pretty sure we should do it again soon.

Did you know that Mama Impala in South Africa has the ability to prolong giving birth for an additional month if conditions are harsh? Like some girl I know, who kept going from place to place for 3 weeks until conditions were right…
